Hello EO Team.
We are just evaluating the webbrowser component. We currently use the IE Webbrowser Control but we have to switch to a "more actual" component, that ist supported by Windows XP.

I would need information about the certificate, that is used by the remote web server. Is there any chance to get more information than just the certificate error?

An issue is also the already mentioned problems with Youtube (fullscreen) and the flash slowdown.

Best Regards,
Michael

Hi,

I am not sure if I understand your question correctly. If a certificate error occurs, the CertificateError event will be raised. Inside the event handler you can check the event argument's ErrorCode to determine what kind of certificate error it is. See here for more details:

Thanks!

Hi,
thank you for your fast reply!

I would need Information about the certificate. The Webbrowser Control fires an event, if a secure connection is used (https) with some encryption information. I would need the information about the used certificate whenever a secure connection is used. (Event and certification information).

If you go to a https-URL with chrome, you get certification info when you right-click on left beside the url.

Best regards,
Michael

Hi,

I see. I do not think we have any interface for you to view that yet in the current build. But we will look into it and see if it is easy for us to expose it. If it is easy for us to expose it, we can maybe add a property or method on the WebView class for you to get the certificates used for the current page.

Thanks!

Were you able to add it? I tried to use IntelliSense with VB.net, but I didn't see it.

Hi,

This is just to let you know that we have posted a new build (23.3.84) that added this method:

https://www.essentialobjects.com/doc/eo.webbrowser.webview.getsslstatus.html

If the current page is not loaded through an HTTPS connection, then it will return null. Otherwise it returns the status and SSL server certificate.

Thanks!
