Ubuntu :: Thunderbird Won't Open Http Links In Browser / Only Https

Apr 30, 2010

When I click on an http link in Thunderbird, nothing at all happens. There's no error message on the console, there's no new browser starting, and there's no new tab opening with the browser already running.

I've tried: sudo update-alternatives --config x-www-browser, choosing firefox.I've also tried: adding a new string value to Thunderbird's warranty-voiding config: network.protocol-handler.app.http, with a value of /usr/bin/firefox. This was recommended in various threads.But no luck.There's an entry for https - firefox on the Attachment tab of the preferences, and https links are indeed opening in Firefox. But not http.KDE 4.4.2 itself has default mail client and browser set to Thunderbird 3.0.4 and Firefox 3.6.3 (both from the repositories, no website downloads).

Red Hat / Fedora :: HTTP Links In Thunderbird Doesn't Work

Jun 29, 2011

after updating to fedora 15, the http links in Thunderbird doesn't work.I have tried many solutions, but without result.
- in prefs.js add :user_pref("network.protocol-handler.app.ftp", "/usr/bin/firefox");
user_pref("network.protocol-handler.app.http", "/usr/bin/firefox");
user_pref("network.protocol-handler.app.https", "/usr/bin/firefox");- I have tried it with KDE and GNOME.
- move .thunderbird to .thunderbird.backup and reopen thunderbird. But still same problem.
- When I create a new user it works correctly! So I think it must be related to the update.
- I also change the default application (in System Settings) to google-chrome and Opera. But no result.
- http-links in other application (dolphin, nautilus, ...) works correctly

Fedora :: Open Firefox - Get Really Strange HTTP And HTTPS Connections Showing Up In Firestarter

Oct 22, 2009

I've noticed that when I open firefox I get really strange HTTP and HTTPS connections showing up in firestarter (which as I understand it is just a GUI for IPtables). They connect to various bits of a site listed as 1e100.net (when you use "lookup hostnames") such as wy-in-f18.1e100.net, they stay connected all the time as far as I can see unless I close firefox. I've heard people say they are connected to Google, but I can close all tabs after loging out of google and still see them... it's very odd.

Ubuntu :: Getting Thunderbird To Open Links With Chromium?

Jan 19, 2011

I'm having trouble getting Thunderbird to open links using Chromium (chromium-browser).

The default browser is now set to chromium-browser in KDE system settings. I've also tweaked the Thunderbird config network.protocol-handler.app.http and https settings to use chromium-browser or /usr/bin/chromium-browser.

Despite this, Thunderbird keeps opening links in Firefox. I'm bewildered as to why.

One thought is possibly an old GNOME system setting (there are .gconf and .gnome2 directories in my home directory, though I no longer use GNOME or have it installed on my system). But I don't know and I would have thought the Thunderbird config would have overridden that in any case.

Fedora :: Thunderbird 3.0.4 Won't Open Browser On URL Click

Dec 21, 2009

Just in the past few days, after I installed a recent spate of updates, my Thunderbird stopped opening up URLs from within an email into a browser window.I'm using F12 and just updated to the latest Thunderbird 3.0.4 on the 9th. But things didn't get weird just then. Perhaps it was the update to Firefox on the 16th when I got 3.5.6 that did it. Firefox still opens up a window from my RSS feed reader (Liferea) just fine but Thunderbird can't open diddly unless I manually copy the link location and paste it into the browser window.

Ubuntu :: Links Browser Script - Automatically Fills In The Credentials On The Links Login Page?

Dec 6, 2010

At my Uni, we use a web-based login for our internet connections. Its based off of Cisco, and every Wednesday night every computer on campus must re-enter their credentials to use the network.

Normally on my several computers I simply pull up the Terminal, point links to google.com using

Code:

And enter my credentials when Cisco redirects to the login page.

Literally, the process is

Code:

Then ENTER to accept the redirect, down arrow to skip over the logo image, USERNAME, ENTER, PASSWORD, ENTER, ENTER.

Naturally, this is EXTREMELY time consuming, as I have about 5 computers located around campus and must physically walk to the machines and login every single week.

My question is, How would I formulate a program that does the following;

1) checks for connectivity (i.e. is able to reach/resolve to the greater part of the internet) and

2) automatically fills in the credentials on the links login page?

Ubuntu :: Https Works - Http Doesn't ?

Sep 7, 2010

I have my Linux laptop running Katatonic Koala at the moment. It is connected via CAT5 to a switch. The switch then connects to my router. All five of my computers are connected to the switch, actually. The only one that won't talk to any sites other than https secure sites is the Linux box. I am not well-versed in the inner workings of Linux and need some help in what I need to do so that regular http sites work. You guys always have the right anwers so I will wait humbly for your replies.

Red Hat / Fedora :: Parse Links From Authenticated HTTPS Page?

Can anyone advise on the possible (and best) ways to go about this? Perl? wget? curl? I haven't been able to find any clear-cut documentation so far concerning the aforementioned -- if anyone has some favorite tutorials on parsing web data that would also be useful.

Server :: HTTP To HTTPS On The Same Port ?

I want to ENABLE SSL on a PORT 2222 :

Now this works fine. But I also want the HTTP URL to work and redirect it to HTTPS.

When I visit http://IP:2222 I get :

Quote:

Bad Request

Your browser sent a request that this server could not understand.

Reason: You're speaking plain HTTP to an SSL-enabled server port.

Instead use the HTTPS scheme to access this URL, please.

Hint: [url]

How should I make this request of [url] CT to [url]

Server :: Https And Http For One Domain Name ?

