Using vb.net to call orders API

[JohnC1102]

I have a vb.net application running at a customer site in Ohio that has functioned without error since 2020..

this is the api GET url: https://api.sellbrite.com/v1/orders\
We have vaild account token / Secret Key.

Beginning 2/19/2024 we started getting the following error:

System.Net.WebException: The request was aborted: Could not create SSL/TLS secure channel.
at System.Net.HttpWebRequest.GetResponse()

From my developer location, in Missouri the codes connects fine, as expected.

What surprises me is that if I open the browser at my customer site in Ohio and put in the url and put the account token and secret key in as user/password it connects fine and returns the orders. No SSL/TSL error message.

Does anyone have any insight in this area?

Thanks,

John

Hello - Thanks for reaching out!

It appears this was due to an update that our team rolled back this morning. Can you let us know if you’re still seeing the same issue?

Thanks Jordan: Interesting. The problem was the same this morning 9-10am eastern time. I queried ChatGPT about the httpwebrequest error message I was getting and one of the suggestions was to update the .NetFramework version if I was using an old framework So since the vb.net code is 4 years old using 4.5, I updated the program to 4.7.2 framework and now it works. However it may be working because your team rolled back the update. In any event, the customer is happy that it s working again. Thanks, John
