How to communicate over HTTPS using VFP


Background: I was asked to create a 'middle man' web service for a program written in Visual Fox Pro(VFP) as VFP is not able to communicate over HTTPS, only HTTP. This VFP program must communicate with a different web service, so my web service must just edit the XML file to be HTTPS 'compliant'.

I have never worked with web services before this, but have written a few basic web services to learn about them. I now need to understand what I have to do to the regular XML file to make it 'compliant' with HTTPS and not just HTTP. I apologise if my jargon is off as I am still finding my way around web services.


Solution

  • VFP can send HTTPS requests using West Wind Internet & Client Tools for Visual FoxPro
