SSL being blocked on PocketPC

Hello all -
I have an application that uses SQLce merge replication over the
internet using SSL. At one location I'm getting an error 80070305
when it tries to sync. The PocketPC (WM2003) is using ActiveSync
(3.7.1) to provide its internet connection. In troubleshooting, I've
discovered that PIE cannot access any SSL sites on the internet while
the ActiveSync host PC has no trouble accessing those same sites. PIE
can access non-SSL sites with no problem. Both the PC & the PPC are
using a proxy to get to the internet. The SSL site that I'm trying to
sync with is using a Verisign provided certificate.

I've not been able to find a description of the 80070305 error but I
gather it's related to SSL certificates.

Any help is much appreciated.

Mike

You should see the error in the server log, something like:

Error number: 80070305
Error Description: A request to send data to the computer running IIS has
failed.

What symptoms does Pocket IE exhibit? That might be more telling. Based on
the error someone here may be able to help out.

Note that the proxy UI for Pocket PC doesn't let you specify the HTTPS proxy
separately from the HTTP proxy. Is the proxy server using the same port for
HTTP and HTTPS proxy? In other words, look at the proxy "advanced" settings
on the desktop that is working.
