Jornada680/windows CE/ invalid URLs in internet explorer

Now that I've solved my connection issues, I would like to be able to actually do something on the internet. My kids are happy because Myspace and Facebook mobile seem to work and they can actually see photos.

I can go to the main search page for mobile msn or yahoo However when I try to do a search I get "Not found The requested URL /1.0 was not found on this server" OR "Bad Request Invalid URL" or if I try to log into yahoo mail I get "Sorry, bad request Your browser sent a request that this server could not understand Invalid URL in request GET HTTP/1.0" Any little pictures are those broken square things, no pics. I understand the technology might not be able to do everything, but some things would be nice. Does Mozilla Firefox have a browser for pocket PC??

So am I still missing something?
My driver is (WLAGS46) for my Lucent WaveLan IEEE 802.11 Turbo 11Mb. My Jornada is 2.11 (3.0 updated to 3.1) Windows CE.

"Invalid URL in request GET HTTP/1.0"

There's your problem, web servers these days run on http 1.1 and this particular server requires 1.1 extensions and keep alive I would imagine to perform dynamic rendering.

OK So is there anything I can do about that? Is it some upgrade needed in the windows ce pocket internet explorer, or wifi card?

It has nothing to do with the wifi adapter, it's all about the browser. There was never an upgrade route for the 2.11 browser I'm afraid. Some Linux redist is the most salient answer.

It says it is Pocket Internet explorer 3.0. So the upgrade to that didn't matter?

Thank you for your help C:Amie, and forgive for my lack of knowledge with this gadget. What is Linux redist?

He means you'd have to install a Linux platform (such as JLime) on the 680 and run the Linux operating system on the device to have possible alternative Web browsers available to use on it. (See the Linux/Unix forum section for details.)

Thank you. I got that on a card that came with my jornada, but it froze it up the one time and I had to reload everything.

In snooping around on the internet, I came across this.
A Windows CE 3.0 Based Web Browser for the PocketPC 2000

On the web site here on windows ce http://www.hpcfactor.com/support/windowsce/wince211/ ot says "Pocket Internet Explorer 3.0. Mozilla 3.2 Compatible"
Can I use mozilla?

I know I'm beating myself with a brick aren't I? Just seems the more I read, some people develop software for these things. I don't need to see pictures, just words.

That's about using IE libraries. Nothing useful to You.

>>>"Pocket Internet Explorer 3.0. Mozilla 3.2 Compatible"
This is browser identification string and nothing more. It means that PIE 3.0 is compatible with Mozilla 3.2. And there's NO MOZILLA FOR WINDOWS CE.

Oh well. Thank you all for your help. I greatly appreciated it!

There are no browser upgrades in an official capacity for CE 2.11, the SP doesn't change MSPIE. There were one or two attempts to release third party browsers for 2.11, however they were aimed at the PsPC which lacked any browser and ultimately offered even less functionality.

I suggest either exploring linux or trading up to a HPC2000 or CE 4 device if it is absolutely necessary to resolve these issues.

Or try Conduits PocketBrowser...

Thanks I'll take a look at that. In the mean time, if anyone else is having the same problem, I just oppened pocket internet explorer and tried different browsers till I found one that worked, which was http://www.altavista.com It must still use 1.0 html encoding because I didn't get the error, and when I did a search, it seemed to give me links I could read. So I was able to do some mormal stuff. read the news, and even see pictures. So yippie!

Since I can't get on yahoo, I nect have to set up my pocket outlook to access my yahoo mail (if its possible.)

What CPU does the Jordana use? If it's a MIPS, try Worldtalk.

No can do - it's SH3.
