HTTPS problem

Hi,
I am developing a channel.But i have some api calls from my developing engine.Since all calls are HTTPS i am not able to retrieve the response because of the presence of HTTPS instead of HTTP.What is the remedy for this.Is it the certificate problem.If so , should the client provide the certificate?

    If you can authenticate to your server via https with a web browser you should be able to do it with a roku:

    use ifHTTPAgent:
    InitClientCertificates() as Boolean
    SetCertificatesFile(path as String) as Boolean
    SetCertificatesDepth(depth as Integer) as Void

    which is an interface available in roURLTransfer.

    Just last week we had discussion like that, see if it helps viewtopic.php?f=34&t=71686&p=448105#p448105
    Apparently you have to always manually add certificate chain, due to some space oddity player does not use the default certificate that is already included. Maybe someone will explain why, or maybe they will fix this in future release.
