Midori & https.

Hello,

I am new to ArchLinux, which I installed on a 8gb SDHC card on my eeePC 1000H using Robertek's kernel.

I have installed Midori, and I have tried both the one from Pacman and midori-git from AUR, but the problem is that I can't have access to pages requiring https.

Is there any known fix to get https to work with Midori?

Thank you.

Re: Midori & https.

It's not about 'fixing' it, Midori does not support HTTPS and for now its development is not making lots of progress, as I understood. Rumour has it some hacking can get HTTPS going in it, but I do not know how.

Re: Midori & https.

Thanks for your reply.
But on the developers' blog it is said that https works on some distros:

That depends on your distribution, for example for me it works fine. But it won't work for you if it didn't before. SSL support is solely WebKit's business.

Otherwise is there another lightweight web browser that you can advise me and that supports https?

Re: Midori & https.

You might want to try Arora, I think it supports HTTPS, Qt4 webkit-based though.

Re: Midori & https.

https works for me with the following command

WEBKIT_IGNORE_SSL_ERRORS="1" midori
