Classic ASP sample code for AIM Error

[wyang]

Hi,

I am trying to run a sample code for the AIM Classic ASP.  I did not change the code except for the values for x_login and x_tran_key.

The error message I'm getting is:

msxml3.dll error '800c0008'

System error: -2146697208.

Now, I've also tried to run a sample for the PHP version and that works fine.

What am I missing for the ASP sample?

Thanks,

Won

Hi Won,

This could be related to the server you are using. Try changing the following line of code in the sample:

Set objRequest = Server.CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP")

to

Set objRequest = Server.CreateObject("MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP")

Thank you,

Elaine

Allow me to also recommend that you use "MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP.3.0" for ASP pages.

Hey, thanks so much for your help, Elaine!  But unfortunately I'm getting a different error message now with your suggestion:

msxml3.dll error '80072f0d'

The certificate authority is invalid or incorrect

Thanks,

Won

Hi, jlowery

I tried your method too, but getting same error as above with Elaine's...

Thanks,

Won

Sorry, version 3 doesn't support SSL....use this one:

"MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP.4.0"

If you still get the error, you can try using the IServerXMLHTTPRequest setOption method  to set this flag:

"SXH_OPTION_IGNORE_SERVER_SSL_CERT_ERROR_FLAGS"

CAVEAT: I don't fully know the ramifications of setting this flag.  Do you're homework on it to make sure it doesn't affect anything else in your app.

jlowery,

Thanks again for your help.  I didn't really know how to set the flag variable you suggested, so I did some research and figured out a way.  I've modified the code a little and was able to get it to work!!  Thanks for ALL your help!!

CONST SXH_OPTION_IGNORE_SERVER_SSL_CERT_ERROR_FLAGS = 2;

CONST SXH_SERVER_CERT_IGNORE_ALL_SERVER_ERRORS = 13056;

Set objRequest = Server.CreateObject("MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP.4.0")

 objRequest.open "POST", post_url, false

 objRequest.setOption SXH_OPTION_IGNORE_SERVER_SSL_CERT_ERROR_FLAGS, SXH_SERVER_CERT_IGNORE_ALL_SERVER_ERRORS

 objRequest.send post_string

 post_response = objRequest.responseText

Set objRequest = nothing

Were you coding without a SSL certificate so that is why you got the error earlier?
