Re: Certificate Policy to accept all - Not Working

#1

ServicePointManager refers to .NET code that uses the classes in System.Net
such as HttpWebRequest to access the internet. It does not apply to
anything else on the machine.

Sorry, but I have no idea what the axwebbrowser is or how it works.

If it uses WinInet under the hood, then it is almost certainly possible for
it to behave this way, but that doesn't mean you can get it to.

Good luck,

thanks for you help.

Well, I have changed it up a bit.

I have an aspx page that the axwebbrowser(activeX object)
navigates to. I did this since the webbrowser won't ever
be able to see the Certificate Policy.

I have implemented the Certificate Policy in my aspx page
and I know that I have to use .Net classes/methods. My
problem is that the WebRequest/HttpWebRequest and
WebResponse/HttpWebResponse classes allow access to the
web sites (overriding the certificate policy), but I have
only been able to determine that I can save the file or
access it's data and display the data on my aspx page.
This looks great but the controls on the page I am
accessing don't work since this isn't a link to the page
rather a copy of the html on the page. Is it possible to
link to the website?

Thanks.
