Windows 8.1, Windows Server 2012 R2, Windows 10, Windows Server 2016, and later versions of Windows natively support TLS 1.2 for client-server communications over WinHTTP.
Earlier versions of Windows, such as Windows 7 or Windows Server 2012, don't enable TLS 1.1 or TLS 1.2 by default for secure communications using WinHTTP. For these earlier versions of Windows, install Update 3140245 to enable the registry value below, which can be set to add TLS 1.1 and TLS 1.2 to the default secure protocols list for WinHTTP. With the patch installed, create the following registry values:

To disable caching use MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP

@malcev, thanks for the links!
The problem is that we can't control what OS our users have (in sense we can't make them to upgrade or update/patch their Windows), but to some degree we can control and use workarounds for some drawbacks of Msxml2.XMLHTTP.
I mean maybe we shouldn't replace WinHttp.WinHttpRequest.5.1 with Msxml2.XMLHTTP, but we should add the latter (or maybe mentioned MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP) too to use in those cases when we distribute the script and we can overcome its drawbacks.

If You use proxy it does not help You.
amateur+, It depends on Your needs.
For example if You need to change tls version of connection in winhttprequest object, You can set option property, but to do the same with MSXML2 You need to change tls in registry or try to change ie advanced settings.

How can we set that property for TLS 1.1 or 1.2?

Я в этом всём вообще ничего не понимаю, если честно, не обижайся, если вопросы тупые.

Code: Select all

HTTP := ComObjCreate("WinHttp.WinHttpRequest.5.1")
HTTP.Option(9) := 0x80   ; TLS 1.0

Does enumeration starts with 0?
And if we need TLS 1.2, is it sufficient?

Yes.

And if we need TLS 1.2, is it sufficient?

No. I already wrote how to add support for tls 1.2 on win7.

Ok, thanks a lot!
