Using MSSoap with VB6 and HTTPS


Question

I am trying to get my VB6 application to interact with a webservice using MSSOAP. My problem occures when i have to change the URL of the webservice to HTTPS. It works fine when i use HTTP but once the application goes to the Production server it will need to be HTTPS. Below is the structure of my code and i notice that the problem occures when i go to pass my parameters to the webservice i get an error, I have also placed the text from the error below my code. Can anyone Help? Thanks.


Dim pstrWebservice As New SoapClient30
Dim pstrResponse As String

Set pstrWebservice = CreateObject("MSSOAP.SoapClient30")

pstrWebservice.MSSoapInit "https://Server-Name/Root-Folder/file.cfc?wsdl"

pstrResponse = (pstrWebservice.webservice(Param1, Param2, Param3, Param4)
[/CODE]

[CODE]
Run-time error '-2147467259(80004005):

Attachment:Maximum retry on the connection exceeded. HRESULT=0x80004005: Unspecified error
-Client:An unanticipated error occured during the processing of this request. HRESULT=0x80004005: Unspecified error
-Client:Sending the Soap message failed or no recognizable response was received HRESULT=0x80004005: Unspecified error
-Client:Unspecified client error. HRESULT=0x80004005: Unspecified
[/CODE]

This may sound daft and doesn't answer your question but why the need to use VB6?

GE

I inheritad the application from another developer, The VB application currently retreives information from an access database, but access database is in the process of being replaced with a coldfusion application and the VB6 application still needs to have connectivity. VB6 is not my first choice for doing this but i don't have any other options untill the VB application is converted to coldfusion.

    • Store should be a shrine of useful applications, vetted and verified. Easily sorted by publisher. Windows should start with not much installed and have things as options in the store. Not the wild west mess that it is. You could delete 95%+ of the crap on there and no one would notice. They need to add a better UI to the updates, it's awful right now.
    • Obsidian 1.9.2 brings breaking changes, UI improvements and several bug fixes by David Uzondu Obsidian 1.9.2 (Desktop) is now live, bringing some significant updates, especially if you have been using the Bases feature. If you're not familiar with Markdown, it's a simple way to write formatted text using a plain text editor; Obsidian is a free editor that lets you create and link notes using Markdown files stored right on your own computer. Obsidian is free to use, but if you support the project with a Catalyst license, you get access to early builds. Version 1.9.2 is in Early Access right now, so you'll need a Catalyst license to try it out This new version introduces some major breaking changes to Bases, so you'll want to pay attention here. The developers have overhauled the formula syntax and the .base file format itself. If you're using Obsidian Sync or sharing your vault across multiple devices, the team strongly recommends upgrading all your devices at the same time to dodge any annoying sync issues with files using different syntaxes. The new formula syntax in Bases is designed to be more flexible and easier to use, and it should feel familiar if you code in JavaScript. For instance, functions are now object-oriented; instead of writing contains(file.name, "Books"), you would now use file.name.contains("Booksou can also chain functions together, like property.split(' ').sort()[0].lower(). Other highlights include: Property names are no longer wrapped in backticks (`). Instead, to reference properties with spaces or special characters, the syntax is note["Property Name"] There is a new type system which provides greater control when writing formulas. New functions, such as link, date and list for converting a value to a different type. New file properties: file.path, file.links (a list of all internal links in this file), and file.tags (a list of all tags in this file, including frontmatter). Some functions have been replaced by comparison operators. For example, dateBefore(date1, date2) is now date1 < date2. Date modifications are now much simpler. Instead of dateModify(date, string), you can use date + string, for example, date("01/01/2025") + "1 year" For those wondering, the Bases feature was introduced back in Obsidian 1.9.0 as a way to turn notes into structured databases. You can learn more about the updated syntax here. Alongside these syntax changes, the .base file format has been updated for better extensibility, including a new properties section for configurations like displayName. There are some smaller improvements too, like Bases now showing the number of results in the current view and the operator dropdown for filters becoming searchable. Outside of Bases, the update brings fixes for the following: Tags view: Fixed "Show nested tags" showing the full tag name (e.g. #parent/child) File explorer: Fixed "Move folder to..." menu item not showing in context menu. Bases: Fixed view not closing after deleting the file. Bases: Fixed codeblock not rendering when "Indent with tabs" is enabled. On a related note, the creator of Markdown, John Gruber, recently shared his thoughts on rumors about Apple Notes potentially adding Markdown export. While he had reservations about Apple Notes becoming a full-blown Markdown editor, he seemed to think an export option would be useful. If the rumors are true, users will be able to easily export notes from Apple Notes and edit them in editors like Obsidian.
