The reason is:
The identity of this website has not been verified.
Server's certificate does not match the URL.
Server's certificate has expired.
Server's certificate is not trusted.
It expired on March 2, 2012 in the evening.
When you're certain no-one has been tampering with the SSL-certificate, then just click 'continue anyway'. But then again, you'll never know if there's a man in the middle hijacking your 'trusted' secure connection! ;-) |

I think that Opera has been changed lately and now it defaults to https. So when you don't provide http then it first tries to connect via https. Since CSDb can be accessed via https, it will then check the certificate and warns about the invalid certificate.
Solution would be:
- to turn off https on the server
- or buy a real certificate for the server each year
- or users should always type in http in front of the URL when using the Opera browser
- or users should ignore the invalid certificate warning
- or users should not use Opera
I think more browsers will default to https, so the best solution is to turn off https on the server |

lol. 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. |

just click "continue anyway", just like you would with any other self-signed certificate. (you dont actually think buying one provides additional security, do you?) |

Nothing wrong with installing a 10 Euro/year certificate to prevent annoying messages, is there?
Not that I use https when logging in to post this. :) |
