[edit]Unsafe connection
[edit]How comes I get an unsafe connection message for an https:// site? The address bar shows https://www.--.--.--. But the on-screen message is The connection has timed out / An error occurred during a connection to www.---.--.--. The strange thing is that the address bar says it's a secure site, but the error message doesn't (and nor does Firefox's site information). Thoughts? SerialNumber54129 16:38, 31 October 2024 (UTC)
- The error message does not specify the communication protocol. This does not imply the protocol was less secure. --Lambiam 20:56, 31 October 2024 (UTC)
