HTTP Request Problem

[Nurudeen Amedu]

I coded a HTTP request to get news figures from a webpage

it works properly and keeps updating for some time but when i leave it on my VPS over night, it stops updating the next day

until i place it on chart again then it updates

what could be the cause of this

Did you use wininet.dll or built-in WebRequest function???.  I experienced the same problem on my VPS using a wininet wrapper library (while it was working fine on my personal PC with the same code), and I fixed it by using WebRequest function.

It was something related to managing port change to ssl on the website (from port 80 to port 443). WebRequest contemplates both cases and it works perfectly.

I hope it helps you. Regards.
