89095 - cannot log into Hotmail

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Tom]

I can't log into my Hotmail account with Mozilla 0.9.1 or 0.9.2.
When Hotmail bounces me over to the "login" page at something like
http://lc1.law13.hotmail.passport.com/cgi-bin/login 
and I enter my user name and password and click "Sign in", nothing
happens.  Well, it says "Done (0.013 secs)" in the status bar; the
time changes a little every now and then suggestion that something
actually did get submitted.

Looks like you didn't get PSM which is required for https sites like hotmail.

Recommends: mozilla-psm (=2:0.9.1-4)

That's it :)
If you are using new mozilla's from unstable (sid), you need mozilla-psm package
to get crypto support.
