HTTP_GET with https in 4.6C

Question

Hi,
I was using the function module HTTP_GET for http requests and everything was working well.
Now we are switching the server to https and I have no idea how to retrieve the data from the server.
I have used the transaction STRUST to assign the matching certificate, but the function HTTP_GET still brings no result. SECULIB is installed.
Is https possible in 4.6C anyway?
Any help will be gratefully taken.

Hi,
Your code has some problems.
1. HTTP Request closed 1st line. Server wait and get data while "\n\n" come.
2. Authorization user name and password string must be encode base64.
You can read as reference :
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basic_access_authentication
here is a sample request:
var request = "GET /autharea/index.html HTTP/1.1\n"
                + "Host: (serverName)\n"
                + "Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8\n"
                + "Authorization: Basic "+ encodedData +"\n\n";
and working code with base64 function
var authStr = "username:password";
var encodedData = base64(authStr );
var reply = "";
var conn = new Socket;
var request = "GET /autharea/index.html HTTP/1.1\n"
                + "Host: (serverName)\n"
                + "Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8\n"
                + "Authorization: Basic "+ encodedData +"\n\n";
if (conn.open ("130.1.6.46:80","UTF-8")) {
    conn.write (request);
    reply = conn.read(999999);
    conn.close();
    alert(reply);
function base64(binaryString) {
    var keyStr = "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789+/=";
    var encoded = "";
    var c1, c2, c3;
    var e1, e2, e3, e4;
    var i = 0;
    while(i < binaryString.length) {
        c1 = binaryString.charCodeAt(i++);
        c2 = binaryString.charCodeAt(i++);
        c3 = binaryString.charCodeAt(i++);
        e1 = c1 >> 2;
        e2 = ((c1 & 3) << 4) | (c2 >> 4);
        e3 = ((c2 & 15) << 2) | (c3 >> 6);
        e4 = c3 & 63;
        if (isNaN(c2)) {
            e3 = e4 = 64;
            } else if (isNaN(c3)) {
                e4 = 64;
        encoded = encoded + keyStr.charAt(e1) + keyStr.charAt(e2) +
            keyStr.charAt(e3) + keyStr.charAt(e4);
    return encoded;
