Opera Mini and Mobile - Problems with secure sites

A Former User

Hello. As of Thursday I can no longer log in to Wall Street Journal sites. I believe they have changed their security protocols. I have tried Mini 7.1.32444, Mini 8.0.35626, and Mobile 12.00.2254. I believe these versions do not support https? Is there a newer version for Nokia Symbian 3 Belle devices? UC Browser does support this for Nokia devices, but Opera browser is much better - or at least it was. Thanks.

@lotuselan, all browsers you mentioned support HTTPS, but the problem might be that the set of ciphersuites is not up to date in Opera Mobile, which was updated ages ago. In case of Mini we handle HTTPS on our servers which we update regularly. Could you please provide an URL which fails and the message you get?

Thanks for the quick response, and of course you are right with respect to https. I don't know why I wrote that, and I have several sites that require that.

So it is a different problem as you said. Here is the address of the login screen. I enter my credentials, and hit submit, and nothing happens. Thanks again for your quick reply.

Thank you for reporting this. It looks more to be a JavaScript problem rather than HTTPS. At the moment I don't have time to investigate this more, so I recommend you use another browser if it works or ask WSJ to fix their site in Opera Mini.

Okay. Thanks. I also discovered problems with other sites. ATT Family Map will not fully load, and this was also working until recently. Perhaps something has changed at the server end? While it is possible to log in, the map never displays. Again, this is only true on Opera browsers. Not sure why.
