Hello,

I spent all the day trying to figure out this problem but with no result. Perhaps it is not U++ related.
So far with the following code

    String url = "some_valid_url";
    HttpRequest r(url);
    r.KeepAlive(true);
	String content = r.Execute();
	if(r.IsFailure())
	{ Exclamation("error");
	  r.Close();
	  return;
	}
    r.Close();
    Exclamation(content);

I was able to get the content of the site at the given url. Now if I use

url = "http://www.vegaresult.com/vr/index.php";

or

url = "https://www.vegaresult.com/vr/index.php";

HttpRequest give an error (IsFailure()=true)
However if I paste the url in the browser I can see the site.
That site has a HTTPS protocol and configured as VirtualHost in Apache.
I wonder why HttpRequest is not able to see the site. Could it depend by the server that is in someway badly configured?

Thanks a lot for any answer!
Luigi
