HttpSendRequest error 12157

[Aaron Lawrence]

Hello,

Can someone at Microsoft tell us what is the CAUSE of error 12157 from
HttpSendRequest? I have searched quite a bit but nobody in public seems
to know.

I am getting it on Windows 2000 when Miranda IM tries to login to
Passport.

Thanks

Aaron,

If you search MSDN for WinInet Error Codes, you will find this page:
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa385465.aspx

This is ERROR_INTERNET_SECURITY_CHANNEL_ERROR "The application experienced
an internal error loading the SSL libraries". That doesn't sounds good :)

You can use search for *this* in Google Groups or the Internet in general. I
am sure you will find something of use.

You would think so, but no.

Anyway, eventually I figured out the cause: I had disabled SSL2.0 and
SSL3.0 in internet options - advanced tab - security group (for
troubleshooting other problems).

To Microsoft's credit, their MSN troubleshooter identified this.

Aaron,

Glad you figured it out.

I forgot to suggest that you try the same URL in Internet Explorer. Would
that have reproduced it? Then you could eliminate your code as a possible
cause.

Hi,

Any solution from microsoft to resolve this message
"ERROR_INTERNET_SECURITY_CHANNEL_ERROR"? I have enabled SSL 2.0 and SSL 3.0
but it still fails.

Thanks

I am not sure I can help, all I was really doing is defining the error code
for Aaron.

I would advise, however, that you try the same URL in Internet Explorer and
see what happens.

You might also notice something in the HTTP request or response that
provides a clue using the Fiddler tool:
