EmuMovies - Use https for file downloads

Issue #4383 new
Tony H created an issue

When using Verizon or AT&T mobile networks, and possibly others, while using LaunchBox, the EmuMovies.com API will not work at all - it returns "404 (Session not found)." as an error code for every single file, every single time. This doesn't happen until a file is actually downloaded, and that's because HTTP is used for the file downloads as evidenced by WireShark.

The fix is confirmed - use HTTPS for the EmuMovies file downloads.

Attached is a proof of concept program which can be tested with an AT&T/Verizon hotspot to quickly verify that HTTPS will work. Using HTTP will error out with the 404 session not found error.

These three properties must be changed:

    // Change these to match your information

    static string username = ""; // the same used in EmuMovies Sync/LaunchBox

    static string password = ""; // the same used in EmuMovies Sync/LaunchBox

    static string apiKey = ""; // listed as 'product' in Login(username, password) method below

Thanks!
