Greetings.
I'm developing a Delphi 7 application that runs as a service in Windows
environment.
The application downloads file from a given URL.
The application is able to download the file from a URL under these
following conditions:
* service runs as a user, able to download from URLs with these prefix:
http:// and https://
* service runs as system account, able to download from URLs with the prefix
http://, **but not** with https://
I really need the application to download from https:// as a system account
(due to the need of interactive logon feature).
I've tried downloading the URL using:
* the manual way through InternetOpen(), InternetOpenURL(),
InternetReadFile() and InternetCloseHandle()
* using the inbuilt class such as: TDownLoadURL
both results in the same manner: unable to download files from https://
(when loading the service as system account / Local System)
when using the manual download, i was able to trap the following extended
error code through GetLastError():
ERROR_INTERNET_LOGIN_FAILURE
12015
The request to connect and log on to an FTP server failed.
Does anybody have experiences with this ?
Is there any Access Control that I need to grant to the Local System Account
?
Is there any component that specialize in https downloading ?
