I have a very simple code that loads pages. It fails on this page though. https://www.tab.com.au
It renders this page as gray and nothing in in. This also happens if I load google, and search for the url and then click on it through the search results.

my code is simple, as below and loads all other pages I have tried without issues.

Url = InputBox("URL?")
WebControl1.WebView.Url = Url

Tabbed browser - Same outcome, gray screen no rendered page.

I can confirm I have access to the page, through all other browsers without any issues.

After some further investigation, I have found that the issue is that my application has stopped rendering this website after installing the latest update; 17.3.13.0. I can also confirm that this website throws up a certificate error if not handled. I have seen some posts regarding this before version 17.2.43. Which I believe is being "suppressed" in the latest update if looking at other posts here is an indication. This has now caused these further issues.

1. In the previous version of E.O. Webbrowser, EO.Total.2017.1.76.0, I handled the certificate error and the page loaded OK. Now it does not. This is regardless if I have the certificate error handler in or out.

2. I also access this site using the thread-runner, it only returns the pre-rendering code NOT the actual HTML that renders the webpage (the whole point of having the E.O. webview) and again the code worked pre-instaling the new update.




other threads on support indicates that there is no way to handle the error in the thread-runner; is this correct? If not can you suggest a solution of how to handle the certificate error in the above code?

Further I have re-installed the previous version of E.O. Total I had before: (EO.Total.2017.1.76.0) In this instance the tabbed Browser sample throws up the unhandeled Certificate error:


and I can get the page to load through my EO webbrowser if I handle the error.

By the way the certificate error message is a "-214" if handled and pops up before the page finally renders. You could also try https://www.tab.com.au/racing/meetings/today/R as this has several of those same errors.

OK thanks, I can't give you a website at the moment that behaves the same as the website I have an issue.

Further 1:

Is the Error -214 being suppressed in the current version? Because it is not being thrown, the page simply does not render. In the older version the error is thrown (which is how I found what it was) and can be handled at least in the browser. If it is suppressed will you revert to the previous state once you update to the new version of chromium ? Or will it be that the error simply will not be an issue so the suppression code wont be triggered?

EDIT: An observation In regards to the above issue, I have found some other pages that throw the error in the older version, (https://www.verisign.com) but these render OK in the new version, without the error being thrown. That leads me to think that the error is being suppressed somehow ?

Further 2:

I had to revert to EO.Total.2017.1.76.0, where at least I can view the page with the error being handled by me. This however brings up the question you didn't confirm previously:

Using the code below, with threadrunner, can I handle the error, or is this not possible? If possible can you suggest a solution of how to handle the certificate error in the below code?

Dim threadRunner As New EO.WebBrowser.ThreadRunner()
Dim webView As EO.WebBrowser.WebView = threadRunner.CreateWebView()
s = threadRunner.Send(Function()
webView.LoadUrl(url).WaitOne(10000)
Return webView.GetHtml
End Function)

Thank you for your assistance

Thanks, as you said, we'll see what happens with the new release. In the meanwhile I reverted back and handled the error through the error handler on both the form webbrowser and the threadrunner webview and it all works now.

I include the code for the threadrunner just in case someone might find it useful
