The above problem dates from last summer (2009) and meant that I
normally stayed with Netsurf 2.1 rather than any of the 3.0
development versions.
Unfortunately, I now find that the new 2.5 exhibits the same
problem,
so once again I must retain 2.1 for use with this bank.
I won't add another problem log on the tracker as the one
that's there
says enough (while not mentioning 2.5 of course), but I do wonder if
anyone has an understanding of whether the problem is soluble.
Glad to report that, as of some unknown period before Netsurf
development update "3.0 (Dev) (03 Aug 2010 10:30) r10678", the above
problem has disappeared, AND it has disappeared when using the release
version 2.5! So maybe it's something the Co-op Bank has changed?
I have added a comment to Netsurf Bug tracker ID: 2835477
"Co-op bank login gives SSL error 2009-08-11", but cannot mark the bug
closed if John Williams still has the problem with La Poste. (I have
advised him of this by personal email).
