      These settings appear to prevent HTTPS web pages from loading coreectly. I'm unable to connect to instagram or my bank when these setting are in place, if I restore the default settings(empty field) and save I can load the aforementioned pages.

      Please see this thread for some more details:
      https://forums.opera.com/topic/9216/opera-12-17-instagram-issue/1

      Could this string be amended to fix this issue please?

      Thank you.

        I've not noticed any problem here.
        This forum is https for me, and works OK, as does my online banking.
        Can't comment on Instagram as I don't use it.
        🙂

          Having just solved this problem for myself (by using wireshark to compare the headers sent by Opera with the headers sent by wget, which does successfully retrieve the image) and then found this thread from googling to see if anyone else had been complaining about it, I feel it is worth posting to clarify a couple of points...

          • It is NOT Opera's fault

          • It IS Photobucket's fault

          Photobucket have misconfigured their servers to react weirdly to the Accept: header. Other sites which do not react weirdly are quite happy with Opera's default Accept: header. It's not Opera doing something wrong, it's Photobucket.

          FWIW I have found that a minimal "Accept: */*" works just fine. Having read this thread I have tested it on twitter (as an example of an HTTPS site) and on Pistonheads, and they both work.

          (Also, to prevent some bug in this forum converting "star slash star" to "weird character like a slash but at a greater inclination, without the stars" it is necessary to insert a backslash before each star.)

            I was able to get things working as they should by restoring a recent back up of my system drive.

              Wow, thanks for the string drewfx, and davehawley for pointing to this issue.
              I added the string with the / at the end, and landed up with my forums temporarily unavailable?
              Deleted the / and pasted:

              image/gif, image/jpeg, image/pjpeg, application/x-ms-application, application/vnd.ms-xpsdocument, application/xaml+xml, application/x-ms-xbap, application/x-shockwave-flash,

              Finally all images seem to work again, even the banner and avatar on my Youtube channel are now visible.
              Have to test it more carefully, but it looks alright.

              With regards

                Glad it worked for you!
                :cheers:
                The */* at the end of the string was added as without it there seemed to be problems with asp pages, although it seemed fine for me without it.
                I added it and everything still seemed to be fine.
                BTW I assume you did include the asterisks before and after the forward slash?
                I only ask because the forum software removes them in posts if you don't put dummy back slashes in front of them! It should be "asterisk-forward slash-asterisk" (without the quotes of course).
                🙂

                  We have a "Formatting with Markdown" thread in "Forum feedback" - revise it, please. Anybody can do just fine with backticks 😛

                    Thanks joshl, but I don't need to be told that thank you very much!
                    I'm well aware of how to use Markdown, I've just never understood why I should have to when every other forum I use you just get what you type!

                      Hi davehawley

                      I added indeed first the asterisks and / at the end, but that caused a problem.
                      (I noticed they didn't show up in my posting which I couldn't edit)
                      Anyway it's still working.

                      The "forum temporarily unavailable error" reappeared.
                      Maybe one of the plugins causes that problem?
                      Disabling all of them restored at least loading.
                      The forums load alright with my other browsers including all plugins.
                      Have to figure that out.

                      Thanks

                        Found another problem
                        On the youtube channel, the banner won't show up under certain conditions.
                        http://i60.tinypic.com/167mo3b.jpg
                        This is what it should be.
                        http://i62.tinypic.com/2mwxfg5.jpg

                        The funny thing is, that it appears correct in the direct bookmark-link,
                        but not if I get to "My channel" in the menulist.

                          Found the latest issue, because "content blocking" was set.

                            Ah, that would have been it!
                            Glad you finally sorted it out.

                                    Thanks Dave. The string resolved the photobucket image display issue on both the fubar and ultimatetemptation web sites.

                                      Since that was bothering me as well.. I just quickly drew a Userscript..
                                      it basically ajax calls the image (accepting nothing but images)
                                      and then adding the images base64 as the source
                                      (since it's quick and dirty.. it only accepts jpegs as it is) feel free to modify.

                                      // ==UserScript==
                                      // @include http://*
                                      // ==/UserScript==
                                      window.fi_aj =function( url, elem )
                                      {
                                      	var xmlhttp;
                                      	elem.src = "images/misc/progress.gif";
                                      	if (window.XMLHttpRequest)
                                      	{// code for IE7+, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari
                                      		xmlhttp=new XMLHttpRequest();
                                      	}
                                      	else
                                      	{// code for IE6, IE5
                                      		xmlhttp=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
                                      	}
                                      	xmlhttp.onreadystatechange=function()
                                      	{
                                      		if (xmlhttp.readyState==4 && xmlhttp.status==200)
                                      		{
                                      			var buffer =  xmlhttp.response;
                                      			if(buffer)
                                      				elem.src = "data:image/jpeg;base64," +  btoa(buffer);
                                      		}
                                      	}
                                      	xmlhttp.open("GET", url ,true);
                                      	xmlhttp.setRequestHeader("Accept","image/*");
                                      	xmlhttp.overrideMimeType('text\/plain; charset=x-user-defined');
                                      	xmlhttp.send();
                                      }
                                      
                                      window.fix_pb = function()
                                      {
                                      	var images = document.getElementsByTagName("img");
                                      	for (var i = 0; i < images.length; i++)
                                      	{
                                      		var url = images[i].src;
                                      		if(url.indexOf("photobucket") > -1)
                                      			window.fi_aj( url, images[i]);
                                      	}
                                      }
                                      
                                      window.addEventListener('load', window.fix_pb);
                                      

                                      AS you can see, very basic functionality... but it works much better than globally editing the ACCEPT
                                      at least for me 😉
