problem with about:neterror

Hi,

I was trying to read

http://session.wiki.sourceforge.net/ses ... 5f3fb7fea8

The site apparently does not have a valid certificate or has some other issue.. anyway firefox
attempts to display an alert (looks like about:neterror but not sure about that) and asks to
add an exception.

Problems are:
* the error message is not displayed correctly - most important information is missing so I am only guessing what the problem actually is
* clicking at the "add exception" link does absolutely nothing - it is a javascript link to do showSecurityAction() which is why I am guessing that noscript is involved

Noscript has about:neterror enabled in exceptions and strangely in the popup menu the
option was displayed to disable it again which I did to no avail - clicking the javascript
link is not doing anything.

I had previously similar problems with about:neterror and noscript when firefox though it
was offline and tried to ask me to add exceptions, symptoms were very similar.

Firefox 3.0.4/Fedora 10

Regards
Richard

Are you logged in, or trying to login? That would be an https address. I went to SF, logged in, no problem, went to the wiki pages, clicked one at random, no problem.
If not https, (SSL/TLS), what kind of certificate are you referring to?
FWIW, I took your above url, stripped off everything after the token, and it works.
http://session.wiki.sourceforge.net/ses ... 33fcba848a takes me to the SF Wiki, where I could then login or whatever.
Not sure where the rest came from. Can you login first? If not a registered user, why is there a "username" and "email" in the url?
How did you get there? Following a link?

Please try either logging in directly, or going directly to http://www.wiki.sourceforge.net/, and see if you still get errors. Can you now do what you want there? Regards, Tom T.
