Hi,

I'm using Web Tool via ASP to determine if a user is logged into an SSL-encrypted site. Every time I check the results, the login page is what is returned, not the target file - even after the user has logged in. I'm new to HTTP calls and am not sure what steps to take next. 

I'm using the supplied ASP example code (httpcalls()), I've tried setting security to 63 (the most permissive) and need some guidance. Also, one thing I've noticed is that when I look at the header of the results, the session id keeps changing every time I refresh the page, which I suspect might be part of the problem?

Finally, I know that I've properly logged in when I'm getting these strange results because the Applet I'm using to do the download of the file that's encrypted is able to get the file once I've logged in. 

Any help would be appreciated!

Hi Bill,
The first thing I would do is setup a protocol sniffer to watch the communication between IE and the server. This will allow you to see what the requests IE sends look like.

You can then look at the communication between the control and the server, and see how they differ. For example, there may be a header that needs to be added to your requests.

With this knowledge, it should be much easier to figure out what you need to do with the control to get the needed document.
