Does Your Online Bank Support Konqueror?

Tuesday, 11 December 2001 | Dre

Oliver Strutynski has a mission. Frustrated by the fact that some online banks discriminate against Konqueror, he has announced a website for promoting Konqueror to banks. According to the site, "It is the purpose of this page to collect a list of online banking sites that work with recent versions of Konqueror or to present work-arounds for using online banking sites that fail to load correctly on first try". If you do engage in advocacy with your bank, please keep in mind the Linux Advocacy Guidelines (non-Linux'ers, filter the page through sed -e s'@Linux@MYOS@g', and it will address you too). Most countries heavily regulate their banks and thus banks have additional legal obligations and liabilities in terms of security. This means that providing support for a particular browser may not necessarily be as simple as it would be for a different category of website; however, if enough customers request it . . . .

KDE3 mention - Navindra Umanee - 2001-12-11

Also just noticed <A href="http://lists.kde.org/?l=kde-promo&m=100806822230008&w=2">this one from David</a>, where he points out that sites that don't work with KDE 2.2.2 may work with the upcoming KDE3, thanks to improved JavaScript support.

Re: KDE3 mention - Justin - 2001-12-11

Yes, improving Javascript in Konqueror is the way to attain compatability. I don't think banks are discriminating directly against it. At bankamerica.com, there is a gigantic heap of Javascript code. I have read through it before, trying to modify it to work with Konqueror just to login (for konq 2.1.1). The Javascript code works with IE and Netscape (even 4.7, so it does work in Linux). If Konqueror could understand all of that code properly, then it would work there also. I think a bigger question here is: why the hell do bank websites need javascript? I did not feel comfortable reading that huge heap of code. It's not for additional security is it? JS won't help you there anyway. Security through major obscurity? I actually see no reason for the code, and I really wonder if the bank web programmers are just clueless. I vote that they just take out this pointless JS code. Then they'd gain not just Konq compatability, but lynx!

Re: KDE3 mention - radix - 2001-12-12

Bank of America works perfectly with kde2.2.1 and 2.2.2 with me

Re: KDE3 mention - Justin - 2001-12-12

I just tested it now and you're right! I'm positive it didn't work in 2.1.1, and I'm pretty sure it didn't work in 2.2.1 either (or maybe it was 2.2.0...). Maybe bank of america changed their page? Anyway, it seems to be working. I even made a payment. Whee!

Re: KDE3 mention - KDE User - 2001-12-12

Cripes, it's the other way around for me! A while back (probably the 2.1 days) I was able to use Bank of America just fine (once I changed my UA string). However with 2.2.1 and 2.2.2 I haven't been able to log in. The page asking for Account #, etc, just loops. I enter the info, and get sent back to the page. Over and over. This happens with a 2.2.1 box at home and a 2.2.2 box here at work (happened with 2.2.1 here at work as well). Works for me in Mozilla, though, so my account is properly set up. *shrug*

Re: KDE3 mention - radix - 2001-12-12

Change it back to konqueror

Re: KDE3 mention - AC - 2001-12-12

does this "page" display with Konq3 it fails due js with 2.2.2. Displays fine with netscape...

HSBC (UK) and KDE3 - Jono - 2001-12-11

Re: HSBC (UK) and KDE3 - Antonio D'souza - 2001-12-11

I went to their tech support page & it asks for details on OS & browser. The only OSes listed are Windows & MacOS and the only browsers listed are IE4 & 5 as well as NS4.

First Union OK - Shamyl Zakariya - 2001-12-11

While I don't use my banks online functions to their full capacity, First Union's (USA) online services: http://www.firstunion.com/FrontLineLogin.html seem to work just fine in KDE 2.2.2, and have since I first tried under 2.1. All I've used it for is transferring between accounts and checking my balances, but that's good enough for me, at least.

Postbank (.nl) - Rob Kaper - 2001-12-11

Even the regular site has a problem, some of the frames do not load. This can be circumvented by finding the frame URL in the source and loading it manually. Have not tested the online banking features yet, but requested login information so I will soon.

Re: Postbank (.nl) - Huib Wouters - 2001-12-12

The regular site seems to work fine with me in Konqueror. I've tried the online banking. I installed the latest (version 1.3.#) Java runtime environment from www.blackdown.org. The package includes plugins for Netscape version 4 and for Mozilla based browsers (Galeon, Mozilla). The online banking works with Mozilla and Galeon but not with Netscape 4.7. Konqeror doesn't work! I'm not sure why? In the Konqeror Netscape-plugins settings, it says to look for plugins in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins and in /usr/lib/netscape/plugins. Which JAVA plugin is loaded by Konqeror I'm not sure? Maybe if I remove the /usr/lib/netscape/plugins line???

move to www.konqueror.org ? - aleXXX - 2001-12-11

Hi, I think it would be better and in a more prominent place if this page was located at www.konqueror.org. And, there are "color codes" defined on your page, all I saw was black text. Bye Alex

Re: move to www.konqueror.org ? - Aaron J. Seigo - 2001-12-11

i talked with oliver about those exact issues and he said that once they have enough reports together they will be moving it to konqueror.org. that is also why the page is so spartan at the moment as it will be moving to the konqueror.org webpage template.

