Powershell v3 Invoke-WebRequest HTTPS error
This work-around worked for me: http://connect.microsoft.com/PowerShell/feedback/details/419466/new-webserviceproxy-needs-force-parameter-to-ignore-ssl-errors
Basically, in your PowerShell script:
add-type @"
using System.Net;
using System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates;
public class TrustAllCertsPolicy : ICertificatePolicy {
public bool CheckValidationResult(
ServicePoint srvPoint, X509Certificate certificate,
WebRequest request, int certificateProblem) {
return true;
}
}
"@
[System.Net.ServicePointManager]::CertificatePolicy = New-Object TrustAllCertsPolicy
$result = Invoke-WebRequest -Uri "https://IpAddress/resource"
Lee's answer is great, but I also had issues with which protocols the web server supported.
After also adding the following lines, I could get the https request through. As pointed out in this answer https://stackoverflow.com/a/36266735
$AllProtocols = [System.Net.SecurityProtocolType]'Ssl3,Tls,Tls11,Tls12'
[System.Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = $AllProtocols
My full solution with Lee's code.
add-type @"
using System.Net;
using System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates;
public class TrustAllCertsPolicy : ICertificatePolicy {
public bool CheckValidationResult(
ServicePoint srvPoint, X509Certificate certificate,
WebRequest request, int certificateProblem) {
return true;
}
}
"@
$AllProtocols = [System.Net.SecurityProtocolType]'Ssl3,Tls,Tls11,Tls12'
[System.Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = $AllProtocols
[System.Net.ServicePointManager]::CertificatePolicy = New-Object TrustAllCertsPolicy
Did you try using System.Net.WebClient
?
$url = 'https://IPADDRESS/resource'
$wc = New-Object System.Net.WebClient
$wc.Credentials = New-Object System.Net.NetworkCredential("username","password")
$wc.DownloadString($url)
An alternative implementation in pure powershell (without Add-Type
of c# source):
#requires -Version 5
#requires -PSEdition Desktop
class TrustAllCertsPolicy : System.Net.ICertificatePolicy {
[bool] CheckValidationResult([System.Net.ServicePoint] $a,
[System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates.X509Certificate] $b,
[System.Net.WebRequest] $c,
[int] $d) {
return $true
}
}
[System.Net.ServicePointManager]::CertificatePolicy = [TrustAllCertsPolicy]::new()
