HTTPS, VISTA, IE7
I can't seem to get a connection at all to any HTTPS website. Is there anyone else having trouble scraping ANY HTTPS page? I am running a Vista Ultimate with IE7 and SS 4.0. I used to be able to access HTTPS sites with SS 2.7.2. SS 4.0 is just saying there is an error nothing else. I've tried connecting to a variety of site and I have the same problem.
My settings in IE7 are to point to my IP address port 8777.
Thanks,

Hi Scott,
Luckily I don't have to pay for anything, this is a company system! I have another notebook here with XP and moved my SS licensing over to it and have been testing with that.
Thanks anyway,

stvyrayvhn,
Well, you're on to something. We'll log it as a bug and look in to it when we get a chance. It's possible that we won't be able to change how IE7 responds to screen-scraper's HTTP request over the SSL socket such that it's cool with screen-scraper's involvement.
In the mean time, you'll be grateful you payed the extra $'s for Vista Ultimate but at the same time disappointed that you may have to pay for the pleasure...

It could take some time before we find a solution, so please call your senator, er, look for other options in the mean time.

Hi Scott,
I meant to tell that I've tried that but I didn't want to keep sending posts out to the forum. I've tried localhost, 127.0.0.1, and 192.168.1.15 (my computer IP). Also, every time I made the change I would shutdown all sessions of IE and restart. My version of Vista is fully patched.
I'm starting to think about getting a service pack for Vista called XP if this keeps up...
Thanks,

stvyrayvhn,
Before firing up our test instance of Vista which we keep neatly caged in a VMWare instance on a Linux box I would suggest that you try the following in place of your IP address for the proxy settings in IE7.
127.0.0.1
If this doesn't do the trick then I'll uncage the beast.

Can this help anyone?
Received an HTTPS request.
Wrote 200 OK back to the client...

Error layering SSL over the existing socket.

Ok, I've narrowed it down to being a IE7/Vista only issue. I just tested this on an XP machine and I could connect to any HTTPS site.
As another site note: On the Vista machine I am able to connect to an HTTPS site using Firefox (my preferred browser). The problem is that I want to view what's being sent through the proxy server from an application that I wrote in VB.Net. The problem with is that the HTTPWebRequest and HTTPWebResponse methods built into .Net utilize whatever version of IE you are using and it's settings.
