ok so I’m still waiting for google talk to magically show up in my primary gmail account.
But one thing I’ve noticed in an account that has been blessed by google is that if you connect to https://mail.google.com – the chat functionality doesn’t show up. but if you go to plain ol’ http://mail.google.com and log in- the chat does show up.
So from my experience, it looks like if you’re willing to not have SSL all the time in google mail, you can gtalk in the browser.
Kind of a bummer, or is it a bug?
NOTE: this was observed on Firefox 1.5.0.1 on Mac OS X
I noticed this post and tried wht you said. The chat feature works with http and https. I am not sure where you tried it but I tried it in Singapore. Try checking once again.
I just tried it again. Just as before – on Firefox 1.5.0.1 on a mac Google chat inside gmail doesn’t show up when I utilized https://mail.google.com but it DOES work if I use http://mail.google.com
I found that same thing. I was wondering why it was working fine when I used IE at school bit wasn’t showing up when I installed Firefox. That was the reason
how do i get to http version? i tried typing it in, it still reverts to https. i tried changing setting to “don’t always use https”, the address always goed to https that’s crossed out (due to my VPN connection most likely). just want to use chat again, not sure why it stopped working.
