HTTPS
Print an HTTPS URL's content to the console. Checking the host certificate for validity is recommended.
You are encouraged to solve this task according to the task description, using any language you may know.
- Task
The client should not authenticate itself to the server — the webpage https://sourceforge.net/ supports that access policy — as that is the subject of other tasks.
Readers may wish to contrast with the HTTP Request task, and also the task on HTTPS request with authentication.
Ada
Exactly the same as the HTTP task, assuming you compiled AWS with openssl support. <lang ada> with AWS.Client; with AWS.Response; with Ada.Text_IO; use Ada.Text_IO; procedure GetHttps is begin
Put_Line (AWS.Response.Message_Body (AWS.Client.Get ( URL => "https://sourceforge.net/")));
end GetHttps; </lang>

This does not work for urls requiring a secure (SSL) connection.
Clojure
Using the duck-streams as a convenient wrapper for Java's networking classes, grabbing the contents of an HTTPS URL is as easy as:
<lang clojure> (use '[clojure.contrib.duck-streams :only (slurp*)]) (print (slurp* "https://sourceforge.net")) </lang>
The usual Java mechanisms can be used to manage acceptance of SSL certificates if required.
<lang clojure> (print (slurp "https://sourceforge.net")) </lang>
Common Lisp
First grabbing the entire body as a string, and then by pulling from a stream. This is the same code as in HTTP Request; drakma:http-request
supports SSL.
<lang lisp> (defun wget-drakma-string (url &optional (out *standard-output*))
"Grab the body as a string, and write it to out." (write-string (drakma:http-request url) out))
(defun wget-drakma-stream (url &optional (out *standard-output*))
"Grab the body as a stream, and write it to out." (loop with body = (drakma:http-request url :want-stream t) for line = (read-line body nil nil) while line do (write-line line) finally (close body)))
- Use
(wget-drakma-stream "https://sourceforge.net") </lang>

There is no such network library for communicating with a HTTPS server in fortran. Use appropriate tools (eg. simple node.js snippet) <lang fortran> program https_example
implicit none character (len=:), allocatable :: code character (len=:), allocatable :: command logical:: waitForProcess
! execute Node.js code code = "var https = require('https'); & https.get('https://sourceforge.net/', function(res) {& console.log('statusCode: ', res.statusCode);& console.log('Is authorized:' + res.socket.authorized);& console.log(res.socket.getPeerCertificate());& res.on('data', function(d) {process.stdout.write(d);});});"

LSL
Virtually identical to the HTTP Task.
To test it yourself; rez a box on the ground, and add the following as a New Script. <lang LSL>string sURL = "https://SourceForge.Net/"; key kHttpRequestId; default { state_entry() { kHttpRequestId = llHTTPRequest(sURL, [], ""); } http_response(key kRequestId, integer iStatus, list lMetaData, string sBody) { if(kRequestId==kHttpRequestId) { llOwnerSay("Status="+(string)iStatus); integer x = 0; for(x=0 ; x<llGetListLength(lMetaData) ; x++) { llOwnerSay("llList2String(lMetaData, "+(string)x+")="+llList2String(lMetaData, x)); } list lBody = llParseString2List(sBody, ["\n"], []); for(x=0 ; x<llGetListLength(lBody) ; x++) { llOwnerSay("llList2String(lBody, "+(string)x+")="+llList2String(lBody, x)); } } } }</lang> Output:

Nemerle
This example is essentially identical to the HTTP task because the WebClient object can be used with http:, https:, ftp: and file: uri's. <lang Nemerle>using System; using System.Console; using System.Net; using System.IO;

