If you know what messages are sent between computers using
HTTPS, then you can learn it. Dont come here looking for
information that is not related to VB...not trying to be nasty, but
noone will answer your question.
Hey, Just to clear something up, YEs it can be adapted to use HTTPS, no, I don't think you will find anyone with the abilities to do so on this board. HTTPS (S for Secure) is not a simple protocol like HTTP or Telnet (well it kind of is) it is HTTP wrapped in an SSL (secure Socket Layer) connection, you may be able to do this with a simple program like stunnel, but I don't know, I have never tried it, but you are not going to write the code to do the encryption yourself. SSL uses the RSA public key encryption algotyrhm, which you have to pay RSA to include in your software, so their isn't a TON of source code floating around for it, on Linux, you could probably do it with OpenSSL / SSH.
Good luck,
Joey
You have no idea how many idiots there are among us.
