Remote web access bug?

Post by NL2009 »

Hi Eric

I have enabled web access via HTTPS and can successfully access the router remotely. I have however found that if I click on the "Connected Hosts" page, this page never loads. I have to re-start my browser and then login again.

I am not sure if anyone else can confirm this problem.

---- Update ----

This is not consistent - it failed 3 times and then worked on the 4th attempt. I occasionally get an error "(Error code: ssl_error_rx_record_too_long)" on my remote PC, but this does not appear to be specific to any page. This may be due to a slow uplink speed from my router?
Regards, Nigel

It may be your upload connection.

I enabled remote access and used Internet Explorer 8 and
also used Firefox 3.5.1 and both of them loaded all pages fine.

I have a 768kb/s upstream though, so its fairly fast browsing the
configuration pages.

Connected hosts and connection lists both load fine, no errors.

This was caused by a major (and somewhat intermittent) bug in the CyaSSL library, which caused problems with https. I tracked it down and patched it, and the fix is applied in 1.0.5 (just uploaded).

Incidentally I emailed the fix to the CyaSSL maintainers, but it turns out it was already patched last week (though the latest major release, 1.0.6, which is older, still has the problem).
