I cannot seem to get this to work using Powershell 5.1. The device is a Cisco MX800 CE9.3.
$url = "https://10.1.135.20/getxml?location=/Status"
[Net.ServicePointManager]::ServerCertificateValidationCallback={$true}
$webclient = New-Object System.Net.Webclient
$credCache = New-Object System.Net.CredentialCache
$creds = New-Object System.Net.NetworkCredential($user,$pwd)
$credCache.Add($url, "Basic", $creds)
$webclient.Credentials = $credCache
$webpage = $webclient.DownloadString($url)Running this script using http returns XML as expected, but using https returns the error below
Exception calling "DownloadString" with "1" argument(s): "The underlying connection was closed: An unexpected error occurred on a send." + CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [], MethodInvocationException + FullyQualifiedErrorId : WebException
