Hmm so there's something else wrong. What browser are you using?

[gandor62]

Windows explorer v7

I have just finished downloading safari, ill see if that changes anything

[gandor62]

Hmmm you were right. Safari shws books perfectly. SO something in explorer is blocking me.... ill fiddle with settings, at least I know its my end.....

Thanks

[gandor62]

Well I can get the Catalogue up with Safari running as default browser with no problems. But totally unable to get with microsoft IE v7. Also Stanza says catalog is empty when trying to access from the iPod Touch.

With IE 7 I do get the calibre logo and the search box etc but no books shown as they do in safari. I played with everything to try to resolve. Ill keep trying different things, who knows one day maybe. LOL

Oh Im also running Windows Live Care antivirus etc. I have a feeling that may be interfering, as I have tried almost everything I can think of, it seems to do its own thing most of the time and totally irritates me. Be going in the bin soon.

Do you have any books in the ePub format in your library?

BOb

[simond]

Yes, that's what I convert pretty much all my books to, will try the latest later and file a ticket.

Script error in IE6, fine in firefox though.

Doesn't work with IE

Works great for me but I would much prefer if it didn't ask for a username and password... while telling me the username it expects.

Why? Just use a password of twice the normal length.

Well, aside from the "security concern" (people concerned about security generally don't allow webservers in an unknown patch/config state to be exposed on the outside of their network, and I access my box over ipsec VPN only), it just seems kind of odd to ask for the username while printing out the username.

There is no security concern, since as I said the security is just a function of the length of the unknown string, whether that string is split up into two parts or not is immaterial. In fact, the reason I print out the username is to emphasize that fact, as well as to emphasize that the library is shared between users. I wish there was a way to get browsers to just prompt for a key instead of a username and password, but...

Ah, I see. You could use a different authentication method, perhaps something embedded in the page with/without cookies?
