I don't have time right now to pick apart
the code, but I'd be happy to send it to you
or clean it up later.
The calls are very simple, but there are a few
things to know. I ended up writing a function to
return error strings, which is handy. I also
have a function for setting options. There are
some details to know there. For instance, XP
doesn't support higher than TLS 1.0:
Private Sub TLSSetOptions(AllowSecurityErrors As Boolean)
On Error Resume Next
With WHR
.SetRequestHeader "Accept-Encoding", "gzip"
.SetRequestHeader "Host", sDefServer
.SetRequestHeader "User-Agent", UAgent
.Option(WinHttpRequestOption_UserAgentString) = UAgent 'useragent
If AllowSecurityErrors = False Then
.Option(WinHttpRequestOption_SslErrorIgnoreFlags) = OptErrIgnore
'ignore ssl errors
Else
.Option(WinHttpRequestOption_SslErrorIgnoreFlags) = OptErrDontIgnore
'don't ignore ssl errors
End If
.Option(WinHttpRequestOption_SecureProtocols) = OptTLS1_0 ' use TLS
1.0. 1.1 and 1.2 cause error in XP.
.Option(WinHttpRequestOption_EnablePassportAuthentication) = False
'block passport auth
.Option(WinHttpRequestOption_EnableCertificateRevocationCheck) = False
' block check of revoked certificate
End With
End Sub
The calling code is slightly enmeshed so I can't reprint
it here, but it's simple. I used it in this (link below), after
giving up on trying to do encryption from scratch over
winsock. It's far simpler than winsock, and I've found it
very dependable. There isn't quite so much control as
there is with winsock, but more than you get with
wininet:

There was a discussion in the VB6 group at the time I
was working out this code.
I probably had the usual argument with Arne about how
he thought I was doing everything wrong and I thought
he was out to lunch and avoiding being helpful. :)
But those arguments at least have the benefit of airing
out the issues.
