Hi, On the puredata.info homepage, when I click "login" I am taken to puredata.info//login_form (<-- notice the extra backslash). What's odd is that if I mouse over the "login" link in Firefox the address is shown correctly in the status bar at the bottom of the window.
this does not matter.
This causes firefox (in osx) to give me the "Untrusted connection" message.
(Same on ie on winxp and epiphany in linux.)
this has nothing to do with the URL, but with the certificate used for encryption.
as an admin, i will plainly refuse to allow the webpage to transmit passwords in plaintext.
unless somebody (probably: you) is willing to pay for an "officially trusted" certificate (thawte,...), we have to use a certificate signed by cacert.
you can either: manually accept the certificate presented by puredata.info, or install the cacert root certificate as found on http://www.cacert.org/index.php?id=3
