Hi folks, Recently, ICCF changed to a secured server for xfcc Correspondence Chess.
There wasn't a notice sent, but I quickly figured this out because sicd doesn't support secure xfcc connections :-) After communicating with ICCF support, they have changed their xfcc url to: https://www.iccf.com/xfccbasic.asmx I wrote a patch for "correspondence.tcl" that adds https support, but it should be reviewed. Apologies if this isn't the best way to receive patches, I tried to access the "How to create patches" link in the wiki, but received: Error 403: Create access required scid-code/tcl/tools/correspondence.tcl %> diff -u correspondence-old.tcl correspondence.tcl --- correspondence-old.tcl 2014-08-03 12:02:54.000000000 -0500 +++ correspondence.tcl 2014-08-03 11:38:50.000000000 -0500 @@ -458,6 +458,17 @@ append xmlmessage "" append xmlmessage $::Xfcc::SOAPend + #----------------------------------------------------------- + # https check + # using default port of 443, but should be configurable + # + if {[regexp -nocase ^(https://)(.*) $uri]} { + package require http + package require tls + http::register https 443 ::tls::socket + } + #----------------------------------------------------------- + # send it to the web service note the space before the charset set token [::http::geturl $uri \ -type "text/xml; charset=\"utf-8\"" \ %> Here is my xfccrc file of both unsecured and secure xfcc links: %> more ~/.scid/config/xfccrc <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <xfcc> <server> <name>SchemingMind</name> <uri>http://www.schemingmind.com/xfcc/xfccbasic.asmx</uri> <user>wrathko</user> <pass>xxxx</pass> <rating>USCF</rating> </server> <server> <name>ICCF</name> <uri>https://www.iccf.com/xfccbasic.asmx</uri> <user>515708</user> <pass>xxxx</pass> <rating>USCF</rating> </server> </xfcc> SCID is a great product, please let me know if I can help further! ah.
