Will HTTPS ever use port 80

[Sharkey, Aoife]

 

Hi folks,

 

URL example:

 

https://www.myweb.com:80/xmlportal/XML.asp

If I specify port 80 in the URL the SSL_Connect takes a long time to return the response,

The server is using port 443 for SSL connections but I want to able to check against port 80 in case it's ever changed to port 80

 

what is the delay with HTTPS and port 80, why dosen't it return a faster response?

 

 

        BCGconnection->ctx= ::initialize_ctx();
        BCGconnection->ssl=SSL_new(BCGconnection->ctx);
        BCGconnection->sbio=BIO_new_socket(BCGconnection->sock,BIO_NOCLOSE);
        SSL_set_bio(BCGconnection->ssl,BCGconnection->sbio,BCGconnection->sbio);
     ret = SSL_connect(BCGconnection->ssl);
     int errorcode = SSL_get_error(BCGconnection->ssl, ret);
        if(ret <= 0)
        {
            MTWarning(("Error with SSL connection using Hostname--%s PortNumber--%d! ErrorCode = %d. Verify URL and PortNumber in configfile.")) 
            *status = STATUS_UNSPECIFIED_ERROR;
            delete connection;
            return  NULL;
        }
        else
        {
            Debug(1, ("SSL Connection Successful! Hostname--%s PortNumber--%d",));
            *status = STATUS_SUCCESS;
            return connection;
        }  

 

Thanks for your help,
