You are imagining this site.

, , , , , ,

I was going to say "I'm not here" but it wouldn't be true, I'm here, but Opera isn't. It looks like it's here, in fact I can see it in front of me, but alas it is but a mirage, a mere figbox of my fevered miragination, when I fired up the browser I promptly got a warning: "The server's certificate chain is incomplete, and the signer(s) are not registered."

Oh no no . The server's certificate chain is incomplete. I'm screwed. I don't know what that means...

Help is at hand. I clicked on 'Details'. It started with "*.opera.com" and went on to list the whole chain. Halfway down it says "Not valid before", then it says "Not valid after". That must be it then... Um. I still don't know what that means. Let's see what it says under 'Security'.

Ah ha. It seems that Opera doesn't recognize it's Certificate Authority and therefore "It is not possible to verify that this is a valid certificate."

At last it all makes sense.

Well, no, not really it doesn't, but seeing as how it's not really here nothing makes sense, so in that context it makes about as much sense as anything else.

What doesn't make sense is that I've not told Opera to accept or reject the connection, but it's still letting me post this blog.

At least I think it is.

I guess we'll all find out when I press 'Save'.

So farewell then, No 6....and I'm telling you, I don't ******* swear.... (Unless there's a really good reason for it... Like maybe, FOOTBALL).

I think you may actually be all there after all. Opera was doing some creative things to some pictures I posted today too.

Well I've just logged in on my other computer bigsmile and it's let me in with no quirks or quibbles.

Something stirring on the dark side is...

That's strange, I've never once managed to connect to MyOpera via HTTPS. What address were you at when you got the certificate error?

I shall have to check back in 'history' on my laptop. As far as I can remember I just chose it from the options on the toolbar.

It seems I'd left the tab open when I last closed down, so next time it opened on the log in screen and I used the magic wand. Next stop up came the certification warning, so it came between the my.opera.com loggin page and my.opera.com/Deke/blog

Did it for some reason carry the https from the loggin over to my page?

http://my.opera.com/community/login/ has never supported HTTPS. If you close Opera with e.g. http://my.opera.com/Deke/blog/2009/01/15/you-are-imagining-this-site in one tab, when you restart you won't be redirected to the login page. And Opera wouldn't have a certificate issued for "*.opera.com", they're security maniacs.

I assume it was some weird bug confused
