readurl from Korea

[admin]

Here is a strange one. This script does not work anymore from Korea (or from Korean Windows?) from the 64-bit version (no info about the 32-bit version):

Code: Select all

text readurl("https://www.xyplorer.com/version.php?bit=64");

The error is "URL not found. Error #12057". Same problem with this:

Code: Select all

text readurl("https://www.xyplorer.com/version.php");

I'm not sure exactly when it started, but it must have been just recently. The problem also affects the command Help | Online Support | Check for Updates which doesn't work anymore from Korea.

Can you confirm the issue, Koreans?

Any ideas anybody?

12057 is a revocation check failure. Seems the certificate revocation server is not reachable but if it's a regional filtering, ISP firewalling or a DNS issue...

For testing, disable "Check for server certificate revocation", e.g. look here how it's done: https://genopro.com/ssl/

The user who reported this has no problems to show https://www.xyplorer.com/version.php?bit=64 in his browser. It just doesn't work from XY.

If just recently, let him download an older portable x64 version to test. If they don't fail, TB has done something weird...

Could it have started with your hosting provider change, browser certificate lists can be different that OS's.

That's my theory too. But so far, I've only received two user reports from Korea. It can't just be that country. And they can reach the URL https://www.xyplorer.com/version.php?bit=64 with the browser without problems, just not from XYplorer.

I'm working on changing some flags in the calls, but since I can't reproduce the problem, I'm working in the dark. See v28.30.0104.

I just upgraded the SSL certificate of xyplorer.com to Organization Validation (OV). Maybe it helps.
