VBA ServerXMLHTTP https request with self signed certificate

I used to have this problem for a while, and I only managed to get past it thanks to this:

Set objHTTP = CreateObject("MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP")
objHTTP.SetOption 2, objHTTP.GetOption(2)
objHTTP.Open "POST", "https://invernalia.homelinux.net", False, "user", "password"
objHTTP.setRequestHeader "User-Agent", "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0)"
objHTTP.send ("")

I have found this here setOption Method and getOption Method

Here in this code I have just used SXH_SERVER_CERT_IGNORE_ALL_SERVER_ERRORS but you can try with others more specific:

  • SXH_SERVER_CERT_IGNORE_WRONG_USAGE
  • SXH_SERVER_CERT_IGNORE_CERT_CN_INVALID
  • SXH_SERVER_CERT_IGNORE_CERT_DATE_INVALID
  • SXH_SERVER_CERT_IGNORE_UNKNOWN_CA
