	(followups set to the Fedora list; the Galeon one seems intent on=20
emulating the proverbial doornail.)

	When I try to connect with=20

https://fedoraproject.com/wiki/SIGs/FedoraMini

using Epiphany, I get a warning with a button, which enables me to accept=
=20
the ostensibly bad certificate; but when I try with Galeon, I get the=20
warning without the button, and with a very unhelpful suggestion instead.

	Galeon's reaction looks like this :=20

Secure Connection Failed


fedoraproject.com uses an invalid security certificate.

The certificate is only valid for fedoraproject.org

(Error code: ssl_error_bad_cert_domain)


    * This could be a problem with the server's configuration, or it=20
could be someone trying to impersonate the server.

    * If you have connected to this server successfully in the past, the=20
error may be temporary, and you can try again later.
       =20

          Or you can add an exception=E2=80=A6
         =20

You should not add an exception if you are using an internet connection=20
that you do not trust completely or if you are not used to seeing a=20
warning for this server.

If you still wish to add an exception for this site, you can do so in=20
your advanced encryption settings.

	<sarcasm mode on>
	Yaaa, shuuure. Maybe if you have the magic ring and know the=20
secret magic code; I sure couldn't.=20
	<sarcasm mode off>

	Actually, if the condition claimed by both Epiphany (which did=20
take me to the site when I insisted) and Galeon (which failed) is in fact=
=20
the case, then the real trouble is an oversight in the fedoraproject wiki=
=20
-- and perhaps thus correctible by someone on this list.=20
