The request was aborted: Could not create SSL/TLS secure channel
asp.net, c#, httpwebrequest, ssl
Solution
I enabled logging using this code:
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/dgorti/archive/2005/09/18/471003.aspx
The log was in the bin/debug folder (I was in Debug mode for my console app). You need to add the security protocol type as SSL 3
I received an algorithm mismatch in the log. Here is my new code:
// You must change the URL to point to your Web server.
HttpWebRequest req = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(url);
req.Method = "GET";
ServicePointManager.SecurityProtocol = SecurityProtocolType.Ssl3;
// Skip validation of SSL/TLS certificate
ServicePointManager.ServerCertificateValidationCallback = delegate { return true; };
WebResponse respon = req.GetResponse();
Stream res = respon.GetResponseStream();
string ret = "";
byte[] buffer = new byte[1048];
int read = 0;
while ((read = res.Read(buffer, 0, buffer.Length)) > 0)
{
Console.Write(Encoding.ASCII.GetString(buffer, 0, read));
ret += Encoding.ASCII.GetString(buffer, 0, read);
}
return ret;
Problem
My customer has informed my of issues with their SSL and Internet Explorer. They said they get trust issues when accessing the URL. I am accessing JSON through HTTPS. The website sits on one server and I am using the console app on my local machine. I am trying to bypass the SSL Cert, however, my code still fails. Can I alter HttpWebRequest to fix this problem? I get this error using this code: ``` // You must change the URL to point to your Web server. HttpWebRequest req = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(url); req.Method = "GET"; req.AllowAutoRedirect = true; // allows for validation of SSL conversations ServicePointManager.ServerCertificateValidationCallback = delegate { return true; }; WebResponse respon = req.GetResponse(); Stream res = respon.GetResponseStream(); string ret = ""; byte[] buffer = new byte[1048]; int read = 0; while ((read = res.Read(buffer, 0, buffer.Length)) > 0) { //Console.Write(Encoding.ASCII.GetString(buffer, 0, read)); ret += Encoding.ASCII.GetString(buffer, 0, read); } return ret; ``` The request was aborted: Could not create SSL/TLS secure channel
