Hello.

i'm using dillo (3.0.5) as the default web-browser, and often this seems
to be just the right choice. However, when accessing certain sites with
https, i was confronted with an empty window with apparently no errors.
Had to ressort to Lynx or Firefox in these cases.
Eventually the only related error-message showed up (on stderr), it was
from SSL23_get_server_hello, which got a "handshake failure alert".
Comparing TCP-packets and playing around with "openssl s_client..."
revealed, that these servers demanded a 'Server Name Indication' to be
included in the ClientHello. Now, this could be easily fixed... (patch
attached).

kind regards

peter

PS:

By the way, i just submitted a patch for the FileChooser in FLTK 1.3/1.4
to fltk.org. It ensures, that the name of a file to be saved is kept,
when changing directories. (You certainly noticed, that in Dillo the
name of a downloaded file is erased, when you try to save it to another
directory than the initially presented).
I had submitted the essentially same patch for FLTK 2.0 on October 2010,
when using Dillo 2.x. It seems to be incorporated some time later, but i
don't know if it was already available to any Dillo 2.x build.

And: Dillo 3.0.5 can be built and run with FLTK 1.4 without any other
changes than to allow the use of 1.4 in configure[.ac]