Re: move to www.konqueror.org ? - Oliver Strutynski - 2001-12-12

Do you have style sheets enabled? Colors work fine with Konqueror 2.2.2 and Mozilla 0.9.6 and the page validates against HTML 4.0.1, so this seems to be a problem on your side.

Konqueror and Java applets - Magnus Kessler - 2001-12-11

Some of the sites listed on the page fail because the java applets employed there do not work fully. I think this is at the moment the biggest problem with using konqueror as an (apart from this issue the best) all purpose web browser. In general java applets seem to load/initialise a lot slower in konqueror than in any other browser. Furthermore, since java<->javascript interaction (LiveConnect) does not work, a lot of applets on banking sites do not function correctly. What I would really love to see is that (at least optionally) konqueror would load applets through SUN's java plugin, and that LiveConnect would be implemented so that a plugin could have access to the browser and vice versa.

Re: Konqueror and Java applets - Fred - 2001-12-11

So true. My biggest problem with Konqueror is all the hack it needs to launch my webbank. Since I'm a Linux Newbe, it has taken me so long to get the right Java support for my box fixed right. I guess a lot of users out there has had the same problems with Java like me I would most definitly recomend a better Java embedding in 3.0 than that of now. Is the reason its not working very well now any licenseissues with Sun - or is it possible to have Java support with KDE without having to download it from Sun in the future?

Re: Konqueror and Java applets - Marcel Offermans - 2001-12-14

I completely agree, applets do work but there is no interaction between the applets and the browser at the moment and this breaks many pages that use applets. In my opinion, this is one of the most important limitations of Konqueror at the moment, most other things are nicely standard compliant.

Re: Konqueror and Java applets - LiveConnect - geva - 2002-03-14

is there any work currently being done on adding LiveConnect support to konqueror?

Is there any work to be done on animated gifs? - linuser - 2001-12-11

Off topic but I would really like to know if this bug is being worked on for Konqueror in KDE 3. Basically the problem is some gif animations using 100% cpu. These bug reports are all related to the problem: http://bugs.kde.org/db/29/29963.html http://bugs.kde.org/db/23/23368.html http://bugs.kde.org/db/29/29196.html http://bugs.kde.org/db/34/34433.html Maybe there's an explanation as to why it's hard to solve? Now back on topic my bank is http://nbc.ca This site will only work with IE or Netscape 4.x. Mozilla wont work (navigation menu JavaScript problem), Opera wont work (Tells me I'm navigating using bookmarks), Konqueror gives me blank page (JavaScript again I guess). This means I have to keep Netscape 4.77 around just for one site and to tell you the truth I really don't expect the KDE team to make it work either. I'd much rather the bank to use some form of standard when writing their web site. I've emailed them but I think they are under the impression that there is only one OS out there.

Re: Is there any work to be done on animated gifs? - Aaron J. Seigo - 2001-12-11

as i understand it, the GIF problems are Qt issues. i've heard that Qt3 handles such things better, though i have no idea if this is just rumour or actual fact. =)

SSL and Java problems here - Ian Reinhart Geiser - 2001-12-11

Greetings I think this is a Java problem here, what fails for me is Java over SSL. I heard some info about this in the past but I have never seen anything come out of it. Debugging bank web pages is a real problem because as much as I like what David is doing for KDE and KJS I am just not sure I want him tweaking with my bank account ;) I have contacted them and they seemed to take concern but I have yet to see anything. Cheers -ian reinhart geiser

Re: SSL and Java problems here - Kevin Krammer - 2001-12-11

Well, you're developer yourself, but just to make sure it isn't the usual case: you have the JSSE extension installed as described in the konqueror-java-howto on konqueror.org? Kevin

Re: SSL and Java problems here - Ian Reinhart Geiser - 2001-12-11

Java and SSL are a known issue on the PPC, although I have to admit I have not tried again with it since KDE 2.2.0. Ill wander back there and give it a try. The blackdown port of Java is lacking sound, ssl and some other minor things. I have never ateempted to try it on my Athlon, I figure when it works consistantly it will ship default with KDE, kinda how java works now. Cheers -ian reinhart geiser

www.osuuspankki.fi - Janne - 2001-12-11

No-go with Konqueror. Doesn't work in Mozilla either. Have to use Windows :(. I have been planning to complain to them about that.

