Please try the latest build

[Michael Drake]

Hello,

Could people please test build #4403 or later? (Or build from
latest master, if you compile from source.)

https://ci.netsurf-browser.org/builds/

We are close to making a release, and would like to check that
nothing is broken.

I am particularly interested to hear from anyone who can run
the following platforms:

- Amiga
- Atari
- Haiku
- RISC OS
- Windows

We have just changed the way that HTTP authentication works,
so I would be grateful if people could check that anything
that requires an HTTP basic auth login still works with the
latest build.

If you don't know any sites which use HTTP authentication,
you can use:

https://httpbin.org/basic-auth/foo/bar

(Where "foo" is the username, and "bar" is the password,
and you can change the "correct" username and password
by changing the URL.)

However, testing with real-world sites is better.

Please try entering the incorrect credentials, the correct
credentials, and canceling the login, by closing the login
window.


Note: the Windows build doesn't yet support HTTP auth, so
for that platform, I'm just looking for a general
indication of whether the browser functions.


Cheers,

[Martin Avison]

All seems to work here (on RISC OS) as expected on both the test site
and my own site.

by closing the login window.

One minor point is that there is no 'Close' icon on the login window,
just a Cancel button.

I've downloaded the RISC OS version of #4003, and all looks well so far.

I can log into the foo bar site, and also RComp's ARMX6 password-protected
page, so that looks good.

Many thanks to the developers,

Best wishes,

Which platform are you testing on?

What exactly did you do?

Can you send me the log file for the crash.

Just spotted this! It needs to be #4403 or later.

Please could you try with #4403 or the latest one
(currently #4405).

Cheers,

Ah, was your message ahead of build updates, perhaps? I updated within
seconds of the message!

Anyway, now running Win 7, VRPC, RISC OS 4.02, NetSurf #4405 - now appears
to be functioning correctly.

Please try entering the incorrect credentials, the correct
credentials, and canceling the login, by closing the login
window.

Using newly installed #4405 here on ArmX6 with Ro5.25.
All the above tests (in that order!) work OK.

Have always thought, though, that it'd be nicer if Netsurf gave some
message when a login is unsuccessful, rather than just repeat the
identical dialogue, which the user can feel is an infinite loop.


Some months ago I reported a site that asked for ONLY a password,
WITHOUT a username. Netsurf failed but other browsers coped, giving a
reduced dialogue box. (That site, for a wedding now past, now gives
only an "under construction" page, but other examples might exist at
www.squarespace.com where it was hosted.)

Dunno if Netsurf's revised code would now cope with this unusual
situation.

Problem arises in testing this: After a successful login, Netsurf
will return to the site without asking again for credentials.

How do we make it forget so that we can try again to see what happens
with bogus credentials?

(Of course no problem if I had more carefully read Michael's
instruction that said to try with incorrect credentials *first*.)

With https://httpbin.org/basic-auth/foo/bar you can
adjust the "correct" credentials by altering the
URL. For example:

https://httpbin.org/basic-auth/elephant/potato

I got one of these but my mail was posted anyway. (see above). I'm confused
(normal state).

Yes, I got one of those too. Why ask for a reply to a closed group to a

I simply sent the e-mail to two mailing lists, so that
it would be seen by people who are only on one of them.

Both are public, but you might not be subscribed to both.

It's best not to post to two or more lists at the same time. Unless the
recipients have done their filtering carefully all the posts could end up
in the first list to be found e.g. if they filter on "To:" rather than
"List-ID:".

Ah! I just chose reply to mail list in Pluto. I've done that now & only see
