How to Hack Gmail Notifier to Use SSL
A brief explanation as to how to make the Gmail Notifier open Gmail using SSL instead of normal HTTP. The steps should be pretty self-explanatory from the pictures included. This is useful to keep the notifier working if you chose the new Always HTTPS gmail option.
Note: Google have now released a patch which adjusts the registry, causing Gmail Notifier to use HTTPS. This can be found at http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=9429.
Steps :
- Close Gmail Notifier.
-
Copy gnotify.exe and rename to copy to gnotify.exe.BAK (safety first)
- Open virtualdub, and then open the hex editor from Tools menu -> Hex editor... (any hex editor will work. PSPad Editor is what I would use though.)
- In the hex editor, go to File -> Open, and browse to gnotify.exe (should be in C:\Program Files\Google\Gmail Notifier\).
- Select gnotify.exe
- De-select "Open as Read Only"
- Use Ctrl+F and type http://mail.
- Hit Enter, and you will see the URL that notify uses (the http:// one, not the https:// one above it, that seems to be just for logging in.)
- Place your cursor on the colon (:) right after the "http" (again, not after "https") and just start typing.
- Type out s://mail.google.com/mail/ which will reduce the number of periods between /mail/ and ?.u, but that's OK.
- Save and restart gnotify.exe
