Agreed, this should be fixed. See also my HTTPS thread here in Meta.

Yes it is possible, however wevery time I completly wipe all the temp files it seems to revert back.
Ya, I saw something about that once. I think it should be changed because it is anoying everytime I hit a link it comes up.
Would there be possible to make an exception for it? Firefox can do this, you do it once for every site in question.

Perhaps the owner could get a free one from StartSSL? It works in most modern browsers in my experience, and is included in the Windows root since Vista iirc.
Oh, ok that makes sense.
Why does ie tell me bitcoins.org has an invalid srcurity certificate whenever I use a secure(https://)/ encrypted connection? Is this truly a bad certificate or an ie glitch.
Neither. It is a self-signed certificate.
These are perfectly valid, but simply do not establish a chain of trust from one of the CA's listed in your browser.
Probably because owner of site will not shell out a large amount of money to have that message go away. As I understand it, any site can use https, but only those who pay some substantional amount become "officially recognized" by browsers because their certificate will be issued by a "trusted entity" whereas the certificate at bitcoin.org is selfmade. Somebody please correct me if this should not be correct.
