The first line had already been changed in my copy of the file from the last time this error occurred so the second line was the fix for me. Updates for the CertData file are also available in the ROOL nightly beta HardDisc4.

If the one you download is, put it in the InetDbase: directory, delete the old CertData file, and rename the new one as CertData.

Slightly longer answer: The problem is caused by an HTTPS certificate bundle file that contains an invalid or out of date certificate. There's a related problem in that there are multiple copies of this file splattered around some people's systems. There ought to be one true copy, and it ought to be easy to maintain it. Maintaining one has to be easier than maintaining more than one, right? The one we should all be using is InetDbase:CertData (i.e. the file's name is CertData, and it lives in the InetDbase: directory, which on my system expands to HardDisc4.$.!Boot.Resources.!Internet.Files, but if we refer to it as InetDbase:CertData, then it doesn't matter where or on what drive or filing system you store it, the reference will be correct). Hence the second of the modifications above. OK, I don't know how up to date your InetDbase:CertData is, but I can at least offer you an easy way to update it - provided it is recent enough in the first place. Go to my web site, https://davehigton.me.uk and look for UpdCaCert.zip Unzip it, put it somewhere useful (maybe Apps), and run it. It will update your InetDbase:CertData file, if and only if a later one is available. Hope that helps. If even that doesn't work, it's possible that your InetDbase:CertData file is out of date, in which case come back to us here and we can tell you how to fix that. (My app requires a working CertData file to be able to download the new one. Yes, there is a potential for trouble there.)

Make the changes described above, for a start. The problem is caused by a bundle of certificate authority certificates being out of date. If that still doesn't fix it, come back to us here.

If so, do you have a solution? Following up my own post: it looks like my CertData file must have contained an invalid certificate (even though it was only 3 months out of data), because replacing that has fixed the problem. I have updated a couple of lines in !Boot.Choices.Fetch_NS.Settings. These are the new ones: Set Fetch_NS$Url https://ci.netsurf-browser.org/builds/riscos/ Set Fetch_NS$Opt --ca-certificate=InetDbase:CertData -qO First one is to use https rather than http. Second one is to use the central InetDbase:CertData file rather than a separate (and non- maintained) copy.

Worked ok here, although there is nothing to fetch, since it has been 5313 since before mid Sept. The version of SetLatest here certainly is not crunched, although it has had changes made by me. -- Chris Johnson Edinburgh ___ netsurf-users mailing list -- netsurf-users@netsurf-browser.org To unsubscribe send an email to netsurf-users-le...@netsurf-browser.org
Fetch_NS
Hi all, I used to use Fetch_NS daily. Recently it has stopped working, complaining of an incorrectly formatted filename - of course it's incorrectly formatted because it's the empty string. The error is coming from Fetch_NS.Resources.SetLatest. I'm trying to analyse why it isn't working, but the code is crunched, or very nearly so, which means I'm struggling to understand it. Has it stopped working for anyone else? If so, do you have a solution?
