Daniel,

Ok, I've just tried using Firefox Portable (a self-contained browser not relying on any local installed stuff .. you can run that without Admin rights / installation - caution: when you are on some intranet, the former might be technically possible, but still disallowed .. and admins might still catch you): http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/firefox_portable

See attached shots.

This shows that the cert on twistedmatrix is somewhat lacking .. Firefox complains .. but I _do_ get HTTPS in the end.

Are you surfing from a university (or some other) intranet?

If so, the only reason I could think of is that the admins there have setup servers that _intercept_ the initial HTTPS negotiation.

How to prove that? Well, that would now get quite technical .. not sure if you want to do that;)

Or: just call them up;)

If you are surfing from a regular residential dial-up or such: I have no clue why that happens to you ..

/Tobias
