[gentoo-user] Konqueror and https sites

[Alan McKinnon]

This doesn't seem to be my week with Konqueror. Suddenly my bank's internet 
banking site won't work, claiming SSL errors.

Could someone please double check using konqueror-4.2.1* if this link works, 
or if I have done something stupid config-wise:

http://www.absa.co.za
In the left sidebar there's a red block. Top right of that block is a "logon" 
button. Clicking it should take you to an https login page, instead I almost 
instantly get an error page.

well it works with 4.2.67 - and my bank's website works with 4.2.1 when I used 
it last week. You have done a revdep-rebuilt?

Yes, lately I've been doing emerge world|depclean|revdep-rebuild almost daily, 
and it's been over a month since something failed.

But I just noticed that I have some kde-testing packages installed. No idea 
how they got there as I reverted to portage-tree only for KDE some time back. 
I must have wanted to check something in the overlay and forgot to remove it 
when done.

So I'll remove the overlay, rebuild, test again and report back the results.

The login page does not work here with konqueror-4.2.1-r1 (amd64),
giving a "ssl negotiation failed" error. Other https sites work fine,
however.

$ konqueror -version
Qt: 4.5.0
KDE: 4.2.1 (KDE 4.2.1)
Konqueror: 4.2.1 (KDE 4.2.1)

I have not used the kde overlay for quite some time, so that is not the
issue, at least for me.

Well, I'm still on the old KDE 3.5 stuff but I tried it anyway.  I get
this little boo boo message with Konqueror:

An error occurred while loading https://ib.absa.co.za/ib/ib.jsp:
Could not connect to host ib.absa.co.za.

If you got the same, this may not just be a KDE 4 boo boo.  I also tried
it in Seamonkey, it loaded the page fine with no error.

Hope this piece of oddity helps.

P. S. Care to share your password info so I can test this properly?

So it's not just me then. I have almost the identical setup, apart from qt - 
I'm still on 4.4.2. Maybe I should hold off rebuilding kde and wait a day or 
two for KDE-4.2.2

Thanks for the feedback

Now that's interesting. That's the page you get redirected to after SSL 
negotiation succeeds. And I know for a fact it worked for many years in 3.5.x

Looks like my bank is doing what I do so often:

"Change stuff and hope that it's transparent. If not, the users will moan and 
I'll fix it. Maybe."

I'm running vanilla KDE, so with Konqueror 3.5.9 I can open this page fine 
when I click on the logon button: https://ib.absa.co.za/ib/ib.jsp

I am not sure if my javascript settings are default, but if you enable Debug 
and Report Errors you should see if this is a javascript problem.  Also I 
would think that you need to have your cookies switched on (haven't tried 
without).

HTH.

It works fine for me in Konq 4.2.2 on Linux and Konq 4.2.1 on Windows XP.

Don't worry, me and my bank has went a few rounds too.  They just don't
understand that Linux doesn't get viruses like their windoze boxes
does.  They may get a wake up call in the next day or so tho.  I been
hearing about this nasty fishing lure going around.  Heck, even the CBS
news network was infected here.  It took those guys almost two weeks to
find out they even had it then several days to figure out it was on
about all of theirs.

Me, I'd switch to Linux something and boot windoze.  Some people are not
as smart as us tho.  ;-)

Windoze is like dating.  Time tells what is more secure.  I don't hear
about Linux boxes getting infected like this.
