Hannes,
Thanks for the prompt reply.
My first problem is largely resolved. My 'cabundle' file is called
'ca-bundle.crt' not the default 'ca-certificates.crt' and I checked
the path was correct but didn't notice the file name difference. Now the
certificates are accepted and I don't have to set sslstrict=false
which was the main concern. It still insists on the browser identifying
itself as Mozilla but I can live with that.
To explain the second problem; if I navigate to
'file:///usr/share/gtk-doc/html/webkitgtk/index.html' in firefox I see a
nicely formatted
title page of the WebKitGTK+ Reference Manual with links to various topics
etc. If I go to the same site using vimprobable2, I get
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"><html><head>
... etc
I had the same problem with midori and it is referred to in the midori FAQ
"Is it possible to disable Same Origin Policy? What Webkit settings not in
the preferences can I change?
You can change all values of
WebKitWebSettings<http://webkitgtk.org/reference/webkitgtk/stable/WebKitWebSettings.html>in
the config file (~/.config/midori/config on unices,
%APPDATA%\midori\config [please check :)] on Windows). For example, to
disable Same Origin Policy for local files, add
enable-universal-access-from-file-uris=true
to your config file."
That solved the problem in midori but it seems that vimprobable only allows
a subset of the webkit settings to be set in vimprobablerc. I notice in the
vimprobable config.h there is an
array mapping set commands to webkit parameters; would it be a simple
matter of adding another for 'enable-universal-access-from-file-uris'?
It does worry me that no one else is seeing this problem; more and more
software packages ( like webkit) distribute their help files as html and
you would have thought others
would have the same problem.
Since my first post, having resolved one problem, I've discovered another.
On many sites ( e.g. gmail ) the fonts are fuzzy or faint and difficult to
read. I'm using the same default fonts
in firefox and they are fine. Playing with the :set command shows that the
fontsize parameters work as expected but font type changes seem to have no
effect.
Any hints or examples of a usable font set?
Thanks and sorry for the silly questions.
