Operating system: Win XP Version of Python: 2.4 I recognize that this question is not about Python...it has only a tangential Python connection. I'm using a Python package to run a process; that process is issuing an error, and I'm hoping that someone on this site can point me to the site that has the appropriate expertise.
Situation is this: 1) using win32com.client.Dispatch to work with the MSXML2.XMLHTTP COM object 2) I use the open() method of the COM object and specify a "POST", then I use the send() method of the COM object 3) when the url is an http url, able to send and then check the responseText property without problems 4) when the url is an https url, the open() method works, but when the send() method is invoked, it raises an exception with the error message: "the download of the specified resource has failed" 5) when I use Google with searches such as "XMLHTTP", "https", "download of the specified resource", I see that other people are experiencing the issue, but I didn't see any solutions, nor did I see whether there was a site (perhaps a Usenet group) on which it would make sense to post this issue Eventually, I want to learn whether the XMLHTTP COM object can work with https url's, but what I'm hoping to learn from this post is advice as to which site I should post this question so that it might be read by folks with the appropriate subject-matter expertise. Thank you. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
