hs.geturl ssl issue

[Malosa]

Hi all,

i was trying something but how exactly can i get an url with ssl?
other sites work normal,

ERROR: The request was aborted: Could not create SSL/TLS secure channel.


this is a very small bit of my code that throws the error i did simplify it,

Sub Main(ByVal Parms As Object)
Dim strSite = "http://carbu.com
                    'Dim strDocument =  "/belgie//index.php/station/gabriels/lanaken/3620/20495"
                    Dim strDocument =  ""
                    dim test as string
                    dim x as string

                    test = hs.GetUrl(strSite,strDocument,false,80)



                        hs.writelog("test",Test)


                    end sub

regards

It's probably related to SSL/TLS support in .NET 4. For instance .NET 4 only supports TLS 1.0 whereas many sites now have switched to TLS 1.2 or higher. No easy way around that without compiling HS3 in a later version of .NET. As you are on Windows, you can use hs.GetURLIE which provides the certificate support via Internet Explorer.

hi jon,

thanks for the reply, i did try it but get this error :

Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation.Overload resolution failed because no accessible 'GetURLIE' accepts this number of arguments.

It only has two parameters. Checkout: http://help.homeseer.com/help/HS3/st...ernet_geturlie

Maybe you should change the url you are using in your script from
"http://carbu.com" to "https://carbu.com"

[sparkman]

Add this to your script before the hs.geturl line:

        System.Net.ServicePointManager.SecurityProtocol = System.Net.SecurityProtocolType.Tls12

Add this to your script before the hs.geturl line:

 System.Net.ServicePointManager.SecurityProtocol = System.Net.SecurityProtocolType.Tls12

Does that work? I'm sure I read somewhere it was on valid with C#?

Yes, I use it in quite a few vb.net scripts.

I don't put much faith in Stackoverflow as the knowledge level of people varies wildly. I have working vb.net scripts in HS that don't throw an error with that line and it allowed me to access webpages that no longer support TLS 1.0 (i.e my scripts do not work without that line).

+1 on Al's suggestion. Simple fix works here as well.
If that format doesn't work out, try:
ServicePointManager.SecurityProtocol = 48 or 192 or 768 or 3072 ' Note: SSL3 = 48 TLS = 192 TLS11 = 768 TLS12 = 3072

thank you all for your reply,

but its kind of sad u need to use hs.geturlie.. it takes for me 20 seconds to return the data..
or im doing something wrong here

i already use jon00 scraper but i have to many scrapes at once running, so i wanted to build another script that runs a different time a day

like it opens 2x the site for 2 objects..
i did it like this, i simplify this code for myself and it works really well.

Dim strSite = "https://carbu.com/belgie/index.php/station/gabriels/lanaken/3620/20495"

System.Net.ServicePointManager.SecurityProtocol = System.Net.SecurityProtocolType.Tls12
e5 = hs.GetURLIE(strSite,false)
e10 = hs.GetURLIE(strSite,false)

x = Instr(1,e5,"panel-heading",+ 8)
                    e5 = Mid(e5,x)
                    x = Instr(1,e5, "Super 98 (E5)",1) +1
                    e5 = Mid(e5,x)
                    x = Instr(1,e5, "price",1) +1
                    e5 = Mid(e5,x)
                    x = Instr(1,e5, ">",1) +1
                    e5 = Mid(e5,x)
                    x = Instr(1,e5, "</h1",1) -1
                    e5 = Mid(e5,1,x)

hs.writelog("e5",e5)


x2 = Instr(1,e10,"panel-heading",+ 8)
                    e10 = Mid(e10,x2)
                    x2 = Instr(1,e10, "Super 95 (E10)",1) +1
                    e10 = Mid(e10,x2)
                    x2 = Instr(1,e10, "price",1) +1
                    e10 = Mid(e10,x2)
                    x2 = Instr(1,e10, ">",1) +1
                    e10 = Mid(e10,x2)
                    x2 = Instr(1,e10, "</h1",1) -1
                    e10 = Mid(e10,1,x2)

                        hs.writelog("e5",e10)

Why not open the site just once?

e5 = hs.GetURLIE(strSite,false)
e10 = e5
. . .

how could i forget that, wow

FYI, you can run individual/selection of scrapes using the script parameter entry. i.e.

Sub or Function: Main
Parameters: 5+7

This would just get scrapes from Grab 5 and Grab 7
