Downloading a secure page

Hi,

Let me start by saying how great and useful the Indy components are.

We're using the version of Indy10 that came packaged with Delphi2005.

I'm trying to download a secure page.

The basic code is as follows:

***
httpReader := TIdHTTP.Create(nil)

url := 'https://www.webpage.com/research/snapshot.asp?signal=ASP'

page := httpReader.Get(url);
***

The error I'm getting is:
...EidIOHandlerPropInvalid ... 'IOHandler value is not valid'.


It was pointed out that for a secure page you need the
IdSSLIOHandlerSocketOpenSSL component.  I installed that and have the
TIdHTTP IOHandler property set to it.

Still get the same error message.  Do the IdSSLIOHandlerSocketOpenSSL
properties need to be set.  I'm having a tough time finding details from
the available documentation, forums, indyproject.org, etc.

In other posts the need for special dlls have been mentioned;
downloading OpenSSL, and other things.

Is having the latest version of Indy10 important here?

Any guidance - much appreciated.

Thanks,
Barry
