Andre,

Thank you so much for your response. I'm afraid I was a little unclear as to my intentions. I am implementing altBrowser into one of my projects, and unfortunately, altBrowser does not return whether IE knows if the server is secure. I'm looking for a way of determining this within Revolution so I can display that on the screen.

I don't know much about the workings of altBrowser, but one possible (and clunky) way would be to check the url from Rev first before having altBrowser display the page.

put "https://whatever.com/path"; into tTestUrl
get url tTestUrl
if the result <> empty then
  ## no good
else
  ## OK so ask altBrowser to display the url
end if

Or, probably quicker, use the "open secure socket" command to just the server:

 open secure socket to "whatever.com" with message "openedOK"

on openedOK pSocket
  close socket pSocket
  ## ask altBroswer to display the url
end openedOK

on socketError pSocket, pErrString
  ## no good
end socketError

One problem is that a failure to get the url or open the socket doesn't necessarily mean the certificate is not secure. You'd have to examine either "the result" from the url call, or pErrString in the socketError handler to be sure.

I haven't tried either approach, so be sure to confirm that they do what you want before trusting in them.

Cheers
Dave
