yup, i verified this with netscape 4.0.7 and ie5. both let you install the
self-signed certificate so that next time you hit the page, ull be recognized
already. problem with doc mana's linux.ateneo.net daw yata is that the certificate
name does not match the site name.

pero contrary to wut kelsey proposes, it installs the certificate upon first use, not
prior to use, as one has to hit the site first to get it. anyone know of any method
of injecting it straight to ur browser?
