This is not really a servlet question so I don't know why you've
asked here, it's not relevant.
However.... since certificates is something I'm dealing with at the
moment and they are tenuously related to web servers I will tell you
waht I know.
Lots of verisign (and other) certificates have expired on 31.12.1999
so that may be why it's not working.
If you can use the secure socket to contact other https sites then
this would suggest that there is no Y2K bug.
The message you get is indicative of the certificate for the site
being withdrawn (or expired).
Hope that helps. As I say, this is not really a JSSE forum so you
probably should ask somewhere else (JDC?)
