I used to have httpclient for automated download of financial website with VeriSign International Server CA - Class 3 Certificate, on a Microsoft IIS web server. Since January 7th this year, the connectivity broke, error message is <untrusted server cert chain> due to I believe VeriSign's Global Server ID Intermediate Root CA which expired on 1/7/2004. Unfortunately this IIS web server still allows browser downloads with warning on older Netscape browsers or not warnings at all in a IE browser. Distinct web or aplication servers behave differently, e.g.z IBM products will require ROOT update. In a Netscape browser I get this warning: <this site uses encryption, but Netscape does not recognize the authority who sign its Certificate. You may decide to accept it anyway>
My problem is I have no say ove an update of the host, I am just a client to there website. Though I warn and send them hints, they do not listen and here is the link I sent to host site: http://www.verisign.com/support/site/caReplacement.html Question: Now with ROOT expired httpclient treats current certificate as non-VeriSign. Is it possible to do any sort of registration on my client side so I will continue to be granted access and download file ? The java program has these: Security.addProvider(new com.sun.net.ssl.internal.ssl.Provider()); System.setProperty("java.protocol.handler.pkgs","com.sun.net.ssl.internal.www.protocol"); Thanks. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
