Unknown SSL protocol
by John Williams (address)
Sometime after r8950 - 1st Aug 2009, accessing my French bank results in
this error at the password box appearing stage:
Sorry, NetSurf was unable to display this page
Unknown SSL protocol error in connection to
voscomptesenligne.labanquepostale.fr:443
- so something changed after that version.

NetSurf and Printing
by Dave Symes
Has anyone else had problems printing from the recent releases of NetSurf,
up to and including todays 30 April r10528?
It will print the page, but then Errors out and dies, presenting the usual
Log file (I still have stored).
This happens with the past number of versions, including the 2.5 release.
The 9 Jan r9799 version which I've retained to fall back on, prints the
same pages perfectly okay.

A BBC page failing to load.
by Dr Peter Young
Could someone please try this for me, before I think about submitting
a bug request, in case I'm doing something silly?
Trying to load http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/womanshour (I was trying to
download the podcast for S(WMBO)+(WILAC) ) NetSurf r10504 on RISC OS
5.16 gets stuck on this machine with the little NetSurf hourglass
running at the stage of "converting **** bytes" (the number is about
5000 -8000 and varies). I've waited for over a minute, and nothing
gets loaded. All the other BBC programme sites I've tried work as they
should do.
The same thing happens with 2.0, and with 1.2 it gets up to about
"converting 16000 bytes, and then stops with no hourglass. NetSurf
then refuses to quit; I had to use CloseFiles to close the logfile
before I could save it, which I have done.
I think I blame the BBC rather than NetSurf; is it worth a bug report?
It loads fine in Windows Firefox, by the way.
With best wishes,
Peter.

Netsurf.Page.Export.PDF
by Brian
Hi
After using the current Netsurf(25/04/10)r10482 I tried to export the
webpage as a PDF.
I went into the export.PDF stage and dragged the file to a directory
but the file isn't deposited and it doesn't seem to have been saved.
Though it gives the impression it had.
I tried exporting as a DRAW and TXT file and that worked and shows in
a directory, but not a PDF.
Has this option been disabled?

Unknown SSL Protocol
by Anthony Hilton
I have been using version 2.1 for most of the year since it was
released and have been using it for online banking.
I have downloaded all the RISC OS development versions this month
(including r10487 26 May 2010) as well as v2.5 and they all report
"Unknown SSL Protocol error" when I go to my bank's login page.
Further testing of the development versions I have shows that r7539 23
May 2009 allows login, r9563 09 September 2009 reports the error.
Every development version I have since r9563 (not many until this
month) also reports the error.
I have preserved a log from r10487 where the only activity was open my
Hotlist and then my bank login page (8000 bytes, 1633 bytes when
zipped). Should I put this on the bug tracker with log attached?
and/or send the log file to someone?

NetSurf 2.5 still steals memory
by Russell Hafter - Lists
Seeing the information on Netsurf 2.5 I got the impression
that the memory theft problem had been sorted.
Leaving it on www.xe.com for about 60 minutes this morning
nevertheless reduced available memory from 47028k to 28k.
And in case it is useful, RPC, Strongarm, RO4.02.