Re: www.osuuspankki.fi - Johnny Andersson - 2001-12-11

Postgirot.se explicitly looks for Netscape or Explorer *+ windows*. If it's the right version of Netscape, but not running under Windows, it just tells me to update my browser.. I mailed them about this, and they simply stated that most people use Windows. They weren't interested in changing anything. Important sites shouldn't be designed by people like that... Because of pure laziness from their side, I have to fire up Windows to pay bills.

Re: www.osuuspankki.fi - not me - 2001-12-12

Have you tried changing the user agent? That would get you past their browser detection. Then you only have to worry about whether or not Konqueror is up to the task of rendering the pages...

Re: www.osuuspankki.fi - Janne - 2001-12-12

Yes, I have tried to change the user-agent. I can log in there without any problems, but the banking-section doesn't work (the menu where I choose what to do doesn't work). It's made with javascript (if I remember correctly), so the problem can be at Konquerors javascript-implementation.

Re: www.osuuspankki.fi - Joni - 2001-12-12

It does work with Mozilla. Has always worked for me. Make sure you got the newest Mozilla version (including the psm package) installed. I haven't tried it with Konqueror yet..

KDE/Qt version of Mozilla? - KDEuser - 2001-12-12

I prefer Konq because it uses native widgets, but I'll admit that Mozilla probably has a (somewhat) wider acceptance base. Has anyone tried to create a gecko based browser for KDE which uses Qt widgets similar to how Galeon uses gecko w. GTK?

Re: KDE/Qt version of Mozilla? - radix - 2001-12-12

konq supports kmozilla instead of khtml for webpage rendering

How to enable kmozilla? - KDEuser - 2001-12-13

I see that I have kdebindings-kmozilla installed on my system (RH 7.2) but how do I actually enable kmozilla on Konq?

Re: How to enable kmozilla? - standsolid - 2002-10-30

in konq>> settings/ configure Konq , then file associtations. Type in html, and expand text to find html the only choice. click that and go to embedding. you should see this list on the bottowm KHTML, KMOZILLA. if there is no KMOZILLA, click ADD then KMOZILLA. if ther already is KMOZILLA, select it then push "move up". hope this helps you out

Re: How to enable kmozilla? - Rene Assano - 2003-09-23

I'm on a Redhat 9.0, with apt from freshrpms and only kde (packages provided by kde-redhat). I've installed kdebindings (1.3.4), and went to Konqueror config, but there was no trace of kmozilla there (even on the ADD dialog box)... Anyone could help me? Renê

Re: KDE/Qt version of Mozilla? - jz - 2001-12-12

> I'll admit that Mozilla probably has a (somewhat) wider acceptance base. I don't think that's that true. In fact, until a few months ago, Mozilla was abolutely horrid. Now, I think there are more Moz users than Konq users, but not by much. I'd have to say that there are still many, many, NS 4.7 users. Opera also has a significant loyal user base.

Re: www.osuuspankki.fi - Janne - 2001-12-12

It doesn't work with me. I have the latest Mozilla installed with apt-get. The menu where you choose what to do doesn't work. Sometimes it seems to be trying to work, but it's unusable for me. I have had more luck with Mozilla than with Konqueror, but neither of them work well enough to be usable. Dunno bout the psm, I'll check it out when I get back to Linux.

Re: www.osuuspankki.fi - Joni - 2001-12-13

Mozilla-psm is the package that has SSL stuff and all that, so it is necessary. You could also try if it would work with a new, clean profile..

www.comdirect.de - Josy - 2001-12-12

I am using konqueror 2.2.1 on Suse 7.3. I had tried to access the german comdirect online bank www.comdirect.de. As soon as you press the button 'login direct brokerage' you get a message, that only Microsoft Internet Explorer Version 4.0 or higher, Netscape Communicator Version 4.5 or higher, as well as the usage of Netscape 6 Version 6.1 or higher is possible for access. Afterwards, it is stated, that you are currently using "Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Konqueror/2.2.1)". I tried to fake a different browser type. But it did not help. From comdirect I got the message, that Java, java script and style sheets have to be activated on Netscape 4 (Version 4.78 works, but not very good). Here is the original German message presented when konqueror is used: Herzlich willkommen bei *comdirect) Hinweis: Sie benutzen einen Browser, mit dem die Nutzung des Direct Brokerage der comdirect nicht möglich ist. Um unser Direct Brokerage nutzen zu können benötigen Sie einen Microsoft Internet Explorer ab Version 4.0 oder einen Netscape Communicator ab Version 4.5. Außerdem ist die Nutzung des Netscape 6 ab Version 6.1 möglich. Beta-Versionen der o.g. Browser sind nicht zugelassen. Im Augenblick benutzen Sie "Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Konqueror/2.2.1)" als Web-Browser. Sollten Sie weiterhin Probleme mit dem Zugriff per Internet haben, wenden Sie sich bitte in der Zeit von 8:00 bis 22:00 Uhr an unsere Hotline unter der Rufnummer (01803) 336440. Vielen Dank. comdirect

Re: www.comdirect.de - not me - 2001-12-12

>I tried to fake a different browser type. But it did not help. Are you sure it worked? If it says you are using konqueror when you press the button, you didn't change the user agent correctly. If you change the user agent, they will not be able to tell that you are not using IE except with dirty hacks, and they certainly won't be able to tell that you are using Konqueror.

