MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP with SSL3?

Question

Using VBScript, want to talk to a HTTPS website but it fails with:

The client and server cannot communicate, because they do not possess a common algorithm

Found out this is because it needs to use SSL3. How can I tell it to use SSL v3?

Thanks

ServerXmlHTTP relies on WinHTTP, which supports SSLv3. See the WINHTTP_FLAG_SECURE_PROTOCOL_SSL3 in the documentation. What version of MSXML are you using? You may want to try using one of the later versions. See the documentation on ProgID information.
