If it is a waste of money then turn it off instead of wasting time to reply to this thread ;-) |

buying a certificate is a waste of money - using https however is still a good idea, in any case. if you are annoyed by it, just use http - problem solved. |

I don't think you get the point why SIDwave posted this. Anyway, it's not my problem since I don't use Opera. |

Quoting Fredlol. See screenshot in the first post. It shows an annoying warning message from the browser.
If you support https, then just buy a certificate or turn it off if you don't need it.
You might find it a nuisance, but you might also be ignorant concerning (computer) security and privacy.
Remember http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firesheep ?
I'm glad CSDB supports SSL, even when the cert is invalid and self-signed. A quick look at the cert info will give me an idea if it's trustworthy or not. |

True, I don't like the warning message. What if e.g. gmail shows this warning message, what is your first reaction?
I also think that every site with a login should use https, although that doesn't mean that your login is secure.
Anyway, the discussion is not about using http or https. It is about how to get rid of the warning message for browsers that defaults to https when the site supports it. |

Graham posted me some links on irc, and they had https.
ofcourse i want stupid warnings to go away.
there is nothing more obnoxious, than such a message when you visit a page. |

the right place to complain about it isnt here however - its your browser vendor. |

you would get the same complaint from the browser even if its not expired (because it is self signed) |
