 How do you deal with that?
 I have a problem with all browsers:
 Minimo - it loads login page allright, than asks to accept certificate
 (login page is ssl encrypted) and crashes every time.
 Midori - doesn't react at all - like connection is broken (does it work with
 ssl and all this certificate stuff?).
 Dillo - doesn't support ssl at the time.

 Does anyone experiense same problem?

 yup, had exactly the same problems, with ssl not being accepted using gmail

 it's not critical, so i'm consigned to waiting till it and a myriad of
 other bugs are fixed. frustrating i know

 did you know there's a workaround to get dillo to do ssl? it requires
 a re-compile, but doesn't appear too complicated

 or maybe you could give fennec a go?
 I think links works with ssl ...

Same problem here. I've made some tries to get this working, and I found
the origin of the issue, but I didn't managed to get it fixed.

By the way... I've compiled om-browser and newer webkit using the
Openmoko Toolchain, I've put these in Om2008 but I wasn't able to login
in my wifi network.
So I run debian, there I was able to log-in using firefox and midori,
but I tried to use my newer webkit library (compiled under Om) to see if
it was the cause of our problem... It wasn't.

So, after some tries I got that the problem affects only the OE based
distros and that to be more precise libcurl or libgutls cause this issue.
I had the same problem also logging-in on Facebook from a webkit based
browser, so I filled a bug that later I said as unvalid; it could give
you more info [1].

PS: Fennec would work, the main problem is that it's really hard to
accept a bad certificate there. I got it working only opening it in
remote using SSH.

The one case where I need it (i.e. at work) luckily works OK with
Midori for me (haven't tried with any other).  But works OK is not
good enough: switching to the browser and entering the password is
a pain in the rear.  Has anybody written a little script which does it
all without any user interaction?  Integrating it with the wpa_action
thingy would be ideal, of course.
