TitleTeamTrack on a secure web server is not supported.

DescriptionIf you try to connect the P4DTI to a TeamTrack server running on a secure web server, then the replicator hangs for a minute or so, then stops with "TeamShare API error: SERVER_ERROR: Server error: -1." The P4DTI TeamTrack integration is now maintained and supported by TeamShare <http://www.teamshare.com/>.
AnalysisI believe that this is because the socket library that we link with when building the Python interface to TeamTrack (ws2_32) doesn't support SSL. We need to link with the wininet socket library and make other changes to the Python interface. TeamShare have built sample API applications using wininet so they can give us advice (but see [3]).
Customers may be able to work round this problem by configuring their web server to make TeamTrack available to the P4DTI via ordinary HTTP on a trusted connection.
