Found this in my code:

*[2016/02/08 18:59] ndragan - fixing this for the last time... the 4.0 has the insane security bug.
* because when it is not involved in any HTTP, the selected URL has a bad certificate :face,palm: unless you're admin, then it's ok.
* THIS.ODOM=CREATEOBJECT("MSXML2.DOMDocument.4.0")
This.Odom=Createobject("Microsoft.XMLDOM")


IOW, it may give you some extra ability, but it may also contain security issues, the way they are understood in Redmond. What I used here is just xml, no http, and I still ran into that kind of wall. And since Microsoft doesn't wash, it makes new... beware.