Mar 9, 2011

I'm using a box running CentOS 5.5 powered with Apache2. In this machine I hosted several domains and sub domains, managed by Apache's virtual host.

Due to security issue, one sub domain needs to be able to be accessed either using http or https.

My question is: Is it possible to set a sub domain to be able to be reached using both http and https? If it's possible, how to make it happens?

Networking :: Forward All Http/https Requests ?

May 12, 2010

I have a server (Fedora 12) setup at a client's datacenter and the network is setup to allow me ssh access into the server, but prevents me from opening any connections from the server. However, I need to make http and https request from the server. What I'd like to do is forward all http/https traffic through another machine outside the network.

I've been looking at the documentation for ssh and the various options there and have gotten so far as to enable initiating an ssh connection from the client network back to my machine, but am not sure where to take it from there.

Here are some of the commands I've used so far:

Code:

I'm attempting to bind port 80 to be forwarded through the local machine. I assume I use "ssh -R" to create a dynamic tunnel to forward requests but I must be missing something.

By the way, root login via ssh is disabled.

General :: Configure Iptables For Only HTTP And HTTPS Traffic

Aug 11, 2011

I am trying to configure iptables for only HTTP and HTTPS traffic. I start by blocking all traffic, which works, via:

Code:
iptables -F
iptables -P INPUT DROP
iptables -P FORWARD DROP
iptables -P OUTPUT DROP

I then try to allow HTTP and HTTPS on eth0 with these commands, which does not work:

Code:
iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 80 -m state --state NEW,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT
iptables -A OUTPUT -o eth0 -p tcp --sport 80 -m state --state ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT

Code:
iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 443 -m state --state NEW,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT
iptables -A OUTPUT -o eth0 -p tcp --sport 443 -m state --state ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT After these commands I should be able to access the internet. Does anyone know why this is not working?

Security :: BigBlueButton - From HTTP To HTTPS Reverse Proxy

Sep 17, 2010

I am working on a project to create a video conferencing environment. For this I use a default installation of BigBlueButton on ubuntu 10.04. One of the main problems here is that it's not safe enough to share classified documents trough this software. It's a simple webserver that uses nginx. What I want to do is make this connection secure.

One of the problems is that I don't only have a connection trough port 80 but it uses the following ports:
Port 80 (HTTP), 1935 (RTMP), 9123 (Desktop sharing).
I would like to use a proxy instead of some tunneling or vpn to do this. Would anyone happen to know anything about squid or another equivalent to do this?

Ubuntu Networking :: Redirect All Http/https/ftp Traffic Through The Remote Proxy?

Apr 6, 2011

I need to redirect all http/https/ftp traffic through the remote proxy, but when I changes connection settings in browser or in System->Preferences->Network Proxy it doesn't work well: instead of getting page content browser asks for saving some short (8 bytes) file with the same content for all requested pages. It happens in Chrome/Opera/Firefox. This proxy requires authorization and works on computer with Windos XP. It worked well when I was using Windows 7 and Proxifier, now I have Ubuntu 9.10 with all available updates.

Server :: Automatic Rewrites Or Something To Change Http Into Https Requests?

Mar 10, 2011

For one project I use a web hosting service. I wanted the entire site to be https, so I bought a service from them in which they automatically install a trusted cert so people can access the site through https protocol. Since http is still available, though, I need to do automatic rewrites or something to change http into https requests. (I don't have access to their Apache server configuration files or anything like that.)I found on the net this code to add to my .htaccess file:

Code:
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI}

Debian Configuration :: Both HTTP And HTTPS On Same Server? (Apache Virtual Hosts)

Oct 30, 2015

How to best manage both http and https pages on the same apache-server without conflicts. For example, if i have both 000-default.conf and 000-default-ssl.conf pointing to mydomain.com, and don't want users who visit mydomain.com without specifically type the https-prefix to be redirected to the https-page - how to handle users using browserplugins such as https-everywhere etc?

Another option would be to create a subdomain ssl.mudomain.com and have users who want to reach the ssl site to have to type ssl. I have tested several things with https everywhere enabled in my own browser, and it seems really hard to make this working the way i want, in one way or another i always end up getting redirected to the ssl-site automatically.

The reason i need this to work is because i run one site that i don't care much about SSL, that is the "official" part of that site, and i also host some things for friends and family on the SSL-part. This would not have been a problem if it wasn't that i use self-signed certificates for my ssl-site and the major user become afraid when a certificate-warning pops up in their browser and therefor leave the site.

Fedora Servers :: Apache - Can't Acces Http Remotely But Https Works

Jan 17, 2010

I have 2 web server in my office : http and https. You will find attached the httpd.conf and ssl.conf. I can acces the https server from home, but not the http one.

What I did :
configure the router to forward port 80 to my fedora 11 machine
open port 80 with system-config-network
created a virtualhost

The same exact steps have been done for port 443

I can access both server locally but only the https server remotelly.

Here are my iptables :

Code:

you can try to acces my servers using [url]

I made httpd to listen to port 8080, and done all the port forwarding/opening stuf, and it works. so is it a bug ?

Finally found my error seams like turning off UseCanonicalName to off did the trick

I really think it's a bug now. It was definitively working last week, I just added content to the main host of my website, and now i can't acces it from port 80. If someone think it's not a bug or find someting missing/wrong in my conf file.

After surfing the interweb and the forums I have tried setting the default browser through Firefox itself and through the preferred applications GUI in Ubuntu with no luck. I have gone into the about:config for Thunderbird and added the following lines:

network.protocol-handler.app.http /usr/bin/firefox
