Title: Ibrowse 2.4 ... Wow!
Post by: Tenacious on January 20, 2007, 08:42:22 PM
I just installed IB2.4.   I have'nt tried that much yet, I'm still exploring.

What a great sign of life for a platform that computer pundits declared "dead" 10 years ago.  Since this is my most used app, I'm feeling warm and fuzzy.   Big Grin!

Thank you to all developers that made this possible.

The platform is far from dead.  I'm surprised how alive it is, considering its age and lack of commercial support.

I have plans to contribute with some apps myself, once I get my miggy up and running.  Damn disk errors are stopping me from doing *anything* ATM.

But great work by the IBrowse developers, keep up the good work, lads! :)

If only I could finish ANY of my projects to a release state..........
(I am working on one big one right now though [don't get your hopes up, I abandoned my 6502 assembler a decade ago])

I bought an extra copy of IBrowse when they released 2.4 just to show my support.  I wish everyone would do this.

I recently did a comparison between IBrowse and Opera on several of the sites I use.  One in particular is intended to work only with IE.  On all of them, IBrowse is faster, and with the exception of the ones that are a little too far advanced for IBrowse, the layout is better, and the password saving is better.

Now granted IBrowse was probably faster because it was running on a 1.4GHz computer and Opera was running on a 50MHz computer, but, wait, no.  Stupid me, it was the other way around..

Yes, 2.4 is nippy but I can't seem to get AmiSSLv3.6 to work with it.  It seems to install all right, but when I go to an encrypted site I get an error window saying "Amissl is either not installed or too old".  Strange.  In Ibrowse prefs under security all the windows are ghosted.  Anyone have an answer?

@Argus

You're missing some assigns in your User-Startup file.  The installer normally does this itself, so perhaps you skipped this step?  Anyway, add these lines

assign amissl:
assign amissl: libs: add

reboot, and you should be good to go.  Or you could reinstall AmiSSL.

I've tried reinstalling and check to make sure the assigns are in user-startup; still a no go. Hmmmm?

which AmiSSL version have you installed?

IB 2.4 uses AmiSSL 3.6 on IOSpirit site

PS- and check to have "Use MiamiSSL" unchecked

You can also get this message if you don't have enough memory to start it. This has happened to me a couple times after browsing lots of pages (eating up memory), then going to a secure page.
