通过Invoke-RestMethod测试dsc拉取服务器意外关闭

Question

I am setting up a DSC HTTPS Pull Server and am testing the service. In the browser I can access the service with the following URL

https://dsc.mydomain.com:8080/PSDSCPullServer.svc/$metadata

However the same URL using PowerShell fails. Why?

Invoke-RestMethod -Uri https://dsc.mydomain.com:8080/PSDSCPullServer.svc/$metadata -Verbose

This is the error in PowerShell:

Invoke-RestMethod : The underlying connection was closed: An unexpected error occurred on a send.

由于使用的是https，因此还必须使用签名证书，因此，除非这是$ metadata的一部分，否则可能是导致问题的原因。
