We have today made Macro Scheduler build 14.4.07 available.
This release effects only the HTTPRequest function when using SSL. It addresses an issue where some sites that used SNI (Server Name Identification) would fail to load.
We’ve also made TLS1.2 the default security protocol so that you don’t have to set it explicitly. You can still set a lower version (TLS1 or TLS1.1) if you need to override it by setting TLS_VER to 1 or 11.
Very few sites now use SSLv3 due to its vulnerabilities. Most now require TLS1.2. However, if you MUST use one of the older SSL versions instead of TLS you can do so by setting HTTPS_SSLVER to one of SSLV2, SSLV23, SSL3 or ALL.
It is also no longer necessary to set the HTTP_SSL variable as HTTPRequest will enable it if the URL starts with HTTPS.
So all that is needed for retrieving a page via SSL is:
HTTPRequest>https://www.mjtnet.com/,,GET,,strResponse
Finally, the default for HTTP_USERAGENT is now “Macro Scheduler (www.mjtnet.com)”. We’ve done this because we discovered that the default value set internally by the development library we use is often filtered out by administrators, causing requests to fail (lots of other apps use the same library). You can of course set it to whatever you want.
