Issue with HTTP/S and certificates and security prompts

description

It seems in the latest BETA build available for download, when a site has some certificate or credentials prompt Terminals will first display a generic HTML error page "Navigation to the webpage was canceled", if you refresh the page, you get the normal "There is a problem with this website's certificate.", however clicking to continue will simply cycle back to the same certificate issue page. This is repeatable in sites where the certificate issuer is not trusted, certificate subject name is not the same as the address entered, or the site prompts for a username or password.
 
All of these cases were successfull in earlier versions of Terminals, 1.9a and 1.8.
 
Any ideas?

I can verify the above. The only work around I found was to right click on the "continue to this website" and open in a new window.

Same issue here, with the 2.0 version. thanks for the workaround gwkirk.
We have quite a few webportals like HPSIM and HP Bladesystem Onboard Administrator with self signed certificates. But Terminals only shows the security warning about the certicate, but is not able to open the start page, or even go to the login page.

I can confirm, that this is causing an issue.

Its a shame, as this would clearly set it apart from the likes of RoyalTS!

Looking at the change log , I think it is this change - JavaScript Errors in Built-in Browser- suppresed all script errors (see http://terminals.codeplex.com/SourceControl/changeset/changes/94143) that causes this problem .

Unfortunately the security warning dialog is also considered a 'script error' and this is also getting ignored. Changing the browser back to show script errors will display the security warning dialog and allow you to continue, but also means that websites with buggy scripts may be unusable.

Verified this problem is real, we are unable to use terminals for ILO management until the HTTPS issue is resolved.

Voted for fix, thank you for a great product.
