[plug] webmaster tyranny

[Lee Jamieson]

Heh.

I just tried it and got this:

"
Secure Connection Failed
qbequote.com.au uses an invalid security certificate.

The certificate is only valid for westernqbequote.com.au.

(Error code: ssl_error_bad_cert_domain)
 * This could be a problem with the server's configuration, or it
could be someone trying to impersonate the server.


    * If you have connected to this server successfully in the past,
the error may be temporary, and you can try again later Or you can add
an exception…

"

Funny, that.
