--- Comment #3 from Dave Kaye <d...@linuxmail.org> ---
Knights is programmed to send the user to the url

http://freechess.org/Register/index.html

when requesting a new account.  The FreeChess website has changed from http to
https.  When the above url is recieved by the chess website, it sends a
redirect response.  Unfortunately it is malformed, and the redirect is to the
url

https://www.freechess.orgregister/index.html

which does not exist.  Correcting the issue at the website will correct this
error.  A note has been sent to supp...@freechess.org to inform them of the
problem.

A second method to correct this error is to change Knights ficsdialog.cpp from
requesting http: to requesting https: by adding an "s" to the code.  This is
the correct url, and the malformed redirect url is never issued. This has been
done in pull request labeled Commit 93002685.  This change is awaiting
acceptance by development team.
