Hi.

I am trying to use a web-based SMS service that requires HTTPS. I have the
following code:

CURL *curlHandle = curl_easy_init();
curl_easy_setopt(curlHandle, CURLOPT_USERPWD, "<user>:<password>");
curl_easy_setopt(curlHandle, CURLOPT_HTTPAUTH, CURLAUTH_ANYSAFE);
curl_easy_setopt(curlHandle, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, "libcurl-agent/7.13.2");
curl_easy_setopt(curlHandle, CURLOPT_URL,
"https://sms-1.quinsy.net:8100/callfact.asp?numbers=<some
number>&body=<some text>");
curl_easy_perform(curlHandle);

When I run this I get the following from curl using the CURLOPT_VERBOSE
option:

* About to connect() to sms-1.quinsy.net port 8100
* Trying 195.86.90.72... * connected
* Connected to sms-1.quinsy.net (195.86.90.72) port 8100
* successfully set certificate verify locations:

> GET /callfact.asp?numbers=<some number>&body=<some text> HTTP/1.1
User-Agent: libcurl-agent/7.13.2
Host: sms-1.quinsy.net:8100
Pragma: no-cache
Accept: */*

< HTTP/1.1 401 Access Denied
< Server: Microsoft-IIS/5.0
< Date: Thu, 05 May 2005 11:47:27 GMT
< WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm="sms-1.quinsy.net"
< Connection: close
< Content-Length: 4431
< Content-Type: text/html

The actual web-page I receive is basically saying I cannot access the
resource. Obviously I put proper values in for <user>, <password>, <some
number>, and <some text>.

However, if I try the same URL (cut and paste it) in a web browser, with
the same username and password, it works and I get back the response I was
expecting. I can see that the server's certificate is being accepted by
curl okay but I don't know much about SSL at all really so any help would
be appreciated.

Cheers,

Terry Stebens
