Simon's worldmap - seems blocked no matter what?
|
Trying to use Simon's worldmap here and anything that relies on outside data like space weather, satellites, aurora etc is not working. I have added inbound and outbound rules for SimonsWorldMap.exe in windows firewall and temp turned of the Avast features, all to no avail. I assume hitting refresh on the satellites/spaceweather/aurora should load data from the web? |

Try disabling Avast - all it does is grab files from the web, so you have over-aggressive anti-virus running.

Hi Simon,
Even with windows firewall turned off and avast disabled, still no good. Is there any way to traclog what is going on? Steve |

Let's look in the logfile.
Maybe it's your ISP?
Please post a screenshot so I can see what's displayed in the Space Weather window?

Another thing you can do is to try and access the URLs with your browser:

I now have Win 11 with no Avast and just using Win11 Defender for all security. Just tried it out as not run the map for a while. Again, works fine, no firewall rules needed. I guess you already tried full uninstall of Simon's Map then reinstall with latest version? Max |

Just install the latest, but this has to be the ISP or something not allowing download of files.

Hi Simon, Log attached in txt format. |

PS. I assume I have the latest, downloaded last week.

OK,
In the logfile I see that i can't open the URLs. Will add some more diagnostics after I've eaten. Clearly I'm being blocked.

Steve,
This kit has more diagnostics in the logfile. With luck it'll tell me what your (my) problem is.

Hi Simon
I'm using Windows 7 Pro, SP1 and Windows Firewall (not windows defender) and have Avast free AV installed. I have added inbound and outbound rules for SimonsWorldMap.exe in windows firewall and temp turned of the Avast features, all to no avail. |

Good,
It's a Windows 7 thing, I googled the error and found the same thing with SKYPE, albeit from many years ago.
Problem
This problem occurs because Windows 7 is not configured to support the TLS 1.2 protocol, and the Federated partner disabled support for TLS 1.0 and 1.1 in their on-premises environment. Error "12029" is a WinHTTP error code that indicates that a socket connection failed because encrypted communication could not be established.

Win 10's GUI is a pain in the asterisk to configure to be even
remotely sane. (11 is even worse.) My desktop is not a phone. My
desktop does not have a touch screen. I know about the PITA
because I managed to get it mostly tamed. {o.o} On 20230320 12:40:04, Max wrote:

Hi Simon,
Interesting, thanks. I will look at that tomorrow (well, later today in fact) and see how I get on. In the article snippet below it states to set the defaultsecureprotocols to TLS 1.1 & 1.2 only. Is that likely to effect any other apps I might have? Would setting to 0x0000AA0 be OK? Steve In order to use TLS 1.2 by default for WinHttp API apps, add the
Here are the possible values of DefaultSecureProtocols option which defines allowed protocols for WinHTTP connections:
