stunnel user group,

I'm trying to use stunnel to connect to a secure web server to do an XML interface, but I'm having no luck. What am I missing?

Environment OS = Windows 7 Ultimate stunnel version = 4.39 (latest release) stunnel installed as service and is running. Windows Firewall = OFF, but have added stunnel to the application list Anti-Virus = ESET, have disabled Web Access Protection

Configuration File cert = stunnel.pem options = NO_SSLv2 debug = 7 output = c:\Program files\stunnel\stunnel.log client = yes [https] accept = 3600 connect = https://partnerlogin.advancedmd.com/practicemanager/xmlrpc/processrequest.a sp https://partnerlogin.advancedmd.com/practicemanager/xmlrpc/processrequest.as p ;TIMEOUTclose = 0

I can open a Firefox browser and the designated URL address resolves, but stunnel cannot resolve it. Do I have the configuration wrong or is Windows 7 blocking the connection? I'm able to send an XML message from by application to 127.0.0.1:3600 and stunnel responds with a successful but EMPTY RESPONSE.

Thanks in advance for your help.
