Hi Richard,
mostly I use Windows 7 (for my workstation), Windows XP (when using C6) and windows server 2008 R2 for deployment.
For development I spend most of my time in C8 - although I still use C5.5 for the examples.
None of which matters to your problem I think.
If you are getting a JavaScript error, then it looks like the connection is succeeding. Which means you copied the SSL DLL's to your app folder? you didn't mention that specifically, so worth checking.
If you run it in Firefox, with Firebug (
www.getfirebug.com) and you open the console window - what error is mentioned there?
Try setting the options on the WebServer procedure, Advanced tab "compressed and combined" off and see if that makes any difference.
Also turn off "suppress errors" and see if that makes a difference?
All the above are "debug" suggestions - not solutions - so if you find anything out let me know.
cheers
Bruce
