  Hello all, We have Automise 3.0.0.918 on a server and I am trying to pull a file off a secure website. It fails with the error "Could not load SSL library". This seems to indicate that I need openssl installed on the server. So I installed the Visual C++ runtime and Win64OpenSSL Light 1.0.1. I still can't seem to get Automise to use the newly installed libraries to get the file. Any suggestions (besides upgrade)? Thanks  ---

I got this to work. This was solved by installing 32bit OpenSSL along with the Visual C++ (32bit) runtime. I tried 64bit but realized it was looking for the 32bit. Once I did this it worked well. ---

Spoke too soon. The task to get the file is successful. But when I try to open the file (whcih is a zip), windows doesn’t recognize the file. So the file downloads, but is corrupted in the process. Any ideas? Thanks. ---

Here’s the file location if anyone is interested: [https://www.euroclear.com/site/publicBackofficeFile/eui/isins\_03-05-2012.zip?action=dload](https://www.euroclear.com/site/publicBackofficeFile/eui/isins_03-05-2012.zip?action=dload) It works fine in a browser, but I can’t seem to pull this using Automise http get or wget. The file is copied down with a size of zero and Automise says the job is successful. Strange. ---

Hi Mike It looks like the server is doing some sort of redirect before sending the file down, using chome’s developer tools I watched what happens and you will see the original GET is showing is cancelled. ---

Vincent, Thanks for looking at this. When I use Chrome Developer tools to download Process Explorer from Microsoft, the tools also report a canceled get.  So either the two websites have something in common or the results from the tools are invalid. Here is the process explorer link that also shows "canceled" but still downloads the file in Chrome: [http://download.sysinternals.com/fi...plorer.zip](http://download.sysinternals.com/files/ProcessExplorer.zip) I'm not sure we can derive much from the Chrome "canceled" status. ---

  This is working well, it was essentially a mistake on my part with the URL and date formatting.  I was able to test this in Automise 3.x and 4.x. If you install OpenSSL32 bit and choose to install the dlls in system32, there won't be any problems. Thanks for the assistance.
