Classic HTTPS/SSL with Classic Nook

cdstech69 · 02-15-2011, 10:05 AM

I connect with no issues to a wireless network on a college campus, however when the page https://1.1.1.1/login attempts to display, it never comes up.

On other devices when you first visit the page you are asked to accept a certificate.

If I understand correctly the nook does not work with self signed certificates, is this true?

Any information, links, other forums or posts that you can submit that will help me is GREATLY appreciated.

Thanks

Mike

I don't know about the SSL issue, but I do know that the classic Nook's browser can have problems with web pages.

For example, I cannot pick up my email using my host's (1and1.com) webmail website. The website tells me I am not using a proper browser, and the Nook's browser will not even enable me to press the OK button that is there in the message dialog on the screen, so I am permanently stuck there. This is very frustrating because I know that the Nook works with Gmail.

Of course, this may be a blessing in disguise. I find it so painful to do any browsing with the classic Nook that it may be a good thing I cannot get my email using it.
