Hello everybody!
how to make a secure connection to mysql database?

2

Hello,

To do this, use the https data transfer Protocol, and store passwords in the database in encrypted form.

https API call does not work on x-Thunkable.
I am getting:
“The website or service provider you are trying to reach does not support HTTPS requests.”

I know that the API’s target server does support HTTPS requests because my requests work fine from other platforms like MIT AI2 and the browser.

My experience shows that ThunkableX works with the Web API via the https Protocol. I think you need to look at the problem in more detail. You may be entering incorrect parameters or incorrect parameter values when making a request. Working with the WEB API in Thunkable X has some specifics compared to MIT AI2, so it is often difficult to transfer applications from other platforms to Tunkable X

I have a different issue though but may well be related. I used the Web API blocks to interact with HTTPS sources and is able to work on mobile apps (live test, downloaded as well as published apps). But when I went on to build responsive web-app, using the same blocks and https source, it always give this error:
'“The website or service provider you are trying to reach does not support HTTPS requests.”

Then I tried it on live test with phone and it will work. … You know what is happening here?

Thanks.

What happens here is that the application runs in different environments. If your project works well on Android, it doesn’t mean that it will also work well as a web app or in Live or on iOS and Vice versa.

Thanks. What I need now is to make the https get request work on webapp, which I can’t. And I have no way of understanding why it is so.

I don’t use a Pro account and for this reason I can’t see why something doesn’t work in webapp.

@actech Thanks. I was able to test successfully after switching testing to iOS. I was testing with Live Test and it never worked on it.

dro, you are welcome. Somehow, https (normal HTML pages) request from webapp and webbased live test won’t work. But worked on phone platforms. However https requests for JSON APIs works… I have absolutely no idea why…
