Cannot configure remote project with SSL web access

Project:VS.Php for Visual Studio 2008
Component:Code
Category:bug report
Priority:critical
Assigned:Unassigned
Status:active
Description

I marked this as critical because it prohibits any use of the software for certain configurations that may be outside of the control of the user. Ie: when a user needs to work on a remote site with ssl-only web access.

Steps to repro:

1) Create a new remote project
2) Configure SFTP path to root folder
3) Use HTTPS Url to web site root

Error Encountered:

"Object reference not set to an instance of an object."

Occurs in (but not necessarily limited to):

v2.4.4.4494 (SE)
v2.4.5.4535 (2008).

    btw, I'm using Vista with no UAC.

    Non-SSL web access works awesome.

    BTW, do you have a valid SSL

    Valid SSL cert

    d'oh -

    I really thought I'd tested this on a server with a valid SSL cert, however I tried it again and it worked. I must have used the wrong subdomain initially.

    So the answer is no, I don't have an SSL cert from a known authority. (Good catch, sorry I should have specified).

    It would still be nice to have fixed, seeing as we work on remote servers with temporary certs - Is this something that you will address in the future?

    Yes, it should not be too

    Yes, it should not be too bad to remove the check on the cert.
