Has anyone else experienced this?
Using NetSurf 13 May 2006 10:15 and ROS 5.11 on an Iyonix Aria Cube,
although it's also done it for the past few versions of NS too.
Yes, same set up, but only once!

Hi
I am trying to use webmail to fetch email from our university server
(ethernet connection) and NetSurf. I am unable to login due to lack of
security of NetSurf. Apparently user name and password are passed
unscrambled which is not allowed here. Is there any secure shell or
similar for the excellent and very fast (on the Iyonix) browser. Will be
very grateful for any suggestion

Assuming you mean https://webmail.uio.no/ then it requires SSL, which the
full build of NetSurf has supported for a very long time. However, I
believe SquirrelMail is known not to work with NetSurf due to the way we
currently handle cookies. Additionally, NetSurf's cookie handling is
completely broken at present.

Despite cookie handling being broken in current versions of Netsurf I
use a trick to access my Google mail account, and have done
successfully for several months. I wonder if you could do something
similar to access your SquirrelMail account?
I keep a very old version of Netsurf which I use to log in on the rare
occasion that the GMail cookie expires (at least I assume that's what
happens). Having logged in successfully I revert to using an up to
date version of NetSurf, because it is superior in every respect
except cookie handling.

It's not quite this simple - SquirrelMail's interface uses frames (or, at
the very least, embedded HTML objects). NetSurf currently doesn't send
cookies for embedded page objects regardless of whether the object is
being fetched from the same server as the containing document. This is the
issue with SquirrelMail (aside from the other broken cookies stuff). I
intend to fix all of this as part of my reimplementing cookies. I won't
be touching it again until the 14th of June at the earliest, however - I
have the minor detail of university finals to deal with between now and
then.

I am unable to access my Staffmail (webmail) account at Edinburgh
University via NetSurf. Staffmail uses IMP rather than SquirrelMail. Is
cookie handling likely to be to blame in this case, too?
