AmiSSL 4
A great day is upon us! I see that an updated AmiSSL is now on Aminet. Brilliant news for the usability of the Amiga online. However, I think i'm right in that any software we have has to be recompiled to take advantage of it?
Anyway, thanks to all involved! |

Wow, that is great news!
Would recompiling something like IBrowse be a big, complicated job? |

Don't know how useful this is right now, though. There's a simple work around to get onto secure sites. Only when a site insists on things like SHA256 will you be unable to get onto the site. |

Well ibrowse 2.4 was released in 2006... so it can't be too long a wait for 2.5!

AFAIK Ibrowse AKA Stefan Burstrom were waiting on a legit AmiSSL implementation and I can understand why.
I was checking the site just a couple days ago, no mention of 2.5. So I think it will be much less wait than 11 years. ![]() Given that it's a major security upgrade, I daresay they will want to test thoroughly before releasing any updates of their own. Quote:

Unfortunately I don't know when it will be released and the workaround I've tried to get onto secure sites doesn't work for me and for many people... That's a shame because it is certainly the best browser for Amiga 68k. |

Just a question from the end-user perspective. Does this mean, if compiled with this library software will be able to connect securly using latest SSL and most of TLS protocol?

setenv save AmiSSL/SSL_CLIENT_VERSION tls1 The idea is correct, but the line is wrong (it makes an environment variable called save, which is wrong). This is correct (for AOS3, probably AOS2 as well): Code:
makedir env:amissl setenv amissl/ssl_client_version tls1 copy env:amissl envarc:amissl As far as I know, support has to be added. |

The good news is that things are finally moving forward. The source has has been recently moved to from CVS to a private GIT server. There is a branch for AmiSSL 4 but AFAIK it is not available yet. |

It worked like a charm! ![]() I had that line in my s:user-startup file in the "AmiSSL Section" just after the "Assign" but in fact it didn't work. Now I am able to browse https:// websites, THANKS! |

I think I must be doing something wrong. I have added those lines but Ibrowse still says "Amissl either not installed or too old".
I have amissl assigned to sys:internet/amissl and have installed amissl 4 over my old amissl installation. Any idea what the issue might be? Ibrowse is set to ssl2 and ssl3. |

I got an error during install about a line in the code and a directory not existing.
Will install snapit.lha and try to post a screenshot. |

I had the same thing happen. This is if you don't already have a copy of AmiSSL installed. I got around it by manually creating the directory it couldn't find.

Don't unpack the archives on your PC. Unpack them on your Amiga. |

I had an error decompressing the archive with unarc and I had to extract the files from the lha file using Dopus. |
