Problem When using the WinC http client (e.g. from the SOAPGenerator) with SSL on a Windows 2003 server an error occurs.

The function SendRequestEx returns error code 12057.

The issue seems to be related to a check for server certificate revocation.

Answer The real reason for the error is still unknown - and as it only relates to Windows 2003, we have chosen to not investigate further.

If you have this problem, you have two options:

1. Changes to a Windows 2008 server (or any server not running Windows 2003).

2. Uncheck the "Check for server certificate revocation" checkbox in the Advanced settings of Internet Explorer 8.

This removes the situation causing the error. This should only be done when the service you are connecting to is supplied by a trusted partner.
