[imp] S/MIME and PGP not working

[Markus Turba]

Whenever I try to sent an email with any s/mime or pgp action enabled  
I get the error message that this service needs a secure web  
connection. Now the irritating part of this is the fact that I am of  
course using a secured browser session via https, so I am a bit  
clueless what that error message actually means. This worked at some  
point in the past, because I have horde now running for a few years  
and at some point activated both s/mime and pgp support, configured  
and tested it, but afterwards rarely used it. So while it was working  
in the past it is now not working at all, no matter what browser I try  
or which encryption/signing option I test. It is always the same:

1) after hitting "send" I get the yellow "Enter your personal ... passphrase"
2) after entereing that and hitting OK I get the following errir in a  
red box in lower right corner.

"The encryption features require a secure web connection."


So I am wondering at the moment what the program is actually whining  
about, because I am staring at my address bar, seeing the closed lock  
and when I click on it states that this connection is indeed secured,  
so why is imp getting to the conclusion that it is not???

Imp version is 6.2.8

Any help appreciated.
