ProxomiTron Application Error: Sorry, This version of SSleay... needed functions

[JJoe]

Background

To filter https from the browser, the browser must be set to use the Proxomitron for https.

To modify https files, the necessary SSL DLLs must be added to the Proxomitron's folder by the user.

"UseSSLeay = TRUE" enables the use of the SSL DLLs to filter HTTPS. It's value is reflected by the "Use SSLeay/OpenSSL to filter secure pages" box, http://proxomitron.info/45/help/CfgT5.html#foo .

UseSSLeay's initial value may be set by a configuration file.

Basic https site blocking may not require the SSL DLLs.

Problem

If the browser is set to use the Proxomitron for https, "UseSSLeay = TRUE", and the SSL DLLs are missing or incompatible, the Proxomitron will display errors related to the missing/incompatible SSL DLLs for the sessions first https connection.

The Proxomitron will then use "Pass-thru" mode for the session's https.


Solutions

1. Set the browser to not use the Proxomitron for https.

OR

2. Provide the required SSL DLLs, http://proxomitron.info/files/index.html .

OR

3. Reset UseSSLeay to FALSE and save the new setting. Use the Proxomitron's dialog screens or a text editor.
This solution will allow some filtering of https without using the SSL DLLs

SRL Wrote:* Can now filter the CONNECT method used to establish
SSL pass-thru connections. That allows some minimal
filtering (basic site blocking and bypass list host
matching) even without using OpenSSL.

Edit per request:

ProxomiTron Application Error

Sorry, This version of SSLeay doesn't
contain all the needed functions. It may
be too different a version or compiled
without all the necessary algorithms.

Good information, thanks! It would be useful to have the full text of these errors appear within the post for better search targeting, and maybe some of the more important error keywords as part of the post title.

Good idea. I had it too but...

Will try

The problem is that the new SSLeay and Libeay files are not compatible with Proxomitron. It will not use them. The most recent forms of those that Prox will accept are the 2006 versions, but those give only errors when they are used. I guess the encryption algorithms have changed.
