Using Powershell v3's Invoke-WebRequest and Invoke-RestMethod I have succesfully used the POST method to post a json file to a https website.
The command I'm using is
$cert=New-Object System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates.X509Certificate2("cert.crt")
Invoke-WebRequest -Uri https://IPADDRESS/resource -Credential $cred -certificate $cert -Body $json -ContentType application/json -Method POST
However when I attempt to use the GET method like:
Invoke-WebRequest -Uri https://IPADDRESS/resource -Credential $cred -certificate $cert -Method GET
The following error is returned
Invoke-RestMethod : The underlying connection was closed: An unexpected error occurred on a send.
At line:8 char:11
+ $output = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri https://IPADDRESS/resource -Credential $cred
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : InvalidOperation: (System.Net.HttpWebRequest:HttpWebRequest) [Invoke-RestMethod], WebException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : WebCmdletWebResponseException,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.InvokeRestMethodCommand
I have attempted using the following code to ignore SSL cert, but I'm not sure if its actually doing anything.
[System.Net.ServicePointManager]::ServerCertificateValidationCallback = {$true}
Can someone provide some guideance on what might be going wrong here and how to fix it?
Thanks
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"
