Sim900A cannot configure to use SSL - gsm

I'm using a gsm module Sim900A. I want to make a web request to a https api but it doesn't work.
Anything I write in the line AT+HTTPSSL gives an error, be it AT+HTTPSSL=? or AT+HTTPSSL=1...
Without this line, it works fine for HTTP requests but doesn't work with HTTPS urls.
This is the code I'm using:
AT+SAPBR=3,1,"Contype","GPRS"
OK
AT+SAPBR=3,1,"APN","www"
OK
AT+SAPBR =1,1
OK
AT+SAPBR=2,1
+SAPBR: 1,1,"xx.xx.xx.xx"
OK
AT+HTTPINIT
OK
AT+HTTPSSL=1 <-- this keeps on giving ERROR
ERROR
AT+HTTPPARA="CID",1
OK
AT+HTTPPARA="URL","http://my-api-url/xxx/yyy/zzz"
OK
AT+HTTPACTION=0
OK
+HTTPACTION:0,200,1819
AT+HTTPREAD
+HTTPREAD:1819
....CONTENT.....
OK
AT+HTTPTERM
OK
BTW, I'm using a Vodafone sim

If you get ERROR issuing AT+HTTPSSL=? (which is the test command, that should answer with the range of the parameters), I'm afraid that specific command is not supported in your particular module.
You can check this also issuing AT+CMEE=2 before 'AT+HTTPSSL=1', in order to enable verbose errors.
If you are sure that the module variant you are using does support SSL, verify that the FW version your module is running (check it by issuing AT+CMGR command) is the most recent one (you should find it out consulting the vendor site).

SIM800L modem HTTPS issue

I'm having problems using SSL certificate pinning in SIM800L. I can successfully make GET requests using both AT+HTTPSSL=0 and AT+HTTPSSL=1. However, the module doesn't check whether the offered server certificate is valid. According to this thread I have uploaded the certificate to the module's filesystem. I can successfully set the cert using an AT command:
AT+SSLSETCERT=cert.cer
AT+SSLSETCERT=cert.cer
OK
+SSLSETCERT: 0
However, doing this only doesn't seem to block other certificates from being used, e. g. I have tried with google.com and mywebsite.com (for which I have imported the certificate). So I dig a little deeper and find the SSLOPT command, which should (according to SSL docs) block invalid certificates. Setting the flag with AT+SSLOPT=0,0 and then executing the HTTPS request gets me a 605 error:
+HTTPACTION: 0,605,0
Documentation says this means "SSL failed to establish channels". My understanding of this is that the server offered an invalid certificate (so, something different from the one loaded with AT+SSLSETCERT). If I understand this correctly, I would expect this error to come when doing a request to, let's say, google.com or selfsigned.badssl.com. The problem is that I get this even if I do the request to mywebsite.com, for which I loaded the certificate into the storage.
I have tried a similar procedure with two different modules (SIM800L and SIM808) and got a similar result. Am I doing something wrong?
Here's the full list of commands and their replies for the request to mywebsite.com:
AT+CREG?
+CREG: 0,5
OK
AT+SAPBR=1,1
AT+SAPBR=1,1
OK
AT+HTTPINIT
AT+HTTPINIT
OK
AT+HTTPPARA="URL","mywebsite.com"
AT+HTTPPARA="URL","mywebsite.com"
OK
AT+HTTPPARA="CID",1
AT+HTTPPARA="CID",1
OK
AT+HTTPSSL=1
AT+HTTPSSL=1
OK
AT+SSLSETCERT=cert.cer
AT+SSLSETCERT=cert.cer
OK
+SSLSETCERT: 0
AT+SSLOPT=0,0
AT+SSLOPT=0,0
OK
AT+HTTPACTION=0
AT+HTTPACTION=0
OK
AT+HTTPREAD
AT+HTTPREAD
OK
+HTTPACTION: 0,605,0 <<<-------This shouldn't be 605
AT+HTTPTERM
AT+HTTPTERM
OK
AT+SAPBR=0,1
AT+SAPBR=0,1
OK
I found simcom 's document about ssl here,and i see a example in it. (page. 19)
4.5 HTTPS Get Method with HTTPS
// Use HTTPS download data
AT+HTTPINIT
OK
//Init HTTP service
AT+HTTPPARA="CID",1
OK
AT+HTTPPARA="URL","www.gmail.com" OK
AT+HTTPPARA="REDIR",1
OK
//Set parameters for HTTP session
AT+HTTPSSL=1
OK
//Enable HTTPS function
AT+HTTPACTION=0
OK
+HTTPACTION: 0,200,84200
//GET session start
//GET successfully
AT+HTTPREAD
+HTTPREAD: 84200 …. OK
//Read the data of HTTP server
AT+HTTPTERM
OK
I also suffered for a long time with this problem. The solution turned out to be the following - the https port should be specified in the site address. That is not so:
AT + HTTPPARA = "URL", "mywebsite.com"
and so:
AT + HTTPPARA = "URL", "mywebsite.com:443"

