Is there a reason why we don't have an https file plugin?
Is there a reason why we don't have an https file plugin? Or is there one but I'm missing it?
I mean are we just waiting for someone to get around to writing it, or is there a technical reason why it hasn't been done?
As far as I know, we have easy-to-use general purpose http file plug-ins, which allow downloading bulk content from most http web-sites, and we have WebDAV which can be used in some specific cases - but isn't a general way to copy content from most https web-sites.

There is a WFX HTTPS Browser plugin.

Re: Is there a reason why we don't have an https file plugin?
Thanks for that - as it wasn't on the main ghisler.com site I didn't know.
Unfortunately it crashes TC during installation - at the point where it tries to open the list of plugins. I've tried a few times, with V9.20 and the latest V9.22a 64-bit TC. I am using the install method of opening the zip file from within TC. I also tried manually adding it - and TC still crashes as soon as the wfx64 file is selected.
Any suggestions please?

I don't have access to 64-bit Windows right now to check it (the plugin is 64-bit only).MauriceSnell wrote: ↑2019-05-07, 19:26 UTCUnfortunately it crashes TC during installation ... Any suggestions please?
You can try to contact plugin authors about your error:

Works fine for me. Windows 10 x64, TC 9.22a x64.

This fork contains both 32- and 64-bit version, but i haven't tried it yet.

You are right, version on totalcmd.net from 03.12.2018 is x64-only, and github release version is from 13.12.2018 which includes both 32- and 64-bit plugins.

Try to install plugin version from github in 32-bit Total Commander.

It also works for me on Win 10 64-bit, but crashes on 64-bit Server 2008 R2 Standard - where I first tried it.

It works, (on WIn10) to access https sites that don't need a user login. I can't see any way to enter username and password and access password-protected sites.
Re: Is there a reason why we don't have an https file plugin?
Have you tried to use the canonical way, that is to provide username and password in URL? Something like that:
Code: Select all
https://username:password@example.domain.invalid/

The HTTPS plugin in general is the same as the original HTTP plugin by Fabio Chelly, which is available there: http://totalcmd.net/plugring/http.html
You can find there full readme with plugin description.
Note that the old canonical way is deprecated now. Many sites force interactive logging in, ignoring data in fields autofilled by the browser or using CATPCHA to confirm provided credentials.

Hmm, neither the version from http://totalcmd.net/plugring/https_browser.html or the version from https://github.com/rg-software/wfx-https-browser/releases can be installed in my TC 32bit and 64bit under Windows 7
It works OK under Windows XP, 8.1 and 10 though

Re: Is there a reason why we don't have an https file plugin?
After taking a look at the source code, my guess is that the plugin messes up the DLL entry/exit pointers because it doesn't save them but just overwrites them. This is how it looks currently:
And this is how it should look like (IMO):
As I said, just a guess.

Re: Is there a reason why we don't have an https file plugin?
On my Vista 32-bit plugin installs and works fine.
On Windows 7 32-bit I can confirm plugin install fails with Total Commander crash and error:
If to install it manually by writing its entry in [FileSystemPlugins] section of wincmd.ini, on try to access it in Network Neighborhood via Enter or Alt+Enter, it also crashes Total Commander with following errors:
On Windows 7, setting a compatibility mode for Total Commander to Windows Vista, or any other compatibility changes like running as administrator don't help to avoid the crash.
I'll try to contact plugin authors about this error.
