[CLUE-Tech] Mozilla 0.7 SSL Not working RH6.2 (was Netscape 6 on ML CD-ROM)

[Jim Intriglia]

Hi Match-

Thanks for that info. Downloaded Mozilla 0.7 and installed via RPM. Mozilla 
0.7 looks pretty snazzy, and the Mozilla site is a hell of a lot better 
organized as compared to Netscapes, when it comes to support.

However..

OK - deleted Netscape 6 and .Mozilla sub-directories, installed Mozilla 0.7 
via RPM (running build 2001020313) and it boots OK.. but..

Not the version I'm running as aforementioned. I get a "connection refused" 
message when I try to access https (such a Yahoo mail - Secure or even 
Hotmail (login) for that matter.

I've begun going through the know issues on Mozilla.org for this release, 
and it does mention some knowm problems with TLS SSL. (Note: the directions 
to turn off TLS are out of date, as the instructions do not correspond to 
what I'm seeing on the drop-down menu).

Did that with no problem.

As you are running https and perhaps accessing Hotmail, any ideas on what is 
causing the "connection refused" problem? I'll continue to read-through the 
Mozilla site for a clue.
