(the list is almost infinite). in my prior answer (which went to pdweb(a)iem.at) i stated, that the "real" name of the site is 'puredata.info' and NOT 'puredata.org' and NOT AT ALL 'www.puredata.org'. it seems like the primary name of the certificate is really 'puredata.org', i am sorry for the confusion. > page goes away from the buffer or something else. but it isn't possible > to install it. > you can install the root-certificate that was used to sign the puredata.org-cert from http://iem.at/services/certs/IEMroot.crt (note: all these certificates are self-signed). to re-iterate, you(!) have to ensure that you are using the correct host-name, and this does NOT include www.puredata.org nor IOhannes.puredata.info. mfg.asdr.

hi. this issue should really be on the pdweb(a)iem.at list, so i have moved this thread. carmen, you might want to subscribe yourself to this list for ongoing discussion (if there is one) carmen wrote: > for as long as i remember (certainly through several different browser-changes) pure-data's website has popped up an annoying dialog on first visit: > > - The server's name "www.puredata.org" does not match the certificate's name "puredata.info;puredata.org;puredata.org".

test releases page causes out of memory errors
by Hans-Christoph Steiner 18 Apr '06

18 Apr '06

I am using this page for the test releases of Pd: http://puredata.org/Members/hans/downloads/installers But it frequently runs into out-of-memory errors, while the rest of the site works fine. My guess is that plone is trying to read all of the files in that folder, and dies because they are large. Is there a way to disable this so that the folder always just gives a basic listing of files? Otherwise, I'll have to move the test releases elsewhere. .hc ________________________________________________________________________ ____ http://at.or.at/hans/
