URLDownloadToCacheFile https failure

URLDownloadToCacheFile https failure

I'm having a problem with my ActiveX control when trying to download a file 
from a 
https tomcat server.
The function URLDownloadToCacheFile returns -2146697208 (0x800c0008).

Any ideas?

Thanks,
- Ralf

Do you by any chance have "Do not save encrypted pages to disk" option 
checked under Tools | Internet Options | Advanced | Security ?

With sufficient thrust, pigs fly just fine. However, this is not 
necessarily a good idea. It is hard to be sure where they are going to 
land, and it could be dangerous sitting under them as they fly 
overhead. -- RFC 1925

Hi Igor,

I have doublechecked that before. It's unchecked.

Thanks,

I've just tried this simple program - it works for me:

#include <windows.h>
#include <urlmon.h>

int main()
{
 CoInitialize(0);
 TCHAR file[MAX_PATH];
 HRESULT hr = URLDownloadToCacheFile(0, 
_T("https://www.mynfbonline.com/cashman/"),
  file, MAX_PATH, 0, 0);
 CoUninitialize();
 return 0;
}

There must be something specific to the particular server you are 
working with. Perhaps it's sending a Pragma: no-cache header or similar.

Re: URLDownloadToCacheFile https failure

Igor,

Thanks for you quick reply. Can you imagine any additional reason for that 
failure. Maybe some know problems with Apache/Tomcat systems?

Unfortunately I can not touch the system where the file is downloaded from...

Thanks,
- Ralf

Do you have to use URLDownloadToCacheFile? Have you tried 
URLDownloadToFile? Does it fail in the same way?

Re: URLDownloadToCacheFile https failure

Igor,

I didn't try another function so far.

But your hint with the pragma pointed me to the folowing articles:
http://www.mail-archive.com/tomcat-user@jakarta.apache.org/msg151294.html
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=316431

I let you know if this solved the issue...

Thanks,
- Ralf
