OWC10 won't work over HTTPS

R

redec

I have a CGI which I have written that generates an XML file for OWC.....I'm
calling it like so:
dataSourceControl.RecordsetDefs.AddNew("mycgi.exe?whateverargs",
dataSourceControl.Constants.dscCommandFile, name);

it works perfectly when accessing through http, but if I try making it
secure I get 'A runtime error has occured, Error opening data file' (errno
0x800C0008). If I make it point to a static XML file instead of a CGI then
it works fine in both http and https. If I manually hit the CGI URL through
a browser it works fine through both HTTP and HTTPS, and the content comes
out identical both ways...

Does anyone have any ideas of what might be going wrong? Is there any way I
can get a more detailed error message than 'Error opening data file' or any
info on error 0x800C0008?

OWC 10 on IE 6.0
Client and Server are Win2K Server SP4
IIS 5.0

Any help is appreciated, thanks

You may want to check to see if the browser has caching turned on,
which is off by default for secure connections.
