Similar story here with Co-operative Bank https://welcome27.co-operativebank.co.uk/CBIBSWeb/start.do, using RISC OS Netsurf 3.0 (Dev) 04 Aug 2009 r9045. snip details The above problem dates from last summer (2009) and meant that I normally stayed with Netsurf 2.1 rather than any of the 3.0 development versions. Unfortunately, I now find that the new 2.5 exhibits the same problem, so once again I must retain 2.1 for use with this bank. I won't add another problem log on the tracker as the one that's there says enough (while not mentioning 2.5 of course), but I do wonder if anyone has an understanding of whether the problem is soluble. Glad to report that, as of some unknown period before Netsurf development update 3.0 (Dev) (03 Aug 2010 10:30) r10678, the above problem has disappeared, AND it has disappeared when using the release version 2.5! So maybe it's something the Co-op Bank has changed? That suggests to me that it is not a change in Netsurf which has caused the improvement for you. I have added a comment to Netsurf Bug tracker ID: 2835477 Co-op bank login gives SSL error 2009-08-11, but cannot mark the bug closed if John Williams still has the problem with La Poste. (I have advised him of this by personal email). I still get the same message attempting to open the Snatander login page. I have added a comment to the bugtracker.

Re: file:/// is now wrong

It gives 'file not found' a message issued by Netsurf. The file it is looking for is: /ADFS::IYO4.$.~Mine.WFF.!WildFlowers.Flowers.Y/YellowStagshorn/Yell owStagshorn.htm Note the leading '/'. This is where it is going wrong. It wont find the file because of this leading '/'. But if I omit one of the '/'s in the line in the e-mail thus: file://ADFS::IYO4.$.~Mine.WFF.!WildFlowers.Flowers.Y/YellowStagshor n/YellowStagshorn.htm It still doesn't work. I'm not surprised about the last bit of code, it is wrong, but the first bit should work, it worked before. When I double-click a local file the URL in netsurf (r10592) still starts file:///IDEFS and has the colons and dollar sign replaced by %3A and %24 respectively file:///IDEFS%3A%3AHardDisc4.%24/Ant/Archery/www_panda-bowmen_org_uk/Basic~20Tu ning.htm The more readable version file:///IDEFS::HardDisc4.$/Ant/Archery/www_panda-bowmen_org_uk/Basic~20Tuning.h tm also works fine. I think the directory separator dots need to be replaced with slashes, eg file:///ADFS::IYO4.$/~Mine/WFF/!WildFlowers/Flowers/Y/YellowStagsh orn/YellowStagshorn.htm Does this help?

Re: hiccup with emailed link to a password-protected file

When I click the link in the email (displayed by MPro), Netsurf (2.5) fires up, opens a blank page and puts up the site authentication dialogue asking username and password. Then it spends ages apparently fetching the file, then says Processing document with hourglass for ages and finally crashes. I tried loading Fresco and clicked the same link in the email. It asked username and password, downloaded the file in 16 seconds and popped up a savebox showing a zipfile. As a workaround with Netsurf, I copied the link from the email into a simple HTML page so I could *Shift*-click it. That worked OK. However, the progress box during the download showed peculiar behaviour: the estimated time kept changing between between two rather high values that proved meaningless. Summary: it seems Netsurf 2.5 (RiscOS 4.39) gets confused when an emailed link involves authentication. I filed a bug report with log. Anybody experienced similar? Seems to be a Netsurf 2.5 issue. As I reported on the Netsurf mailing list I see the same with 2.5 (refresh renders the jpeg as a picture) but not with development version r10487 26 April.

Unknown SSL Protocol
I have been using version 2.1 for most of the year since it was released and have been using it for online banking. I have downloaded all the RISC OS development versions this month (including r10487 26 May 2010) as well as v2.5 and they all report Unknown SSL Protocol error when I go to my bank's login page. Further testing of the development versions I have shows that r7539 23 May 2009 allows login, r9563 09 September 2009 reports the error. Every development version I have since r9563 (not many until this month) also reports the error. I have preserved a log from r10487 where the only activity was open my Hotlist and then my bank login page (8000 bytes, 1633 bytes when zipped). Should I put this on the bug tracker with log attached? and/or send the log file to someone? Anthony -- Anthony Hilton a...@tinshill.f9.co.uk
Re: Changing the colour in Google lists when it has been read.

So I didn't go back and read the same find again. But now I do. An irritation! The marker doesn't have to be a change in colour, anything would do. Some people have difficulties with colour, my brother is red-green colour blind, so I am very aware of it, though it's not my problem. I don't know how the developers feel about the urgency of this one but I would have thought it a pretty fundamental function of any helpful hypertext browser to indicate (usually with colour) any visited links, including those on legacy pages. This may be under the catch-all HTML4 - Nearly Done and CSS 1 - Nearly Done. vlink is also present in HTML5 so perhaps we must but wait. I think the problem is that the developers have chosen to implement HTML4 and CSS before HTML1. Link colours in the body tag are ignored. This is a long standing issue. Michael's question isn't a link colour in a body tag question. Surely it is a browser setting to change the colour of a link which has been followed. Anthony -- [EMAIL PROTECTED]
