iBrowse 2.4, Ami SSL 3.6 and this forum

[paul1981]

I'm still running AmiSSL 3.6 as I don't have any new programs to make use of version 4. I have Roadshow and IBrowse, so I'll try and log on Amiga.org tonight and see what happens.

Okay, I am actually typing this from my A1200, so it appears to be working fine for me. I have downloaded a photo attachment too from a different thread so all appears to be working here.
I'm using IBrowse 2.4 with Roadshow 1.13 and AmiSSL 3.6. I'm now going to attach a .iff screen grab to see if I can attach

I've found a rather good screen grabber called QuickGrab on aminet for this (so that I may attach proof!):

Hopefully this post will come out okay without LF issues! If it doesn't, I do apologise for messing your screen up

Working great! Now amiga.org... why couldn't I attach a good old Amiga IFF file? I had to convert it first via Personal Paint to PNG. Should I have just renamed it to a .txt file and then it would have uploaded? But if I did that it either would fail or create an unpleasant mess on someones screen... Any advice other than "convert to PNG or JPG"?

I forgot to mention that I'm using OS3.1...not 3.1.4!

I'm posting this from my mobile...not anywhere near as much fun! I used to use the amiga.org proxy when that was running but now since the site update the proxy isn't required anyway.

That may be the issue...I'm using 3.1.4

Are you certain that you have the env var set up correctly and IBrowse security configured correctly?

In IBrowse go to the Menu > Preferences > Settings...
Make sure both 'SSL v2 support' and 'SSLv3 support' are enabled
Save the settings.

There was some confusion about the setenv command as it differs between the OS3.9 version and OS3.1. The OS3.9 version can create directories in ENV: and the 3.1 version not. You can set it up manually though quite simply:

Create a new directory (drawer :) in ENVARC: called AmiSSL (ENVARC: lives in SYS:Prefs/Env-Archive)

Use your favourite text editor to create a text file containing four characters as follows (without quotes) : 'tls1'

Save this text file into your newly created AmiSSL directory with the filename 'SSL_CLIENT_VERSION'  (without quoues)

So to summarise, in the path 'SYS:Prefs/Env-Archive/AmiSSL' there is a 4 byte file called 'SSL_CLIENT_VERSION' the content of which is 'tls1'.

That is it. You can now reboot and it should work. If you don't want to reboot just copy that AmiSSL drawer over to ENV: and restart IBrowse.

I've just re-read your first post and it's hard to tell but did you install AmiSSL 4.3 because version 3.6 didn't work either? I haven't personally installed 4.3, but according to what I've read it shouldn't make a difference with IBrowse 2.4...either 3.6 or 4.3 should work.

Lets double check it's working. Open a shell and type in:

getenv amissl/ssl_client_version

The result should be tls1

By the way, is this a clean 3.1.4 install you're running? Some env handlers are crappy, but I use env-handler 1.13 by Stephan Rupprecht and I've never had any bother. I don't know whether 3.1.4 actually comes with it's own env handler or not, but if it does then obviously stick with that one.

And the result.....tis1

You mean tls1 yes and not tis1? TEE ELL ESS WON

Did you get this sorted then? If not then I forgot to mention for you to check that the AmiSSL assign exists. I can't really think of anything else at this point.
