IBrowse and SSL

[blade002]

I'm somewhat confused (which doesn't take much at this age now) about SSL and the use of it in IBrowse on a 68k Amiga.

My config is an A1200 030@50 with 32meg of fast, 3.1 Roms and the Bloodwych WB Install.

I recently purchased IBrowse 2.5.5 and installed also AmiSSL 4.10 ... much to my dismay literally every site I visit has an SSL issue apart from EAB, Aminet.. the usual ones. Now I'm only interested in accessing Amiga related sites, such as Mixel Lab that are making the game Creeping Me Out.. etc

Is there something I'm not doing right? After reading about AmiSSL it's made to sound it has support for SSL based sites. I understand not all would be accessible but I'm not getting hardly any success at all.

Cheers ?

Check that you have installed AmiSSL correctly and also check if the AmiSSL assign really points to the path where AmiSSL is installed.

Only one way to Install AmiSSL and the path is fine. I can see this is going to be a pain in the a@#e to sort out.

That's odd, it should JustWork™

Does SnoopDOS show anything useful?

Have you done the following after installing Amissl?
Open a shell window and type the following and press return after each line:

makedir env:amissl
Setenv amissl/ssl_client_version tls1
Copy env:ssl envarc:amissl

Then reboot.

This has no effect with AmiSSL v4 (it was an old AmiSSL v3 workaround which is no longer relevant).

@blade002 What exactly are the errors that you are seeing?

Do also check your system clock is set correctly.

Might be worth installing older Amissl versions 1.1 etc… then implement amissl 4.6 then 4.10. That’s something I’ve done when building new OS builds from scratch. Ibrowse 2.5.5 works fine for me with SSL

Absolutely no point if he has iBrowse 2.5.5 - it's compiled against AmiSSL 4.10.

The chap above you (Futaura) is the man responsible for both

@Futaura - good shout on the time being wrong! That's caught me a few times on machines.

Always fetch the time from ntp in your online scripts! ;-)

You're quite right, although to be pedantic, IBrowse is currently built to use AmiSSL 4.4 or higher - first proper version with TLS 1.3. As AmiSSL 4.5-4.10 are backwards compatible, IBrowse can use those automatically, without a rebuild.

D’oh!

Probably thinking when I used Ibrowse 2.4. Watched how to do it via 10marc (Doug) on his YouTube channel.

Thank you everyone for all your input, I had no idea about all your responses till now so again, appreciated.

Here is the error I'm getting, sorry for the quality, I'm pressed for time.

SnoopDOS says this?

Can you attach the link you want to visit ? so we can do some tests too !

I think I've given up, I paid $80 AU for the browser but I've not the time nor the inclination to sit down for half a century bothering with it.

As someone said "it should just work!" but I'm a little tired these days of such things not working.

Thanks anyway mate, great of you to offer

[Futaura]

Are you using a proxy? If you have one, I would try renaming your IBrowse settings file, so the defaults get used, and see if that helps?

It certainly seems to be some sort of set up issue at your end and doesn't appear to be IBrowse's or AmiSSL's fault.

You could also try "AmiSSL:OpenSSL s_client -connect hostname:443" in a shell, replacing "hostname" with whichever web host you wish. This may show more information about the problem, if it doesn't connect.

This is very interesting and I Hope it gets solved since i have the same problem. What is weird is that i just got internet to work on my A600 so got the demo for iBrowse and installed Amissl. Everything worked perfectly so i decided to do the same thing on my A1200 but i cant get Amissl to work. No matter what i do it is like its not installed and I cant reach any of these sites that requires ssl

First thing to check is if you have amisslmaster.library installed in multiple locations. There should only be one, in AmiSSL:Libs, and check you didn't install AmiSSL in multiple locations. SnoopDos would help troubleshoot this. I'm assuming your A1200 has at least as much RAM as your A600.

It does. 8mb in both. I will check this.

My A1200 has I think 11.5 mb of ram and it usually fails to load AmiSSL if I have anything else running than IBrowse. SnoopDos doesn't reveal anything, everything seems to be ok but doesn't just work. When I close everything (or even restart the computer if I've been using it for a while -> 'corrupted memory') all works ok.
