I found that when I used the this callback function to ignore SSL certificates  System Net ServicePointManager   ServerCertificateValidationCallback     true   I always got the error message Invoke-WebRequest   The underlying connection was closed  An unexpected error occurred on a send  which sounds like the results you are having   I found this forum post which lead me to the function below   I run this once inside the scope of my other code and it works for me  function Ignore-SSLCertificates        Provider   New-Object Microsoft CSharp CSharpCodeProvider      Compiler    Provider CreateCompiler        Params   New-Object System CodeDom Compiler CompilerParameters      Params GenerateExecutable    false      Params GenerateInMemory    true      Params IncludeDebugInformation    false      Params ReferencedAssemblies Add  System DLL      null      TASource            namespace Local ToolkitExtensions Net CertificatePolicy                       public class TrustAll   System Net ICertificatePolicy                               public bool CheckValidationResult System Net ServicePoint sp System Security Cryptography X509Certificates X509Certificate cert  System Net WebRequest req  int problem                                        return true                                                     TAResults  Provider CompileAssemblyFromSource  Params  TASource       TAAssembly  TAResults CompiledAssembly        We create an instance of TrustAll and attach it to the ServicePointManager      TrustAll    TAAssembly CreateInstance  Local ToolkitExtensions Net CertificatePolicy TrustAll        System Net ServicePointManager   CertificatePolicy    TrustAll

I tried searching for documentation on the EM7 OpenSource REST API  No luck so far   http   blog sciencelogic com sciencelogic-em7-the-next-generation 05 2011  There s a lot of talk about OpenSource REST API  but no link to the actual API or any documentation  Maybe I was impatient   Here are few things you can try out   a   Invoke-RestMethod -Uri https   IPADDRESS resource -Credential  cred -certificate  cert   a Results   ConvertFrom-Json   Try this to see if you can filter out the columns that you are getting from the API   a Results   ft   or  you can try using this also   b   Invoke-WebRequest -Uri https   IPADDRESS resource -Credential  cred -certificate  cert   b Content   ConvertFrom-Json   Curl Style Headers   b Headers   I tested the IRM   IWR with the twitter JSON api     a   Invoke-RestMethod http   search twitter com search json q PowerShell    Hope this helps
