A600 on the internet and problem with AmiSSL

[Topaz750]

Hello,

I am working on my A600 build project (Furia 40Mhz, Indivision ECS, A604n, clock, Wifi on PCMCIA SMC card, SD2IDE, Rom 3.1.4 and OS 3.1.4.1).
Everything is ok and well optimised, internet with Roadshow and iBrowse (registered) are ok.
Except that for a reason I don't know, I can't access https sites anymore since AmiSSL is acting up. iBrowse indicates either an absence or an obsolescence of AmiSSL (I did check my ASSIGN in the user startup which are OK, I reinstalled both softwares several times etc).

I add some screenshots taken on the 600.
After launching iBrowse and Roadshow, I still have 1.5Mb of Chip and 4.5Mb of Fast.
Memory problem?

Thank you for your help!

AMISSL is time sensitive. If your time is wrong, you get AMISSL errors. Is yr time and date ok?

[npagonis73]

I assume AMISSL installation is correct and assigns and paths made as well.

Thank for this answer but I have carefully adjusted my time setting (my Amiga was late) and the issue remain the same

Are you using the latest version of IBrowse (2.5.4) and AmiSSL (4.9) ?

Yes
And both version registered

Try doing a clean install of AmiSSL in that case.

Delete the AmiSSL folder and all references to it in your user-startup and then reboot your Amiga before installing AmiSSL 4.9. Give it a final reboot and then try it again.

I removed everything related to AmiSSL (assign, prefs, folders etc.) and made a clean install, still the same issue.
I wonder why so much Ramlib errors in Snoopdos.
Do I have enough free memory to use AmiSSL ?

[stylon]

Ahh, yes I just looked at your SnoopDOS log again and it is trying to load the amissl libs and failing. Some of these are pretty big... 4mb+

I think these libs are only loaded when you try to access a site that uses SSL which is why it looks like you have free RAM when you've got IBrowse open.

I can see from your other screenshot that you have a bunch of other stuff running (docks and such like). You could try quitting those to free up some RAM and see if it will work then but I wouldn't hold your breath :-(

[Topaz750]

Yes, I think about something like that.
By chance, I ran a whdload game and after leaving it, I was able to load an https site, I guess the memory was cleaned by WHDload. But unfortunately, I was not able to replicate this case.
I will try to reduce the RAM consumption of my setup and find a tool or a patch to optimise the memory

[Futaura]

Memory fragmentation is going to be an issue, with that little ram. AmiSSL will need at least one large contiguous block for the library to be loaded into memory. You'll probably find it works when "avail" shows a large block of free ram. If you have 4.5Mb free, but all smaller blocks, AmiSSL probably won't fit in any of them.

I forget what the best tools are for minimizing memory fragmentation - have you tried PoolMem from Aminet?

No, not yet and thanks for the suggestion. I am away for few days from my A600, I will try Poolmem and other tools to optimize the memory and update the thread with the results.
