Since my original report, I've not had cause to log-in at Sourceforge but I've just tried again using NetSurf r13038 and, this time, I'm pleased to say that there is no problem. Tony

The Spellings site in my query also tends to throw up certificate errors. (Using Netsurf r13033) -- Jim Nagelwww.archivemag.co.uk

password for HTTPS site leads to endless loop
This is an URL file I use -- a doubleclick on it always worked until last week to get directly to the Forwarders page, but now Netsurf tells me it cannot resolve host server6.spellings.net. https://:@server6.spellings.net:2083/frontend/x3/mail/addfwd .html Netsurf r13033 tells me "Could not resolve host: server6.spellings.net (Domain name not found)". Yet I can ping that host successfully. Loaded up good ol' Fresco, and the URL file works there. So I went back to an older version of Netsurf (2.7) and it works there too, other than the complaint about invalid certificate. However, it then asks for username and password again, thinks a bit, asks for username and password again, thinks a bit, again ... Did something to do with this get broken in a recent development version of Netsurf? My URL worked on Oct 7, and I installed a more recent dev version after that. -- Jim Nagelwww.archivemag.co.uk see you at London show? www.riscoslondonshow.co.uk Oct 29 Saturday
