That suggests to me that it is not a change in Netsurf which has 
caused the improvement for you.

I still get the same message attempting to open the Snatander login 
page. I have added a comment to the bugtracker.

Apologies for going off-topic re Netsurf, but you're not obliged, in 
fact: your Iyonix should run RO Firefox 2.0.0.21 (Aug 2009-R8) 
acceptably well with JS enabled, better with JS disabled, and you'll 
find recent versions of Netsurf (I'm using r10640) coexist perfectly 
well with it.

I'm afraid that since then la Poste have changed to a JS-based login
system, thus making it impossible for me to verify this.  I am obliged now
to use a Windows machine, albeit via the excellent RDP running on my Iyonix.

Glad to report that, as of some unknown period before Netsurf 
development update "3.0 (Dev) (03 Aug 2010 10:30) r10678", the above 
problem has disappeared, AND it has disappeared when using the release 
version 2.5! So maybe it's something the Co-op Bank has changed?

I have added a comment to Netsurf Bug tracker ID: 2835477  
"Co-op bank login gives SSL error 2009-08-11", but cannot mark the bug 
closed if John Williams still has the problem with La Poste. (I have 
advised him of this by personal email).
