Added error trapping on the request, so we can see if it is failing there.

[Mordekay]

Now the log-file is completely empty

[Bugsy]

I removed the sending/received logs when I added to error trapping on the send. This means the request is sending without error. Not sure what else to do here.

@Mordekay what curl version you have?

As shown above: 1.1.1, the same as ARUKARI.

@Bugsy to communicate via SSL, you need a CA file to validate the certificate

curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_CAINFO, "cstrike/addons/amxmodx/cert/cacert.pem");

Here is the certificate link: https://curl.se/docs/caextract.html

And according to curl_const.inc:

 /* The CApath or CAfile used to validate the peer certificate
     this option is used only if SSL_VERIFYPEER is true */
  CINIT(CAINFO, OBJECTPOINT, 65),

SSL_VERIFYPEER needs to be '1'
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, 1);

So, your code should look like this:

public SendRequest( id , idCheck , iRequestType )
{
    new szURL[ 128 ];
    new CURL:cURLHandle = curl_easy_init();
    new CURLcode:ccRetVal;
    
    GetFriendID( g_szAuthID[idCheck] , g_szFriendID[ idCheck ] , 64 );
    formatex( szURL , charsmax( szURL ) , "https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/%s?xml=1" , g_szFriendID[ idCheck ] );
    
    curl_easy_setopt( cURLHandle , CURLOPT_URL , szURL );
    
    g_CurlRequests[ cURLHandle ][ RequestorID ] = id;
    g_CurlRequests[ cURLHandle ][ PlayerID ] = idCheck;
    g_CurlRequests[ cURLHandle ][ RequestType ] = iRequestType;
    copy( g_CurlRequests[ cURLHandle ][ SteamID64 ] , charsmax( g_CurlRequests[][ SteamID64 ] ) , g_szFriendID[ idCheck ] ); 
    
    curl_easy_setopt( cURLHandle , CURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTION , "ResponseReceived" );
    curl_easy_setopt( cURLHandle , CURLOPT_ERRORBUFFER , g_szCurlErrorBuffer );
    curl_easy_setopt( cURLHandle , CURLOPT_BUFFERSIZE , CURL_BUFFERSIZE );
    curl_easy_setopt( cURLHandle , CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, 1);
    curl_easy_setopt( cURLHandle , CURLOPT_CAINFO, "cstrike/addons/amxmodx/cert/cacert.pem");
    
    if ( ( ccRetVal = CURLcode:curl_easy_perform( cURLHandle , "CurlCallback" , g_CurlRequests[ cURLHandle ] , sizeof( g_CurlRequests[] ) ) ) != CURLE_OK )
    {
        if ( g_szCurlErrorBuffer[ 0 ] == EOS )
        {
            curl_easy_strerror( ccRetVal , g_szCurlErrorBuffer , charsmax( g_szCurlErrorBuffer ) );
        }
        
        set_fail_state( "curl request failed with error %d [%s]" , ccRetVal , g_szCurlErrorBuffer );
    }
    
    return PLUGIN_HANDLED;
}

This way I achieved to communicate via a SSL web socket. Hope I helped you

@Shadows Adi, it currently works for some people but not all, so I'm not sure about your suggestion.

Mordekay, are you able to try his suggested code?

[Shadows Adi]

@Bugsy, I tried your code with my code and without it. Results:
With: http://prntscr.com/xzu9s2 ~ Returning VAC Status in console
Without: http://prntscr.com/xzu8qz ~ Just stucking at Checking User [ SteamID ]

[Bugsy]

Cool, so this may resolve the issue for those like Mordekay, and yourself. Once he runs a test and confirms I will update the plugin. Though, I wonder why the server would only want a certificate for some connections and not others, maybe some isps are white flagged/trusted?

And thanks for your contribution..I jumped into curl with 0 knowledge and there's not that much digestible documentation out there, that I could find at least.

I think so, I don't know to be honest.

No problem, I searched through curl docs and find this out, I am starter in curl too
