Hello, Well as the developer of gpe-mini-browser I can tell you it does if you compile libcurl with some SSL support. (either openSSL or GNUTLS). However this does not happen automatically in OE. This might be added later. The main reason why it is not used atm is space. As cookies are not working yet, HTTPS is quite useless. So we do not want the extra dependencies etc.. I have been recently trying to get the cookie support to work, but until now I have failed. (gtk-webcore being c++ and I not having really great c++ skills neither any real knowledge of all those particularities. Work and progress on it is slow.) Cookie parsing kind of works, however they don't seem to be used so website usually assume the browser refuses cookies. > It is actually in the wishlist. (please correct me if i'm wrong) It is indeed... And I really hope that some day I can pull it off... > > I'd like to use the captive portal redirection engine of my FON router > > with gpe-mini-browser, which doesn't work now... A version with an SSL enabled libcurl should make this work for you, unless you run in trouble with cookie handling as mentioned above.
