Wininet error 12057

[Camilo Torres]

Hello,

I'm receiving the following HTTP Error code in my dll wich is using WinInet
to connect
to a SSL site using my propietary certificate authority created using
Microsoft Certificate Services.

The client machine is a Windows XP with the certificate for my Certificate
Authority correctly
installed. My client is able to connect to the site using HTTPS with a
browser, but not through
my application, currrently 200 clients are working fine, but only this XP
machine and some few
Windows 98 are raising this error. The application is also running in other
XP and 98 machines.

I've restarted the IIS and Certificate Services on my server and try to
connect without luck.

Any suggestions?

ERROR_WINHTTP_SECURE_CERT_REV_FAILED
12057
Indicates that revocation could not be checked because the revocation server
was offline (equivalent to CRYPT_E_REVOCATION_OFFLINE).

Hello
You can handle this error in your code by setting the security flags. Take
a look at the following article.
182888 HOWTO: Handle Invalid Certificate Authority Error with WinInet
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=182888

You will need to add the SECURITY_FLAG_IGNORE_REVOCATION
Ignores certificate revocation problems flag.

Thanks
