I see "omniweb-3.0-OSM-NIS.gnutar.gz" located here and it works great in OS 4.2

"http://www.nextcomputers.org/NeXTfiles/Software/OPENSTEP/Apps/Internet/WWW/Web%20Browsers/Omniweb/

Under 'Plugins' at that directory I see HTTPS plugins which ONLY support Omniweb 3.0 beta7 and beta8.

I cannot find Omniweb beta7 or 8 ANYWHERE. So I can't do HTTPS.

Anyone have a solution?  Thank you!

I use OmniWeb 3.1rc2 with the HTTPS plugin version 1.09b. When searching for a download of this I found out that the author made the plugin Opensource and published the source code of version 1.09c on sourceforge.net. You can find it here (http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=32848).

If this is not working I can try to find the original packages and send them to you.

Morgon, yes I found it at the link you have:

http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=32848

but it appears to be the source only.  I cannot compile it since I do not have the Openstep 4.2 developer CD.

Do you have the ability to compile this?

Sorry, although I'm working under OpenStep 4.2 I have only NS 3.3 developer installed.

Morgon was kind enough to provide the HTTPS 1.09b package to me, and it seems to work just fine with OmniWeb 3.1rc2.  Yeah!  :)  Here are the downloads if anyone needs this:

http://home.comcast.net/~currygoat101/OpenStep/HTTPS/HTTPS.1.09b.m.NIS.b.tar.gz
http://home.comcast.net/~currygoat101/OpenStep/HTTPS/OpenSSL.0.9.5a.m.NIS.b.tar.gz

you can get OmniWeb 3.1rc2 from:

How good is omniweb 3.1 at rendering websites? With http working, will is load up gmail and what not? Have any screen shots of it running? My NeXT is running NS3.3 right now, when I convert it to a CF card, I plan on upgrading to OS4.2... Curious to see how well the OS4.2 only versions of omniweb work :)

helf:

OmniWeb 3.1rc2 renders websites 'fairly well'. Obviously, complex sites are going to throw it off.

Gmail DOES work. When I open gmail, I get a choice where gmail asks me if I want to ignore javascript and display in html only. If you choose that link, my Inbox loads just fine. I can compose/read etc.  At the top it says 'For a better Gmail experience, upgrade your browser'.
