WinHttpRequest issue

Post by Youri11 » 06 Dec 2023, 09:19

Hello,

When I run the following code picked from AHK documentation examples :

Code: Select all

whr := ComObjCreate("WinHttp.WinHttpRequest.5.1")
whr.Open("GET", "https://www.autohotkey.com/download/1.1/version.txt", true)
whr.Send()
; Using 'true' above and the call below allows the script to remain responsive.
whr.WaitForResponse()
version := whr.ResponseText
MsgBox % version
I get the following error :
Error: 0x80072F7D -
Source: WinHttp.WinHttpRequest
Description: Une erreur s’est produite lors de la connexion sécurisée


HelpFile: (null)
HelpContext: 0

Specifically: WaitForResponse

Line#
001: whr := ComObjCreate("WinHttp.WinHttpRequest.5.1")
002: whr.Open("GET", "https://www.autohotkey.com/download/1.1/version.txt", true)
003: whr.Send()
---> 005: whr.WaitForResponse()
006: version := whr.ResponseText
007: MsgBox,version
008: Exit
009: Exit
009: Exit
What is the problem ? Do you have the same error when you run this code ?
Thank you for any help.

Works here.
Perhaps a firewall or antivirus is intervening...

Thank you for your test and your suggestions. Now I know it is likely an issue with my system and not an outdated code.
I've just tried with my firewall disabled and it does not make any difference unfortunately.

Thank you for your suggestion.
Same issue and same error with this alternate response method unfortunately.

Thank you!! This one works!

Code: Select all

Tegucigalpazat 16:43
After trying, all previous examples also work with the url https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/.

This one and all others fail with https://autohotkey.com/download/1.1/version.txt.

Now I get the issue is with https://autohotkey.com/download/1.1/version.txt

Thank you Garry.

First example is interesting as unless others, it runs without error message.
The GUI informs me that "Navigation to the webpage was canceled".

Second has the same issue as every others :

Code: Select all

Error:  0x80072F7D - 
Source:		WinHttp.WinHttpRequest
Description:	Une erreur s’est produite lors de la connexion sécurisée


HelpFile:		(null)

	036: Run,https://autohotkey.com/download/
	037: Return
	038: }
	039: Return
	042: {
	044: WHR.Open("GET", url, true)  
	045: WHR.Send()  
--->	046: WHR.WaitForResponse()  
	048: if (Filename ~= "^\s*$")  
	048: {
	049: Try
	049: {
	050: RegExMatch( WHR.GetResponseHeader("Content-Disposition"), "filename=\K.+", Filename )  
	051: }
	051: Catch
I also know now that I face the same error for any pages on autohotkey.com domain, and could face the same for some other domains I tried.

My conclusion is that the WinHttpRequest works and the issue come from my system. I will not rely on this autohotkey feature for now.

Thank you all for your help and examples, this was instructive.

All the best to you.
