(Closed) Midori does not connect to secure websites

Post by san2ban »

hello
Whenever I have to do internet banking, through Midori if I try to connect to my banking website iobnet, which is https, midori says SSL hand shake failed. I searched the forums, where there was a single post on LQ, asking that in XFCE, gnome services be enabled. I tried that too. But, midori simply cannot connect to banking secure websites.

Alas, where as Firefox does connect immediately.
Can some body throw a light on this? Other wise, I will have to uninstall midori, which does notserve my purpose. But I like midori

I have uninstalled sakis3G, claws E-mail, considering them as waste packages. Third would be midori

When you have eliminated all other possibilities, whatever remains, however impossible or improbable, that must be the truth

It's not midori. It's your bank.

For some weird reason, several banks are notorious for requiring very specific browsers (and versions of browsers) to work with their internet banking pages. I know there is at least one bank in my country that doesn't work with anything other than internet explorer and they have no intention of changing this. Yours seems a bit better, since it at least works with firefox. It could probably work with midori too, if you changed the user agent ID. Most of the times that's all it takes.

Midori has no problem connecting to https locations.
