Hello everybody;
I need help please.
This is the code below.
Code: Select all
*Buffer = ReceiveHTTPMemory("https://www.armacomputer.com.tr/downloads/PRG/arma.SOFT/versions")
If *Buffer
Size = MemorySize(*Buffer)
Debug "Content: " + PeekS(*Buffer, Size, #PB_UTF8|#PB_ByteLength)
FreeMemory(*Buffer)
Else
Debug "Failed"
EndIf
This code works on Linux, Windows 10 etc. But doest work on Windows 7. Result is "Failed" on Wİndows 7. Is there any solution for this code works on Windows 7 or not?

Fails here on Win7 too... But when I replace the first line with "*Buffer = ReceiveHTTPMemory("
https://vaughn.live/browse/misc")" it works. So I guess the problem is with your server

Thanks for your answer.
Yes i noticed. that before.. This code works with some server on Windows 7. But the same always work on Windows 10 or Linux etc.
I want to fix if possible on Windows 7 work as the others.

Perhaps Windows 7 is treating something in the data as a redirection, since it contains so much that almost seems like a URL. I would try adding the below switch just to see.
#PB_HTTP_NoRedirect

Thank you for your kind answer... But that doesnt work either
I did find other way for windows 7. curl.exe. But i am still looking for other solution if possible.

There's a certificate error. I just tried with wget on our Linux server. Due to Windows 7's age, it might be related, the same as we often see with Let's Encrypt etc.
wget
www.armacomputer.com.tr/downloads/PRG/a ... T/versions
[…]
ERROR: cannot verify www.armacomputer.com.tr's certificate, issued by â/C=US/O=Let's Encrypt/CN=R3â:

have you tried HTTPRequestMemory instead with #PB_HTTP_WeakSSL or #PB_HTTP_NoSSLCheck

Thank you for your nice answers...
I found my own method. curl.exe. I call durl.exe and use this.
Thank you again.

PureBasic is using libcurl
But if you want to do it yourself, use my libcurl.pbi and test HTTPRequestI()

I had been thinking exactly the same thing. An incompatibility between libcurl and Windows 7 maybe? I don't know

I tried it when searching for ideas/solutions... a bunch of missing imports. I gave up quickly since the files were so old, and PB has a way of breaking backwards compatibility if not kept up...

Ah, thanks. I had a wrong post ...
I ran it - I get a "SSL connect error" message from the code
Code: Select all
*HTTPRequest\Result = curl_easy_perform(*HTTPRequest\curl)
If *HTTPRequest\Result <> #CURLE_OK
Debug curl_easy_strerror(*HTTPRequest\Result)
EndIf
(Yes, I used #PB_HTTP_NoSSLCheck)
Wonder why the browsers can fetch this page, but nothing else... Curious indeed.
thanks for the help... I guess I shall stick with shelling to wget.exe (which, I specify no parameters & it handles the ssl certificate ok, just like the browsers)

This has nothing to do with the certificate.
Windows 7 itself can not handle TLS 1.3
"Windows 7 doesn't support TLS1.3, end-of. (...)
So you need an external solution.
Unfortunaley the PB inbuild libcurl uses the system ssl stuff. -> you fail.
If you are using my HTTPRequestI, you can set
Before the include of HTTPReuestI.pbi. (At top of the program
)
Then you need the libcurl dll out of the zip file beside your executable.
If you are running from the IDE be sure to set 'create temporary exectuable in source directory', then you can place the dll in the sam edirectory.
This dll uses its own ssl with TLS 1.3 included.
