Okay, I found the culprit, but it isn't pretty.
The Web Revlet is not processing the SSL connections correctly for some reason. This is causing most of the problems, as it looks like LC never connects. The error only appears when you check "result" instead of "it". The exact error message, using the HTTPS address for Google (
Which I cannot type in here because I do not have permission to type in links or domain references. What is up with that?) is reproduced below:
Code: Select all
error -Error with certificate at depth: 1 issuer = /C=US/O=VeriSign, Inc./OU=Class 3 Public Primary Certification Authority subject = /C=ZA/O=Thawte Consulting (Pty) Ltd./CN=Thawte SGC CA err 20:unable to get local issuer certificate
It of course, works fine when you use http vice https.
This is a rather serious bug -
who can afford to send any kind of sensitive information over a clear connection?
This problem is most likely a showstopper if there is no plan to fix it. I hate that.
The other problem I found was the "ask password clear " command causes whatever the user enters to be inverted - when running from an Revlet. Like the above SSL issue, it works fine from a standalone or on a iPad/iPhone.
What is the proper way to get these annoying bugs addressed? Should I use one of the "Quick Response" tech support incidents or is there is a better way?
I am really digging LC, and really like how it gets out of the way and lets you work with getting an App out the door. Unfortunately, the need to support a bit of Web stuff is critical.
Help?
