75848 - https protocol not recognized

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(Core Graveyard :: Security: UI, defect)

Description

[TommyBee (No E-mail)]

MAJOR bug -- when I try to load an https site directly, I get a dialog box that
states "https protocol not recognized." When I try to load one indirectly via a
link, it fails to do anything. Build 2001041212. I've restarted the computer but
that didn't change anything.

Uh... was "Build 2001041212" not enough?

I'm so tempted to write a comment in this bug but i'll refrain.

It's broken for me too, Build 2001041212/NT4.

Going to a https URL launches Communicator 4.76 as a helper app.
Completely busted for mailnews.

Can we get platform/OS set to all if anybody spots it on Linux?

You need to provide a URL that does not work.
It is WFM at https://selfpage.dion.ne.jp/cgi-bin/cust/daa_jikan_lst.cgi and at
the support page of www.earthlink.net,
but I can not launch PSM, and am unable to confirm the security status.

Tested URLs:

https://www.fortify.net/sslcheck.html (launches 4.x)
http://webmail.telstra.com (reditects to secure site, launches 4.x)
http://www.hotmail.com (does nothing)
https://www.thawte.com
https://selfpage.dion.ne.jp/cgi-bin/cust/daa_jikan_lst.cgi

It's definately broken here...

There is a possibility that those sites are not TLS-capable.
You should try to uncheck "Enable TLS" under Preferences|Privacy/Security|SSL
and see if it makes difference.

It's the same problem under Linux.

[TommyBee (No E-mail)]

Build 2001041308 from MacMozillaFullInstaller.sea.bin will not load https URLs,
but the same build from mozilla-mac-trunk.sea.bin will.  I prefer using the
Installer, and I have a feeling that others do as well.

recommend changing Platform and OS to all as this appears to be accros the 
board on a wide range from Linux to Win32, to MacOS.  recommend marking bug 
76026 a dupe of this as it probably covers the same ground this bug already 
does.

Confirming on 2001041408 Win2k, changing Platform/OS=All and adding Smoketest keyword (visiting a https site is part of the smoketests).

Comment 14

[Oliver Klee]

Upping severity to Blocker.

Comment 15

[Yancey Yeargan]

I'm using build 2001041408 and it works for me on Win2K.  I did just delete my
profile and the mozregistry.dat file.  I've got SSL2, SSL3 and TLS enabled.  All
of the sites mentioned in this bug work perfectly for me.

Comment 16

[Oliver Klee]

After deleting mozregistry.dat and using a fresh profile, this still does not work for me (2001041408 Win2k installer).

Comment 17

[Mike Jaques]

fixed in win32-installer as of 2001041520 build.  A couple of checkins 
concerning PSM happened, must have straightened out the mess, atleast on win32.

As a side note, I know PSM2 isnt finished, but 2 things seemed muddled now, a 
logoff dialog box is looking bad, and the prefs panel for Privacy/Security is 
also looking bad. I'll attach a couple images to demonstrate what I mean.

https worksforme now on build 2001041604 (installer) on Mac OS 9.1 -- the site
that was not working for me, Yahoo! mail, is now functioning properly.

Comment 22

[Kathleen :Brade]

Resolve this as worksforme per bug reporter.
Bugs having to do with dialogs should be filed separately (if not already filed).
