No more login to secure sites

[humdinger]

After updating my Haiku installation, trying to log into a secure site, like https://dev.haiku-os.org/login, googlemail or my bank resulted in an error alert, complaining:

Error loading {URL}:
Unsupported protocol

I binary searched nightly gcc4hybrid images and found that hrev39924 works, hrev39941 doesn't (Timeline). Who's to blame? :)

BeZilla always works, BTW. A copied hrev39924's Web+ to a current image shows the same error.

Probably hrev39940.

Probably. Assigned to Scott.

can you try with the older curl and/or openssl? It's probably openssl-1.0.0c, not sure if webpositive is using curl still?

[humdinger]

Curl is still in use by Web+ AFAIK. It's not the openssl package, but it's actually curl.

curl-7.21.2-x86-gcc4-2010-11-12.zip works,
curl-7.21.3-x86-gcc4-2010-12-23.zip does not.

Thanks for pinning it down!

Replying to scottmc:

It currently does, it's slated to use a new backend based on the Services Kit eventually, but not yet since that code didn't yet support https at the end of GSoC. Not sure as to the current state of it, you'd have to ping Shisui about it.

should be fixed with hrev40042.
