There are two main sources of trouble when it comes to visiting the website of rtai.
First, http://rtai.org does not work at all; you get an "address not found" error. Second, http://www.rtai.org will bring up the "Secure Connection Failed" message in firefox3. Many people feel that the new series of dialogs you see in firefox3 for these kinds of ssl configuration were a bad idea e.g., http://eggdrop.ch/blog/2007/11/20/the-new-ssl-error-pages-in-firefox-3-suck/ and a few million other web pages. In any case when you see this error you're still several clicks away from the page you wanted. Here's what you have to do: 0. Evaluate whether it's OK for so-called "secure" connections with this website to not actually be secure. If not, then stop here; you can't use the website safely. 1. Click the link "Or you can add an exception..." 2. Click "Add Exception" 3. Click "Get Certificate" 4. (everyone actually skips this step) Click "view...", read all the information presented, correlate it with your understanding of the ssl protocol and public key encryption, then based on all that information make a decision as to whether to continue. 5. Click "Confirm Security Exception". Now you can actually view the rtai website. Congratulations. Remember, on any website where you do this, there's really no guarantee of the security of the data you transmit. For instance, I would never order via credit card from a site that requires this procedure before accessing. (You can remember later that you did this on a certain website because no green site name will appear in the address bar) Good luck navigating firefox security dialogs.
