Scheduling an HTTPS page to automate mail with CF Admin tool

[gasparrelli]

I am trying to use the CF scheduler to send daily email based on a standard query, nothing special. This is something I have done many times before, even using the same mail server I am using now. The problem now however is that I only have access to https pathed pages, no plain http folders. So the path I schedule to run contains https... My mail however is not getting sent. No specific errors are being logged anywhere I can see, and if I go to a browser and enter the path I enter in the CF scheduler my mail gets sent correctly. Any suggestions on this? Do I need a port change perhaps, or to change a configuration setting on the CF server, or is this just not possible for some reason?

Thanks for help, my email clients are getting cranky we can't get this working properly!

I think the problem is that the scheduler doesn't support the https protocol. I've never tried this before but I'd be willing to bet that's the problem. I would update the task and publish it's output so you can see if you're getting any webserver errors. It's possible that the scheduler simply requests it on the regular http port and ignores the https protocol so the webserver would simply return an error page and the scheduler wouldn't know anything was wrong.
