Hello - not a bug, just a request for info really if any one can help
please.
Occasionally (or is it regularly) I get some ssl warning pages displayed
instead of access to the site when browsing with Icecat 45.5.1 (on linux
64bit).
An example message is pasted below. 'Trying again' does not help - the site
is blocked.
I do not get these pages returned for the same sites when browsed using
Firefox.
In some cases, Icecat reports an unsafe/unencrypted session and no valid or
invalid certificate is available, when Firefox states for the same page it
is ok (and I can browse the certificate details etc).
I did notice during one of these scenarios, that Firefox was reporting
TLS1.0. It led me wonder if it is a settings issue on what level of ssl
components are acceptable.
Is Icecat setup by default to be less forgiving towards what it receives
SSL wise, bearing in mind I have not changed any ssl related settings in
either browser?
Thank you for any comments/ideas.
Best wishes to all
Habs
