Hey guys, I'm trying to download a file from a website that only supports TLS 1.3 using HttpClient, but it keeps giving me this error:

System.Security.Authentication.AuthenticationException: Authentication failed because the remote party sent a TLS alert: 'ProtocolVersion' ---> System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception (0x80090326): The message received was unexpected or badly formatted.``




Here's the file url: https://ksk-h7glm2.xyz/dl/ac95c389-31ae-416f-a8cd-fdfb5969d528.cbz

I already tried adding tls13 to the Security protocols but to no avail. What's interesting is that I'm able to use python and its requests library to download the file just fine; does windows 10 22h2 not support tls1.3? I tried adding a registry edit to "client" in the protocols for 1.3, but that doesn't do anything either. I would appreciate any help

What I have tried:

Please post your code so that we can see what you are doing.

Yeah, it's a simple HttpClient making a post request:
using (var client = new HttpClient()) {
var resp = await client.PostAsync("https://ksk-h7glm2.xyz/dl/ac95c389-31ae-416f-a8cd-fdfb5969d528.cbz");
}

I'm thinking the issue is Window's SSL library has a cipher suite that is unavailable because python's requests library works fine with openssl

Download = get, not post.

Yeah, in this case, it requires a post. On the site, doing a get request would redirect it back to the homepage. I tested the url with python and it needs a post. The odd thing is it works with the requests library, not with what .net uses.

The code below downloads the file with no issues. Hence why I posted it. 39,860KB, right?

Here is an example of how to download a file. I am using a console app.
C#
using Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection;

const string HttpClientKey = "CodeProjectHelp";

IHttpClientFactory? _httpClientFactory;
string url = "https://ksk-h7glm2.xyz/dl/ac95c389-31ae-416f-a8cd-fdfb5969d528.cbz";

CreateHttpClient();

using HttpClient client = _httpClientFactory!.CreateClient(HttpClientKey);
await using FileStream fileStream = File.Create("ac95c389-31ae-416f-a8cd-fdfb5969d528.cbz");
await using Stream httpStream = await client.GetStreamAsync(url);

await httpStream.CopyToAsync(fileStream);

Console.WriteLine("File Downloaded");
Console.ReadKey();

void CreateHttpClient()
{
    ServiceCollection builder = new();
    builder.AddHttpClient(HttpClientKey);
    ServiceProvider serviceProvider = builder.BuildServiceProvider();

    _httpClientFactory = serviceProvider.GetRequiredService<IHttpClientFactory>();
}

Still gives the same issue. I think it has something to do with what Windows uses for its SSL library. There's either a problem with TLS fingerprints and them blocking me from downloading their file or TLS 1.3 is disabled or unsupported on my windows 10 os

Works fine here. Windows 11.

Ah, that's probably it, I think windows 10 doesn't support TLS 1.3? Maybe it does, and my system is just bugged. I googled something about windows 10 not automatically enabled 1.3 so maybe that's the issue. I appreciate the help