Re: www.comdirect.de - It works!!! - Josy - 2001-12-12

Your are right, it works!!! During login to direct brokerage (happens, when the button 'login direct brokerage' is pressed), the address changes from 'www.comdirect.de' to 'brokerage.comdirect.de'. Thus the http site/domain name to fake is not 'www.comdirect.de' as I did before, but it is 'brokerage.comdirect.de' or short'comdirect.de'. Thanks!!!

Re: www.comdirect.de - It works!!! - Michael P. H. - 2001-12-12

Just change the User Agent ! - Mickael - 2001-12-12

Don't forget you can foul your bank by changing the 'User-Agent' Konqueror sends to your bank website. Go in the settings menu -> Configure Konqueror and then choose the icon 'User-Agent'. Works for me... :)

Re: Just change the User Agent ! - Oliver Strutynski - 2001-12-12

This works for a number of sites (should be noted on the summary page), but the problem is that tweaking the UA string really perverts the idea of having a ua identifier in the first place: It makes it impossible to work around peculiarities in specific browsers and does not allow webmasters to generate reliable browser statistics. This way Konqueror (and other alternative browsers) will never be able to get a relevant market share, just because nobody realises that people actually use these browsers. So this is a work-around, but no solution!

Re: Just change the User Agent ! - not me - 2001-12-14

No, the people who are perverting the idea of a UA string are the ones who are making their sites reject unknown browsers simply because they don't match known ones. They should at least give them a chance, with a warning. We're simply doing whatever we can to give Konqueror a chance at rendering these webpages. Personally, I think the idea of a UA string is somewhat perverted in the first place, but that's a different discussion.

Mine Works - Russ Steffen - 2001-12-12

Re: Mine Works - George Staikos - 2001-12-14

If you still get that message with KDE3 CVS/Beta, please file a bug report and I'll look into it asap. That code had to change thanks to braindead server designs and it hasn't gone through much serious testing. Anyways, better to be warned on a valid site, than not warned on an invalid site!

JADE runs on AIX and (somewhat sadly) NT and is being ported to Linux as we speak. (not a plug, I don't work for jade ;) Website is www.asbbank.co.nz

Once you get past the invalid certificate dialog all functions seem to work fine with KDE 2.2.1 www.bankone.com

Re: BankOne (US) certificate problem - George Staikos - 2001-12-14

This works fine for me with 2.2.1 and HEAD. Do you mean 2.2.2? Please file a bug report if it's for sure 2.2.1 or HEAD and I"ll look into it asap. Don't bother filing a report against 2.2.2 though :)

I've also problem with my online bank - Alex Dusty - 2001-12-15

Hello, I'm glad someone has my very own problem. I only use Konqueror for browsing, and I can enjoy most (not all) web sites, but I have a lot of problems with my bank: www.fineco.it. With mozilla the web site runs fine. The problems I have are: - the site uses (at least) 2 frames, refreshing each one independently one from the other. konqueror opens 2 windows, one for a frame, one for the other, and I have to click in both to make things work! - I continuosly get the error "the certificate is valid but does not appear to have been assigned to this server" asking confirmation before proceeding, so making the browsing of the site a real pain Does anyone experiments my problems? I'm sorry I can't give you an url to test because the problems are in the private pages. Does anyone have some work around for my problems? Thanks and keep up the great work, konqueror and all KDE really rocks. Alex P.S.: I run KDE 2.2.2 on a red hat 7.2 box

Have always worked with konqueror, However the newest 2.2.2 update broke something in cookie handling (reported it some time ago), so now you have to clean out the old cookies for that site before you can log in again. There is also still a problem with using a proxy for the https-sessions.

I confirm this, older 2.2.1 worked fine, 2.2.2. doesn't. Mozilla does, but I don't wan't to load it's widget set into memory, when I already have KDE and Qt loaded.

Czech eBanka doesn't work - Jiri Kaderavek - 2001-12-17

Czech first online bank eBanka doesn't work with Konqueror. After my notification about compatibility between eBanka online system and Opera, Konqueror or Mozilla they added a browser check script and all what I can seenow is BadBrowser.html page. They support IE, Netscape and particulary some versions of Mozilla, because of the Mozilla is build on top of the Netscape ( :-( their words). Again, they answered me, that no support is planned for other browser then IE and Netscape. I don't understand this, they are 4 years on the electronic market and was the more progressive bank in the middle Europe in this area.
