Facility Control

Hi
Is it possible to access URLs in Dashboard that start with https? I had tried to download a Google doc and couldn't get it to work. Also, what is the function header to use as a callback for the asyncPost?

Thanks
Simon

DashBoard does support HTTPS. It is quite likely that the Google Doc URL is providing something other than a simple web page or data stream to download.

Here is an example:

function cb(results)
{
   ogscript.debug(results);
}
ogscript.asyncPost('https://httpbin.org/', null, cb);

The variable "results" will be null if the post was not successful.

There is also a version that can return more detailed information in a JSON object.

function cb(results)
{
   if (results != null)
   {
     ogscript.debug(results.responseCode);
     ogscript.debug(results.contentType);
     ogscript.debug(results.url);
     ogscript.debug(results.value);
     ogscript.debug(results.bytes);
  }
}
ogscript.asyncPost('https://httpbin.org/', null, cb, true);

Brilliant! Thanks James for the code and also introducing me to the HTTP test site

Hi James
This has worked for one project, my other project where I need to download a Google sheet directly has this error:
sun.security.validator.ValidatorException: PKIX path building failed: sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target

I have tried running the javacpl.exe under c:\dashboard\jre\bin and add in what I think are the correct Google certificates, but it doesn't look like it is modifying the cacerts file.

Is this possible, amd if so, how do I do it please?

Thanks
Simon
