CInternetSession - get revocation server

Flaviu_ 1,031

I have the following endpoint address:

https://www.datasource.com/api/v1/fget_data?text=abcd&key=my_api_key

works fine callen from browser. But if I call this address from the following code:

CInternetSession session{};

...

std::unique_ptr<CStdioFile> pFile{ session.OpenURL(_T("https://www.datasource.com/api/v1/fget_data?text=abcd&key=my_api_key"), 1, INTERNET_FLAG_TRANSFER_BINARY | SECURITY_FLAG_IGNORE_REVOCATION, nullptr, 0) };

I got:

It was not possible to connect to the revocation server or a definitive response could not be obtained.

How can I overcome this error ?

You can disable the revocation check by removing the SECURITY_FLAG_IGNORE_REVOCATION flag from the OpenURL call. However, keep in mind that disabling the revocation check may have security implications, so use this option cautiously.

I have tried:

std::unique_ptr<CStdioFile> file{ session.OpenURL(sAddress, 1, INTERNET_FLAG_TRANSFER_ASCII) };

Same outcome ...

Check the correctness of the URL and query parameters you're passing to the OpenURL function. Ensure that the URL is correctly formatted and the parameters are properly encoded.

also consider using a different HTTP library or networking framework in your code to make the request. This can help determine if the issue is specific to the CInternetSession class or if it's related to the network configuration or server-side.

May be you're connecting to does not have any specific requirements or restrictions that could be causing the issue. For example, it may require certain headers or user agent information to be included in the request.
