Aparently the Firefox developers hate self signed certs and have made it harder to get one installed into the browser's list. I don't use Firefox, so this is not something I have seen myself, but it was discussed on an article discussion about certificates on CBS Interactive's techrepublic.com OK, but I want to make it so that if I input http:// into the address bar, it tells me I have to use https:// I also would like to be able to use http:// for the other domains I use. Do I have to make a fancy entry into the httpd.conf file? --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
