Ive tried this with 2 different configurations on linux/gtk. Both of them will load http sites just fine but neither of them will load https sites. eclipse 3.1M3 Mozilla 1.4 IBM jvm 1.4.2 eclipse 3.1M3 Mozilla 1.7 SUN jvm 1.4.2
The SWT Browser doesn't set up a Mozilla profile, so the default is under the Mozilla install directory (e.g., /usr/lib/mozilla). When navigating to a site using https, Mozilla writes various files in the profile (key3.db, cert8.db, and secmod.db). For a non-root user, the profile directory is read-only, so this fails. As root, https may work. If not, there may be yet something else missing to support https.
Ron, I tried running eclipse as root and https still doesnt work :( I'm going to try to have a look at this if i have time this week though im not familiar with the swt browser widget code base. If you have any suggestions as to where the problem may be im all ears :)
fixed v>20050203 It is now possible to use the SWT Browser with the HTTPS Eclipse bugzilla (I'm closing this very PR through the SWT Browser). Support is minimal - preferences, passwords are not persisted after the application exits etc. but that's a start. bug 83420 captures related feature requests. Thanks to Darin Fisher, Javier Pedemonte from Mozilla and other IBMers (Ron Capelli) for discussions and feedback on the different ways support can be added. Further HTTPS issues will be opened in separate PRs.
Reopened. M5 testing shows the profile support as currently implemented is causing crashes bug 85662. HTTPS support is disabled as a result until a better implementation can be provided.

Is there any plans to address this in 3.2? Currently I'm seeing this issue on RH EL3 with Mozilla 1.7.10. Using HTTPS fails (should prompt about a mismatched SSL cert). The browser just displays a completely blank page without any obvious error. All works fine for HTTP (or HTTPS on Windows with IE). I've run it as root with the same behavior. Any suggestions for a workaround?
It is planned to revisit this for 3.2. There aren't any suggested workarounds at this point.
I've verified that cloning an initial profile as opposed to creating a new one still results in lots of eclipse crashes, so it still looks like a way is needed to display https without using a profile at all.
We are investigating bug 132500 which requires a profile. Fixing that bug would, we believe, fix this one as well.
It appears a fix for bug 132500 has been found but that it will not appear until 3.2.1 or 3.3. Has anyone been able to confirm if that changes also fixes this bug?
It does, and also bug 91348.
Fixed > 0623 in HEAD on linux-gtk, linux-gtk-64 and linux-motif. Note that since this is fixed as a side effect of the fix for bug 132500, this fix will likely appear in 3.2.1 as well, so marking the target milestone accordingly.
Excellent! For Linux users this was killing Mylar's browser integration for repositories that like https (e.g. Bugzilla and Trac).
*** Bug 133645 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
FYI: This functionality will likely be disabled in tomorrow's integration build because it has been causing the unit tests of some other plugins to fail (unless a fix can be found quickly).
To update, an updated fix for this has been released to HEAD, so it should appear in the next integration build.
this fix has been added to the 3.2.1 stream
I retested with the latest AST driver (contains the fix of 80033). I still don't see the https get displayed. When I try to bring up admin console from AST server view, I got a meaasge window: 8/30/06 16:00:51:426 EDT] 0000002e SSLHandshakeE E SSLC0008E: Unable to initialize SSL connection. Unauthorized access was denied or security settings have expired. Exception is javax.net.ssl.SSLException: javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: Received fatal alert: bad_certificate. The internal browser does not show. If I configure to use the external browser, it works fine.
