SSL Error

[Chris Wiederspan]

As of about 4:00 AM (Mountain time), all of my scripts across multiple accounts and clients are failing with the error "SSL Error". My scripts download a spreadsheet file via SSL, so I know that's where the error is occurring  However, my SSL certificates seem to be fine and nothing else has changed. If I change my script to use HTTP instead of HTTPS, everything starts working again. Could there be a problem on the Google side of things?

Hi Chris,

  It looks like UrlFetchApp does SSL validation by default.

https://developers.google.com/apps-script/class_urlfetchapp#fetch

The validateHttpsCertificates advanced arguments field can be set to false to disable these checks.  Can you try this?  I'd doublecheck the SSL cert - it's possible that your browser is OK with accepting it but the UrlFetchApp code is more stringent (SSL certs were a problem in my previous live as a java server developer).
