Rob,<br><br>You'd need to start ssl too for HTTPS.<br><br>Regards,<br>Ferenc<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2009/3/17 Rob Charlton <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:rob.charlton@savageminds.com">rob.charlton@savageminds.com</a>></span><br>
<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">I have been using Erlang R11B for some time, but thought it was about<br>
time I moved up to R12B, so I pulled down the latest today and built it.<br>
<br>
Afterwards, I found that I could no longer make HTTPS requests:<br>
<br>
rob@server:~/work/erlang/svn/erlang/lcr$ erl<br>
Erlang (BEAM) emulator version 5.6.5 [source] [async-threads:0] [hipe]<br>
[kernel-poll:false]<br>
<br>
Eshell V5.6.5 (abort with ^G)<br>
1> inets:start().<br>
ok<br>
2> http:request("<a href="https://www.cia.gov/" target="_blank">https://www.cia.gov/</a>").<br>
<br>
The shell is now unresponsive and I have to do a CTRL C to get it back.<br>
<br>
I noticed that I had to now explicitly start inets (which used to start<br>
automatically) because an error message appeared when I did an http<br>
request without it started. What I didn't realise was that I also had to<br>
explicitly start the ssl application. I managed to work this out by<br>
using tracing on the http call. It won't catch me again, but will<br>
probably catch someone else. Would it be possible to make it do<br>
something more friendly than just hang?<br>
