HTMLview class (RapaGUI) Missing Function

[PEB]

A webpage that I used to be able to display in RapaGUI using the HTMLview class no longer works. Now I get the following error:

...could not be loaded because:

net::ERR_CLEARTEXT_NOT_PERMITTED

If this is easy enough to support, please add a fix to the next version of RapaGUI.

should you provide a bit more data ?
like this not works .. amigaos ? windwos ?
and which page is that ?

Yes, I should have specified that I was getting this error on a progam that I made for Android.

I did some Google research and found out that this error is caused by changes made in newer versions of Android.

Thankfully, there's an easy fix:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/527 ... e-is-https

I just needed to add this to the manifest (in the APK Compiler):

Code: Select all

android:usesCleartextTraffic="true"

Now everything works as it should.

so the problem has to do with the "stupid imho" opinion of google to block HTTP traffic by default...
creating problems to simple/old sites
including chrome for PC's

It is not a stupid imho, Google does sabotages to others, for example the Opera mobilephone browser, if you uses Google to Swarch appears less information but if you use the hide window ir the Google Chrome browser you get more searches.

sobotage is true but not the issue in this topic

google chrome was one of the first browser to connect NOT in NON HTTPS sites, requiring aproval by user to connect to non http sites
other browser follow this "bad behaviour"

imho simple sites (like a blog i may use to post stupid thinks) makes NO GAIN to HTTPS, instead makes more difficult to mantain debug etc
sites with value i.e. banks/goverement should use HTTPS AND other mean of protection (since https by itself is pretty useless)

therefore their idea of forcing HTTPS to simple sites is stupid for me

above practices is the main reason i do not use Chrome anywhere !
