Iridescens Posted October 21, 2014 Report Share Posted October 21, 2014 Hi! Recently I had to connect to a non-standard (non-443) port HTTPS webserver with Maxthon. It is not possible to change the inbound port on server. Upon entering: https://:, I got the following: "Error code 312 (net::ERR_UNSAFE_PORT)". A search yielded http://superuser.com/questions/188006/how-to-fix-err-unsafe-port-error-on-chrome-when-browsing-to-unsafe-ports Now here comes the question, if Maxthon is based on a Webkit, will this solution work for us? Also, I would like to have these settings configurable in-browser (as I see these console-flags a clumsy anachronism). Please consider this improvement.

SWFlash0 Posted October 21, 2014 Report Share Posted October 21, 2014 Can this be "fixed"? Well, here's a quote from your superuser link: You may be able to turn this off in Google Chrome, but you do so at your own risk. There is actually a good security reason why Chrome blocks these ports: Basically you open your browser up to being an open proxy for attackers to use to attack other services on your network. For more information: Why does Chrome consider some ports unsafe? I don't know what kind of server you have that you can't change the port, but did you try to use IE mode?

BugSir007 Posted October 21, 2014 Report Share Posted October 21, 2014 Hi, Thank you for reaching out. Would you switch your browsing mode to Retro( by clicking the yellow lighting bolt icon at the right of the address bar) and try again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iridescens Posted October 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2014 I have read the article, no need to quote, thank you. In case that Maxthon is unable to connect, I always have a Firefox as backup plan. But this is sad, I wish I could use Maxthon instead. The server is some kind of secure remote control panel. Ports are fixed due to port-forwarding firewall policies, also 443 port is occupied by other service. In Retro mode it is able to connect but some active elements are misaligned and/or non-functional. I will test these 'chrome' flags shortly and post the results.

Iridescens Posted October 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2014 Well, Maxthon does not treat "--explicitly-allowed-ports=" as a command flag. It tries to "google" the mentioned string instead as if told to open an address. Maybe there is some other syntax involved or config file? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
