Release 1.11.3
In this release.
1. Added a cancel button to the connecting progress dialog.
2. Moved the acquiring local address, binding, and acquiring server address functions to their own thread. Added a progress / cancel dialog for this thread.
3. Added detection of system logout / shutdown signals to close the application, destroy temporary files, and flush the trace file.
System logout / shutdown signals differ between operating systems.
Windows: The application will clean up on logout, reboot, and shutdown. The application will NOT clean up when closed from the task manager.
Linux: The application will clean up when closed from the System Monitor, and depending on the Linux configuration, logout, reboot, and shutdown. The Linux configuration must be set to issue SIGHUP signals (by default, Ubuntu does, Fedora does NOT. Check the documentation on your particular operating system to enable SIGHUP signals.)

User login
You've stopped for a cup of coffee or you've checked into a hotel. You've connected to their WiFi but you can't get any web sites to display. The hotel gave you a password but you never see a place to enter it. This simple application will usually fix the problem. Start it up and press the button.
The "Initiate WiFi Login" Android app is available at Google play and the Amazon Appstore.

Application Error on forced termination by session logout
When I sign out of a remote desktop session on a Windows 2012 R2 server and Why Can't I Connect? Version 1.11.2 is still open, an application error occurs immediately (split-second) in WhyCantIConnect.exe: "The instruction at 0x00b5bd66 referenced memory at 0xfffffffc. The memory could not be read."

Re: Application Error on forced termination by session logout
System logout / shutdown signals are currently not handled appropriately. This will be fixed in the next release. Behaviors will vary between operating systems. I will give more detail on these behaviors in the release notes.
Note: Any crash will orphan temporary files used by the application. Press the "Clean" button in the preferences editor to remove these orphaned files.

1. Added SSL / TLS support for IMAP, POP3, SMTP, LDAP, Usenet, and Generic Client connections.
2. Added a trace showing the SSL / TLS certificate information after a connection.
3. Fixed a bug when connecting a Generic Client that expects a response.
Warning: this application links to the openssl libraries. Do not download this application if this is illegal in your country.
