Error -46 (KErrPermissionDenied) for https transactions on Symbian^3 (N8) devices.

Hi,
I've got an application that works great on all Symbian devices except the new S^3 ones (N8, C6-01, C7-00). The problem I'm having also recreates in this official sample:
http://www.forum.nokia.com/info/sw.n...I_Example.html
And in the official example called "WebClient" which ships with the Symbian^3 SDK.

The problem is that when after submitting an http transaction with an "https" url (RHTTPTransaction's SubmitL) the callback (MHFRunL()) is called with an error of -46. The problem only happens for "https://" (secure) url's and not for regular "http://" url's.

Since the problem happens on all Symbian^3 devices (although not on the Symbian^3 simulator), and also with official sample code (not only my code). It seems like there's some undocumented compatibility break.

Has anyone else encountered this? Is there any workaround/fix. There must be a way to do HTTPS transactions on S^3.

interesting, basically you get -46 if the process does not have enough capabilities. I did not notice anything documenting any capability change issues with Symbian^3. Anyway, if you can, you could try adding all capabilities you have, and seeing whether you could figure out that way on which capability would be required in there.

Thanks,
After going over each capability I found the culprit: ReadUserData
Once ReadUserData was added HTTPS transactions started to work. Kind of annoying though that this wasn't documented anywhere.

Thanks yoav_steinberg, you saved my day. Same problem happens whenever i use csecuresocket.
Y still this is not officially documented?.
