Summary [GTK] WhatsApp web does not work after updating to 2.14.4

Reported 2017-02-10 11:06:29 PST
After upgrading from WebKitGTK+ 2.14.3 to version 2.14.4 the WhatsApp web application (https://web.whatsapp.com) stopped working, and it redirects to https://web.whatsapp.com/browsers.html?missing=cryptoSha256,cryptoAesCbc (Maybe we are missing some crypto stuff which was available in the previous release? That sounds odd, though...)

WhatsApp Web *does work* in MiniBrowser in the current Git “master”.

Nope, I can reproduce this with 2.14.3, so I think this is a server-side change. Can you confirm? I suspect WhatsApp introduced a requirement on WebCrypto, which means no more WhatsApp for us.

It works for me in 2.14.3 and it doesn't work on 2.15.4.

(In reply to comment #3) > It works for me in 2.14.3 and it doesn't work on 2.15.4. Did you use build-webkit? With build-webkit you'd get experimental subtle crypto enabled, which probably mostly works in 2.14 but is probably broken in 2.15. I have no clue why incognito mode would make a difference, though.

If they did changes on the server, it might be that they don't do the checks if you already have a valid cookie and open session.

So can you use Epiphany's cookies dialog to delete your WhatsApp cookies, and see if that breaks 2.14.3?

WhatsApp Web has been working fine since WebKitGTK+ 2.18.x, which was the first release to include support for WebCrypto.
