Possible to get https request in a compiled macro?

Hi!

How can i redistribute a compiled .exe that is accessing a https URL?

For example.
HTTPRequest>https://www.abc.se/,,GET,,XML_Out

I do not want to force the user to install OpenSSL. I have tried to just put the OpenSSL files in the same folder as the executable, but not working.

Help!

Thanks

I'm afraid the user will have to install OpenSSL.

Why not package up your EXE and the OpenSSL libraries into an installer file using for e.g. Inno Setup or similar.

Code: Select all

I use this solution:

Download the "binaries" from this page as a zip file
http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/openssl.htm

Unzip the contents

find the files libeay32.dll (version 0.9.8.8) and libssl32.dll
(version 0.9.8.8) in the Bin folder

Make a copy of libssl32.dll and call it "ssleay32.dll"

Now just deliver all 3 DLL files in the same folder as the
compiled Macro Scheduler EXE
(libeay32.dll     libssl32.dll     ssleay32.dll)

Using this method, I didn't have to do any special SSL "install",
run regsvr32.exe, or do any registry hacks.  It just works.

Sounds nice.
I did as You described, but it is not working.

Just putting the DLL in the same folder as executable is not working.
And I get "DllRegisterServer entry point was not found " and the dll are not registererd when trying to register them with Regsvr32.exe.

Thanksfor any help.

I had not seen that Let>HTTP_SSL=1 was required.

It appears to work with just putting
ssleay32.dll and libeay32.dll in the same folder.

Thanks!
