Re: put URL oddity

While *verified* encryption may be “required” by the major browsers and others 
for preventing "Man In the Middle” attacks, it’s still a hair ball that a lot 
of sites still haven’t figured out properly… and THAT is the big problem. 

Cost, expertise, hosting, maintenance of certs, etc. all contribute to it not 
being the standard that folks would like it to be. Free certs and tools to make 
it easier to implement are helping, but there is a long way to go. I’m sure it 
will get there at some point.

I am glad to see that LC is supporting the verification of certs, good stuff. A 
few years ago, I ran into an issue where it couldn’t verify a valid, verified 
cert from a major vendor.

I do like your idea though;)

When working with web servers, encryption is in fact ALWAYS required, because 
if someone can get at your web server they can plant drive by malware. Anything 
exposed to the internet requires modern encryption, and it can be argued that 
anything exposed to ANY network requires it. 

The alternative would have been to form an international squad of specialized 
assasins to hunt down every known hacker and purveyor of malware, and leave 
their tortured maimed bodies on the steps of the capital buildings of wherever 
they are from, so everyone gets the message. Unfortunately, the legal 
ramifications would have been too much to overcome.

Yes, what a nightmare!

This is going to be a nightmare for years to come… I understand the desire for

Just as those astronauts had better have a fall back plan, so should we:)

Ok, found it! In this case, you must set:

 libURLSetSSLVerification true

Otherwise you get that error, and in my case, nothing is returned, not even the 
error, at least with out using that tool.

Grrr!!! In a world where not everyone is using SSL even today, or using it

Thanks Mark, but that quote here is a regular quote. And I get nothing, even if 
I type the whole thing into the message box, which is what I’ve been doing to 
test.

Using Charles W’s neat little tools for debugging requests 
(https://downloads.techstrategies.com.au/tsnet/debug_liburl.livecode 
) I get 
that error:

_proxyForURL_proxyForURL end with none foundProxy for URL:

Hostname www.milfordmirror.com was found in DNS cache

Trying 104.31.78.67...

TCP_NODELAY set

WARNING: disabling hostname validation also disables SNI.

SSL re-using session ID

SSL peer handshake failed, the server most likely requires a client certificate 
to connect

Closing connection 50

Using his tool for TS Net 
(https://downloads.techstrategies.com.au/tsnet/sample_sync_stack.livecode) I 
get:

tsneterr: (35) SSL peer handshake failed, the server most likely requires a 
client certificate to connect

I’m all for figuring this out, but something seems to be very different between 
our results.

Quitting LC has no effect as well.

I’m running MacOS 10.12.6

Using Chrome's developer tools I can see no redirection going on here.

Watch your use of double quotes there. Your final character is a 'smart'

Re: put URL oddity

2018-08-03 Thread Stephen MacLean via use-livecode
Ok, so dug a bit deeper into this using TSNet.

the result I’m getting back is:

tsneterr: (35) SSL peer handshake failed, the server most likely requires a 
client certificate to connect

So it looks like the connection itself is being rejected.

Some googling came across some of the same issues with CURL, which IRC, TSNet 
uses??

Adding tsNetVerifySSLPeer false to disable SSL peer verification doesn’t help 
either.

Doesn’t solve the problem either.

Help from Charles W or someone else would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Steve MacLean

Re: put URL oddity

2018-08-03 Thread Stephen MacLean via use-livecode
Thanks, I think that it is as Tom mentioned a re-direct. That site is built 
using wordpress, and that’s most of what WP does.

So that begs the question, how do I get the  put URL command to follow a 
redirect?

Thanks,

Steve

For what it’s worth:

Using the URLs of the other affiliated newspaper sites at the bottom of the 
Milford Mirror page also don’t return anything in the message box.

maybe the url is a redirect and your request is not following it.

For me I have to include the protocol. So the “http://“ needs to be there to 
get any output.
