[jira] [Commented] (XERCESC-2220) Winsock Network Accessor does not support https URLs

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XERCESC-2220?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17433408#comment-17433408 ] 

Roger Leigh commented on XERCESC-2220:
--------------------------------------

[[email protected]] The reason this hasn't been remedied is that no one has cared sufficiently about it to develop and submit a fix for it.  If someone wishes to do so, I'll be more than happy to review and test it.

As for how to satisfy {{find_package(curl)}}, you need to make sure the CURL installation is on your {{CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH}} so that it can be searched for and found successfully.  One way to do this is to use _vcpkg _and its toolchain file, and all of the third-party dependencies can be trivially built and used.

> According to [a comment|https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XERCESC-2029?focusedCommentId=13982847&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#comment-13982847] from [Xerces-C++/XERCESC-2029|https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XERCESC-2029] only the curl and winsock network accessors support https URLs.
> While I got everything working on Linux using the curl accessor I cannot do so on Windows. I'm still getting the "unsupported protocol in URL" error even though I'm using the winsock accessor.  
> The problem appears to be that https has been deliberately disabled for the winsock accessor:
> Taken from {{src/xercesc/util/NetAccessors/WinSock/WinSockNetAccessor.cpp}}:
> {code:cpp}
> BinInputStream* WinSockNetAccessor::makeNew(const XMLURL&  urlSource, const XMLNetHTTPInfo* httpInfo /*=0*/)
> {
>     XMLURL::Protocols  protocol = urlSource.getProtocol();
>     switch(protocol)
>     {
>         case XMLURL::HTTP:
>         {
>             BinHTTPURLInputStream* retStrm =
>                 new (urlSource.getMemoryManager()) BinHTTPURLInputStream(urlSource, httpInfo);
>             return retStrm;
>             break;
>         }
>         //
>         // These are the only protocols we support now. So throw and
>         // unsupported protocol exception for the others.
>         //
>         default :
>             ThrowXMLwithMemMgr(MalformedURLException, XMLExcepts::URL_UnsupportedProto, urlSource.getMemoryManager());
>             break;
>     }
>     return 0;
> }
> {code}
> My understanding is that the winsock accessor should support https URLs so the question is why is https being disabled in {{WinSockNetAccessor}}?
