POST a form over HTTPS with unvalidated SSL Certificate
I need to POST a form over HTTPS to a server with an unvalidated SSL certificate. This code works over HTTP:
void PostForm () {
WWWForm form = new WWWForm();
form.AddField( "variable1", 123 );
WWW postRequest = new WWW( "http://192.168.1.2/post", form );
}
When I switch url to "https://..." , it doesn't work because the SSL certificate is not trusted. My guess is I would need to allow all certificates, but I don't know how.
I found this answer, which accepts all sertificates, and after pasting the code and including IO, Net, Net.Security, and Security.Cryptography imports I was able to receive a GET request through HTTPS. How do I POST a form with this method?
using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
using System.IO;
using System.Net;
using System.Net.Security;
using System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates;
public class POST_Form : MonoBehaviour {
IEnumerator Start ()
{
ServicePointManager.ServerCertificateValidationCallback = TrustCertificate;
HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest) WebRequest.Create( "https://192.168.1.2/post" );
HttpWebResponse response = (HttpWebResponse) request.GetResponse();
Stream dataStream = response.GetResponseStream ();
StreamReader reader = new StreamReader (dataStream);
string responseFromServer = reader.ReadToEnd ();
Debug.Log ("responseFromServer=" + responseFromServer );
yield return 0;
}

private static bool TrustCertificate(object sender, X509Certificate x509Certificate, X509Chain x509Chain, SslPolicyErrors sslPolicyErrors)
{
// all Certificates are accepted
return true;
}
}
I'm not skillful in HTTP code and have no idea what these functions do (no good with vocab, either). Please provide a complete script which I can test.
Thank you.
something like:
HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create("https://yoururl.com");
request.ContentType = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded";
request.Method = "POST";
NameValueCollection nvc = new NameValueCollection();
nvc.Add("PlayerName", "TommyTwoKills");
nvc.Add("pId", "203984089sdlkfj-sdf9");
StringBuilder postVars = new StringBuilder();
foreach(string key in nvc)
postVars.AppendFormat("{0}={1}&", key, nvc[key]);
postVars.Length -= 1; // clip off the remaining &
using (var streamWriter = new StreamWriter(request.GetRequestStream()))
streamWriter.Write(postVars.ToString());
Followed by your GetRequesStream business.
Thank you, I finally figured it out. Here's the complete script:
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.UI;
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Specialized;
using System.Text;
using System.IO;
using System.Net;
using System.Net.Security;
using System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates;
using UnityStandardAssets.CrossPlatformInput;
public class POST_Form : $$anonymous$$onoBehaviour {
void Update() {
if (CrossPlatformInput$$anonymous$$anager.GetButtonDown("Connect")){
PostForm ("https://192.168.1.2/post");
}
}
void PostForm (string url) {
ServicePoint$$anonymous$$anager.ServerCertificateValidationCallback = TrustCertificate;
HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(url);
request.ContentType = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded";
request.$$anonymous$$ethod = "POST";
NameValueCollection nvc = new NameValueCollection();
nvc.Add("variable1", "123");
nvc.Add("variable2", "this");
StringBuilder postVars = new StringBuilder();
foreach(string key in nvc)
postVars.AppendFormat("{0}={1}&", key, nvc[key]);
postVars.Length -= 1; // clip off the remaining &
//This
using (var streamWriter = new StreamWriter(request.GetRequestStream()))
streamWriter.Write(postVars.ToString());
//Or this works
/*var streamWriter = new StreamWriter (request.GetRequestStream ());
streamWriter.Write (postVars.ToString());
streamWriter.Close();*/
}
private static bool TrustCertificate(object sender, X509Certificate x509Certificate, X509Chain x509Chain, SslPolicyErrors sslPolicyErrors) {
// all Certificates are accepted
return true;
}
}
But how to get response from the https url??
I haven't touched on this topic for a year now and don't remember anything. Take a look at my completed project's files with "HTTPS" in the name, maybe you'll find what you're looking for =)
Edit: looks like I haven't figured that out either...
Hi guys I would need some help if you can, I tried to enter the lines that you have commented, but it remains the error on HTTPS.... Do you have any suggestion? Thank you very very much

Yeah, I'm definitely not the one to ask. Idk, maybe you can wait around for someone more knowledgeable to stumble upon your question, but I would recommend making a separate thread that will go on top of the recent questions list.