Proxy authentication using wget on cygwin

My institute recently installed a new proxy server for our network. I am trying to configure my Cygwin environment to be able to run wget and download data from a remote repository.
Browsing the internet I have found two different solutions to my problem, but no one of them seem to work in my case.
The first one I tried was to follow these instructions, so in Cygwin:
cd /cygdrive/c/cygwin64/etc/
nano wgetrc
at the end of the file, I added:
use_proxy = on
http_proxy=http://username:password#my.proxy.ip:my.port/
https_proxy=https://username:password#my.proxy.ip:my.port/
ftp_proxy=http://username:password#my.proxy.ip:my.port/
(of course, using my user and password)
The second approach was what was suggested by this SO post, so in my Cygwin environment:
export http_proxy=http://username:password#my.proxy.ip:my.port/
export https_proxy=https://username:password#my.proxy.ip:my.port/
export ftp_proxy=http://username:password#my.proxy.ip:my.port/
in both cases, if I try to test my wget, I get the following:
$ wget http://www.google.com
--2020-01-30 12:12:22-- http://www.google.com/
Resolving my.proxy.ip (my.proxy.ip)... 10.1XX.XXX.XX

Proxy request sent, awaiting response... 407 Proxy Authentication Required
2020-01-30 12:12:22 ERROR 407: Proxy Authentication Required.
It looks like if my user and password are not ok, but I actually checked them on my browsers and my credentials work just fine.
Any idea on what this could be due to?
This problem was solved thanks to the suggestion of a User of the community AskUbuntu.
Basically, instead of editing the global configuration file wgetrc, I should have created a new .wgetrc with my proxy configuration in my Cygwin home directory.
In summary:
Step 1 - Create a .wgetrc file;
nano ~/.wgetrc
Step 2 - record in this file the proxy info:
use_proxy=on
http_proxy=http://my.proxy.ip:my.port
https_proxy=https://my.proxy.ip:my.port
ftp_proxy=http://my.proxy.ip:my.port
proxy_user=username
proxy_password=password

Unable to post the data using GPRS

I am trying to send the data using GPRS sim800a but I am getting network error , before executing the AT+SAPBR=1,1.Signal strength will be good but as soon as AT+SAPBR=1,1 is executed, led starts blinking continuously and returns response code 601.I am using putty terminal.

Unable to reach Sentry log server: EOF occurred in violation of protocol

I'm having trouble with setting up Sentry server in HTTPS mode. Every now and then, reasonably often while seemingly random, this error message gets written by Raven (Sentry client) into log files:
Unable to reach Sentry log server: <urlopen error [Errno 8] _ssl.c:504: EOF occurred in violation of protocol> (url: https://$(valid_server)/)
Web UI works fine. Vast majority of the messages from Raven are received fine and Sentry processes them into usable output. However, due to these errors, something gets lost from time to time.
I have tried to figure this one out, but dead ends seem to follow another. Basically it seems a lot like this:
Python Requests requests.exceptions.SSLError: [Errno 8] _ssl.c:504: EOF occurred in violation of protocol
But when testing my Sentry server with similar s_client query using TLS 1.2, it leads to a valid session unlike with the example there.
It's also not about this, since SNI isn't used:
python-requests 2.0.0 - [Errno 8] _ssl.c:504: EOF occurred in violation of protocol
I'm not able to reproduce the error coherently. Raven's tests are passed and nothing is acutely wrong, until an error pops up in the log.
My set up is: Raven 4.2.1 in Python 2.7.5, Nginx 1.6.0 as reverse proxy handling HTTPS, and finally Sentry 6.4.4 with default Gunicorn 0.17.4. Nginx configs are pretty much similar to official documentation (http://sentry.readthedocs.org/en/latest/quickstart/nginx.html) with a few alterations due to HTTPS.
I ran into the same issue and got it fixed by installing the following dependencies:
On Ubuntu:
sudo aptitude install libffi-dev
And then via pip:
pip install pyopenssl ndg-httpsclient pyasn1
The problem seems to be that Python 2.X doesn't support SNI (which is needed for TLS) out of the box as explained here.

Where is Wordpress direct download link?

Wordpress not using direct linking for the download links (looks like enterprise software developer who generate links dynamically to track installation).
Use wget http://wordpress.org/latest.tar.gz is not getting the right file name.
I dont want save in desktop and upload to server because I'm running slow internet connection.
I fail to see what the problem is:
