Hi,
I have a piece of code that works in a VS.C# project, but when this code is part of a webPart in Sharepoint, it throws an error.
ServicePointManager.ServerCertificateValidationCallback += (sender, certificate, chain, sslPolicyErrors) => true;
HttpWebRequest httpWebRequest = (HttpWebRequest)HttpWebRequest.Create(validateUrl);
HttpWebResponse httpWebResponse = (HttpWebResponse)httpWebRequest.GetResponse();
Validate url is a HTTPS-uri.
In Sharepoint, when I add the first rule it throws an exception when I go to the page and says
Object reference not set to instance of an object.
I do not exactly know where it throws this exception because this piece of code is being inclosed by a Try { } Catch (Exception e) -block, but that one isn't fired. So that's kind of weird.
If I let out the first rule, it throws an exception (in the right catch-block):
The underlying connection was closed: Could not establish trust relationship for the SSL/TLS secure channel.
Which is the same Exception I get if I let out the first rule in the VS.C# project.
Any ideas? Or other solutions? This is obviously not the safest approach.
