Yes. Your browser will show an option to add an exception to accept the certificate. If you do that, it will work. This means the certificate is insecure, but then you are not providing any personal information or something anyway. The sole reason for using SSL is that without it, the username/password combination you use would be transferred in plain text. A lot of people use the same username/password combinations on many sites so it's not wise to do that. In many cases (company networks, open WiFi access points, Internet Café,...) it is extremely simple to log such a password so I prefer to have some security. To capture credentials now you would have to start a dedicated attack. Whcih would still be possible but requires waaay more effort than to have a look at a log file... -- pippin --- see iPeng, the Squeezebox iPhone remote, at penguinlovesmusic.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------ pippin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13777 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=51929
