108143 - SSL Pages not Visible

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 105106

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[michaeldykes]

When I try and view a page over HTTPS, the status bar says 
"Connecting"... and then says "Document: Done"; however, the contents of the
browser window do not change.

This happens whether the URL is accessed via hyperlink, or by direct entry into
the URL field.

Problem exists on Build ID 2001101312, Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; SunOS sun4u; en-US;
rv:0.9.5) Gecko/20011013

HTTPS connections seem to just fail silently.

Another curiosity is that the Edit->Preferences->Privacy &
Security->Certificates tab is missing entirely, which may be the root of the SSL
problems.

Build 0.9.5 for Sparc Solaris.  
OS Versions = Solaris 8, all patches installed.
I don't think this should matter, but I was using a SunRay terminal, which 
means that X is streaming across the network to the terminal from a central 
server.

The browsers's language setting is set to "Japanese" first, and then English.  
Proxies are manually set for both HTTP and HTTPS.

The URL I was trying to view was 
https://suned.sun.co.jp/JPN/catalog/courses/JP-OO-226.html

Which is a EUC (Japanese Unix) encoded.  

The page can be viewed properly using Netscape 4.7 on Solaris, and IE 6.0 on 
WinME.

Let me know if you need more information.

This is a duplicate of bug 105106. The Sun binary for mozilla 0.9.5 was
accidentally built without https support.  To get around the problem, either use
0.9.4 or a nightly build.  Sites using https work for me in the most recent
nightlty builds, but you probably don't want to use a nightly build from Nov.
2-5 due to bug 108175. Maybe try a build from Oct. 31 or so.

i'd suggest oct26, the past week's builds haven't been good.
