Hi!
I cannot open codeproject.com web site from my Nokia E7 (Belle, Delight CFW) phone.
Default browser (Nokia Browser 8.3.2.21) claims that web site may be removed and/or renamed and/or blah blah...
Opera Mobile claims that Secure Transaction failed. Maybe some certificate problem...
This problem has appeared some time ago (several months), it seems that this is somehow linked with site https/security changes.
The web site is still available using Opera Mini, but that is somewhat limited...
What I have tried:
1. I have manually installed *.codeproject.com wildcard certificate on the device - nothing has changed.
2. I have tried to change User Agent string in default browser - no changes.
3. I have enabled TLS 1.1 in Opera Mobile 12.0... (disabled by default) - no changes.
In fact I was able to open codeproject.com in Firefox on desktop with TLS version limited to TLS 1.0 but I don't know why mobile browsers cannot open it...

Your browser doesn't support modern certificates and so is unable to view our SSL site.
The latest version of Opera Mobile should (at least I'd expect it to) handle the SSL properly.
FWIW Apple's discontinued Safari on Windows has the same issue. With Google mandating that sites need to be SSL everywhere we have no choice but to move with the times, meaning some older systems will have issues.

Thanks Chris for your answer.
But I think there is no problem with https itself. I can freely open youtube.com over https and have no problems with it at all.
What also I have found using a small bash script is that youtube.com support next set of ciphers with TLS 1.0 (script output, filtered by YES):
Testing ECDHE-RSA-AES256-SHA...YES
Testing AES256-SHA...YES
Testing ECDHE-RSA-AES128-SHA...YES
Testing AES128-SHA...YES
Testing DES-CBC3-SHA...YES
and codeproject.com
Testing ECDHE-RSA-AES256-SHA...YES
Testing DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA...YES
Testing ECDHE-RSA-AES128-SHA...YES
Testing DHE-RSA-AES128-SHA...YES
Using website SSL Cipher Suites Supported By Your Browser[^] from my mobile I have found that connection was established using TLS 1.0 and ciphers
AES128-SHA (Opera Mobile)
AES256-SHA (Nokia Browser)
and both these ciphers are supported by youtube.com and unsupported on codeproject.com
So the question arises... Can support for these ciphers be added on codeproject.com? It seems like youtube (read: Google) has not banned these...

I've passed this on to our network guys

Thank you very much.
Hope it is possible to solve this (I think that from twelve millions users I'm not alone with an older Nokia...).
But regardless the result this was an interesting and informative study anyway

Can you please try again? More ciphers have been added.
cheers

Hi, Chris.
I've tried again to access codeproject.com from my mobile. Nothing has changed...
I have checked available ciphers list using the mentioned script (on Slackware64 14.2, OpenSSL 1.0.2k). It seems (at first sight) that nothing has changed. Again I see support only for four ciphers when using TLS 1.0. And those again are
ECDHE-RSA-AES256-SHA
DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA
ECDHE-RSA-AES128-SHA
DHE-RSA-AES128-SHA in comparison with m.youtube.com (ciphers in which I'm interested are highlighted)
ECDHE-RSA-AES256-SHA
AES256-SHA
ECDHE-RSA-AES128-SHA
AES128-SHA
DES-CBC3-SHA
Below you can see the script' output for codeproject.com, m.youtube.com and youtube.com servers both with protocol auto selection and TLS 1.0 selected manually. Only ciphers available on web server are logged. I've highlighted ciphers in which I'm interested...

So you're after:

ECDHE-RSA-AES128-SHA
DHE-RSA-AES128-SHA
Is that correct?

No, the mentioned ciphers are already supported by codeproject.com.
I need support for
AES256-SHA
AES128-SHA but these are not available on codeproject.com.

Hi, Chris!
Do you have any news for me? Maybe an "official" refuse? ))
|
|
|
|

Can you please try again now?
cheers

Hi, Chris!
For now both Nokia browser and Opera Mobile 12 can open codeproject.com website and everything works like a charm!
Thank you very much for your support!

Good to hear.

I did not receive emails for the last 4 comments to article:
PDF File Writer C# Class Library (Version 1.19.1 Enhancement: Document links)
The same problem exists for all my articles. In total 7 comment starting at the beginning of December. It is unfortunate and embarrassing.
In other words, no emails equals no answers.

I reported it 4 days ago but not reply.
It does happen about once a year. Last time the answer was "System kicked". It did help. I hope it will be kicked again.

On a user's profile page, the "Tech Blogs", "Articles" and "Tips/Tricks" links all link to /Articles/{username}#section.
But when there is a duplicate username, it picks the wrong user.
For example, KevinNg[^] (member 12960852) links to the page for kevinng[^] (member 1170924).
The same problem applies to the "@" link at the top of the profile page.

I noticed my discussion posts get flagged as spam for a while. I wanted to ask 'why' and apparently there is no "Contact us" link.
The only way of discovering the limits of the possible is to venture a little way past them into the impossible.

Blame Thomas Bayes[^]. 
As I understand it, there's no fixed set of rules for what is and isn't flagged as spam. Instead, the system uses Bayesian probability to compare your message to previous messages, and decide how likely it is to be flagged as "spam". If the system thinks it's too similar to previous "spam" messages, it gets added to the moderation queue.

That doesn't explain the absence of "Contact us" link though.

Do you want the messages deleted?
