Your code works fine from my Windows 7 machine:

Just for info.

 

I realized in my private AU3 projects that on Win7 doesn't work HTTP communication with some (HTTPS) web servers

using (previously non-problematic) COM object "winhttp.winhttprequest.5.1".

On Win7 it works again after changing/replacing to compatible COM object "Msxml2.XMLHTTP.6.0".

 

Change must be done just in ObjCreate(), other properties and methods of that COM object are the same/compatible.

 

Reason why it now doesn't work is due to newer version of used TLS encryption (used by some web servers)

which is in some cases implicitly disabled on Win7 and can be enabled by registry hacks or by installing Win KB fixes.

In some cases even these hacks doesn't help on some stations as far as I know  ...

Does this mean it wont work on windows 7 unless is http:// not https://

If does can you provide an example for me please.

Thanks,

What is the return code for the non-working InetGetSize call?
Have you considered testing for a non-zero one each and every time you call it?