Perl
<lang perl> use strict; use LWP::UserAgent;
my $url = 'https://www.rosettacode.org'; my $response = LWP::UserAgent->new->get( $url );
$response->is_success or die "Failed to GET '$url': ", $response->status_line;
print $response->as_string; </lang>
Perl 6
There are several modules that provide HTTPS capability. WWW and HTTP::UserAgent are probably the most popular right now, but others exist.
<lang perl6>use WWW; say get 'https://sourceforge.net/';</lang> or <lang perl6>use HTTP::UserAgent; say HTTP::UserAgent.new.get('https://sourceforge.net/').content;</lang>
Phix
Exactly the same as the HTTP#Phix task. <lang Phix>include builtins\libcurl.e curl_global_init() atom curl = curl_easy_init() curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://sourceforge.net/") object res = curl_easy_perform_ex(curl) curl_easy_cleanup(curl) curl_global_cleanup()
puts(1,res)</lang>
PHP
<lang php> echo file_get_contents('https://sourceforge.net'); </lang>
PicoLisp
PicoLisp has no functionality for communicating with a HTTPS server (only for the other direction), but it is easy to use an external tool <lang PicoLisp> (in '(curl "https://sourceforge.net") # Open a pipe to 'curl'
(out NIL (echo)) ) # Echo to standard output
</lang>
Pike
<lang pike> int main() {
write("%s\n", Protocols.HTTP.get_url_data("https://sourceforge.net"));
} </lang>
PowerShell
<lang powershell> $wc = New-Object Net.WebClient $wc.DownloadString('https://sourceforge.net') </lang>
If the certificate could not be validated (untrusted, self-signed, expired), then an Exception is thrown with the message “The underlying connection was closed: Could not establish trust relationship for the SSL/TLS secure channel.” so certificate validation is done automatically by the method.
Python
Python's urllib.request library, (urllib2 in Python2.x) has support for SSL if the interpreter's underlying httplib libraries were compiled with SSL support. By default this will be the enabled for default Python installations on most platforms.
Python 3.x: <lang Python> from urllib.request import urlopen print(urlopen('https://sourceforge.net/').read()) </lang>
(Python 2.x) <lang Python> from urllib2 import urlopen print urlopen('https://sourceforge.net/').read() </lang>
R
The basic idea is to use getURL (as with HTTP_Request), but with some extra parameters. <lang R>library(RCurl) webpage <- getURL("https://sourceforge.net/", .opts=list(followlocation=TRUE, ssl.verifyhost=FALSE, ssl.verifypeer=FALSE))</lang> In this case, the webpage output contains unprocessed characters, e.g. \" instead of " and \\ instead of \, so we need to process the markup.
<lang R> wp <- readLines(tc <- textConnection(webpage)) close(tc) </lang>
Finally, we parse the HTML and find the interesting bit.
<lang R> pagetree <- htmlTreeParse(wp) pagetree$children$html </lang>

REALbasic
REALBasic provides an HTTPSecureSocket class for handling HTTPS connections. The 'Get' method of the HTTPSecureSocket is overloaded and can download data to a file or return data as a string, in both cases an optional timeout argument can be passed.
<lang REALbasic>
Dim sock As New HTTPSecureSocket Print(sock.Get("https://sourceforge.net", 10)) //set the timeout period to 10 seconds.

Ruby
This solution doesn't use the open-uri
convenience package that the HTTP Request#Ruby solution uses: the Net::HTTP
object must be told to use SSL before the session is started.
<lang ruby> require 'net/https' require 'uri' require 'pp'
uri = URI.parse('https://sourceforge.net') http = Net::HTTP.new(uri.host,uri.port) http.use_ssl = true http.verify_mode = OpenSSL::SSL::VERIFY_NONE
http.start do
content = http.get(uri) p [content.code, content.message] pp content.to_hash puts content.body
end </lang>

Tcl
Though Tcl's built-in http
package does not understand SSL, it does support the registration of external handlers to accommodate additional protocols. This allows the use of the Tls package to supply the missing functionality with only a single line to complete the registration.
<lang tcl> package require http package require tls
- Tell the http package what to do with “https:” URLs.
- First argument is the protocol name, second the default port, and
- third the connection builder command
http::register "https" 443 ::tls::socket
- Make a secure connection, which is almost identical to normal
- connections except for the different protocol in the URL.
set token [http::geturl "https://sourceforge.net/"]
- Now as for conventional use of the “http” package

Using the cURL library to do the heavy lifting: <lang zkl>zkl: var ZC=Import("zklCurl") zkl: var data=ZC().get("https://sourceforge.net") L(Data(36,265),826,0)</lang> get returns the text of the response along with two counts: the bytes of header in front of the html code and the byte count of stuff after the end of the page. So, if you wanted to look at the header:
zkl: data[0][0,data[1]).text HTTP/1.1 200 OK Server: nginx Date: Sun, 23 Mar 2014 07:36:51 GMT Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8 Connection: close ...
