SendRequest error using Inetc plugin
Hi,

I am using the Inetc plugin to download from http and https locations.
I encounter SendRequest error even though the I can access the link from my IE.
How can I get more information about what is going wrong here? Is there any further
error information I can get or are there some logs created about why it is failing.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Regards,
Srividya

Post your inetc call.

inetc::get https://192.168.120.214/HostedVia/pr...1.0-704644.exe "$INSTDIR\Prerequisites\VMware-viewclient-5.1.0-704644.exe"

The website is hosted by us using IIS and I am trying to download and install one of the pre-requisites for our application. My initial guess is that it could be related to the SSL certificate though I am not sure.

Put /end on the end of the call:
inetc::get https://192.168.120.214/HostedVia/pr...1.0-704644.exe "$INSTDIR\Prerequisites\VMware-viewclient-5.1.0-704644.exe" /end

If that does not work then it may be a certificate issue as you say.

Thanks for your quick reply.

I tried adding /end to the end of the call but the problem persists.
Am able to download from a http site but fails when using https.
How does the Inetc call deal with SSL certificates when accessing https sites?

Check Inetc.cpp for details on dealing with HTTPS calls - http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Inetc_plug-in
