Sergey, Without SSL, your program probably succeeds in opening a socket to the server but since your program doesn't speak ssl it will get nothing, or more accurately you probably are getting an http redirect response telling you to move from port 80 (http) to port 443 (https). You can confirm that this is the case (or not) by doing something like this:
procedure main() url := "https://sourceforge.net/p/unicon/discussion/"; web := open(url, "m") | stop("Can't open " || url) web["Status-Code"] == 200 | stop("Error : ", web["Status-Code"], ":", web["Reason-Phrase"]) while s := read(web) do write(s) close(web) end If you have SSL enabled, then there are multiple ways your porgram could fail. 1- A bug in the underlying implementation: SSL is still Alpha state in unicon. 2- Your program couldn't find your trust store or a certificate for the specific website. You can set SSL_CERT_FILE or SSL_CERT_DIR environment variables. Most web browsers allow you to view/save the certificate for a specific website. You can use that feature to save the certificate in a specific location and then you can set SSL_CERT_FILE to its location. 3- You have a certificate but it is invalid (revoked, expired, etc.) Initially we allowed connections to website with unverifiable certificates, but we changed this recently to only allow valid certificates by default because users will assume that https connection would be secure (by default). You can override that by adding a dash "-" after the mode "m". So it is: web := open(url, "m-") | stop("Can't open " || url) Again, SSL is still experimental and we might change the behavior/options before we finalize the user interface. Feedback is always welcome.
