WebBrowser control that can handle HTTPS
I’m a big fan of Stack Overflow and I tend to contribute regularly (am currently in the top 0.X%). In this category (stackoverflow) of posts I will will be posting my top rated questions and answers. This, btw, is allowed as explained in the meta thread here.
My quesiton was:
I am searching for a substitute of the WebBrowser control in .NET which can handle HTTPS. This question is similar here on Stack Overflow, but none of these controls offer HTTPS.
btw, just to mention, I tried all these
GeckoFx – development stopped
Se7en – this is actually continued GeckoFx
Webkitdotnet – no one replying on forum
but none of them support HTTPS, so I’m kind of stuck here :/.
Also, to mention, WebBrowser control that comes with .NET framework works just fine with HTTPS, but the reason I can’t use it is because my app uses a lot of javascript that IE refuses to render, and for example Firefox (gecko engine) or Chrome (webkit) work just fine.
So, please if someone knows a good control that can do this (can be Webkit or Gecko wrapper, it doesn’t mind, as long as it’s not an IE wrapper).
This one I answered myself:
After long googling I finally ended up using the same as I was using before. So Webkit fromhttp://sourceforge.net/projects/webkitdotnet and I ended up purchasing a SSL certificate for my domain and now all is fine.
