Can't reach https://speedservices.co.za or https://postoffice.co.za because Firefox says "This Connection is Untrusted". Technical Details says the site "uses an invalid security certificate" and "The certificate is not trusted because the issuer certificate (sic) is unknown." and "(Error code: sec_error_unknown_issuer)"

I just want to know their rates.

Anyone know whether "SAPO SSL CA" as the issuer is something new and not to be trusted?

Oh well, I'll just allow per event on a temporary basis. But it's a sign I shouldn't even WANT to know their rates...

This is what happens when idiots run companies.
Both of these Urls have the same problem. They were issued with the www in front.

The URL https://speedservices.co.za has got a certificate issued for https://[B]www[/B].speedservices.co.za

Notice the difference?

They need to get a multi domain cert or just get another for the URL. I've seen this happen a few times with big companies.
If you get a multi domain cert, it means that anything with that suffix will work, so for example https://test.speedservices.co.za will still
work.
