Almost certainly it could be made trusted if you had a local copy of its certificate, so the message is correct. Of course, for all your local certificates, including those for standard certifiers, you need to make sure that your method of obtaining them is absolutely trustworthy. (IE, I think, would simply say that the certificate was bad, and you would have to go to more info to find out why.) > Very illiterate about SSL, Most of the world is. Most of the world has a false sense of security as a result. Most certificates depend on your trusting a company called Verisign, who are currently the centre of a controversy because they redefined the way that DNS works, to their own benefit, without even consulting anyone. Unfortunately, if you want real security, it is not safe to be ignorant about it. ; To UNSUBSCRIBE: Send "unsubscribe lynx-dev" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
