Hi everyone,
This is my first post to the list. Hopefully this is a question with
a simple answer; here goes...
I'm using Web Services Core to make an XML-RPC call using the
MetaWeblog API. This is working fine, but the API sends
authentication information in cleartext, so I'd like to use SSL
(which is set up on the same server at port 443). The WSC
documentation claims that both HTTP and HTTPS transport are
supported, so I tried simply changing the URL scheme to https.
Doing this breaks things, and I get a result dictionary that looks
like this:
{
"/FaultCode" = -65794;
"/FaultExtra" = {domain = 3; error = -9812; msg = "Stream
Error"; };
"/FaultString" = "/CFStreamFault";
"/kWSResultIsFault" = 1;
}
I see that domain 3 indicates an SSL problem (as expected), but does
anyone know
(a) what error -9812 is, and
(b) if what I'm trying to do is actually possible, or if I need to
drop into the CFHTTP layer?
One other piece of possibly relevant information: the server's
certificate isn't certified by a real certificate authority like
VeriSign--it's acting as its own CA. I tried telling Safari to always
trust the certificate in the event that -9812 had something to do
with that, and in the event that the network APIs would somehow know
about those settings, to no avail.
Thanks much,
Ed
