Cannot connect using https / msxml3.dll error '80072f8f' A security error occurred
Hello Everyone,
So I am a little perplexed. I have an ASP site running on Win2003 / IIS6. The ASP site makes an https connection to a WebMethods middle tier to transfer data. The code has been working for over a year and over the weekend something happened and how I am getting an error. I wrote an diagnostic program to see what was going on and I seem to be getting the following error:
msxml3.dll error '80072f8f'
A security error occurred
Can anyone please tell me why I am getting this error and What I need to do to fix it? The server is managed by a third party, I am just develop the code. the code seems to work when I use http but not https. So its definitely something with the exchange of the digital certificates.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Thank you for the feedback. The application has been working for over a year. I am also using MSXML2.ServerHTTP. So I am not sure this is applicable.

It could be possible the error arrived due recently windows update on the Server. you should check the url
ASKER
The URL is correct. Any other ideas?
Do you specify the port number in URL? Any chances that it was changed recently?
ASKER
The URL does have the port number but has not changed. Thanks.
