    In fairness, probe.

    The problem isn't with SSL itself, it's with how some..*some* applications handle certificates.

    It's interesting, but doesn't reveal "weaknesses in SSL" itself, which the title of this thread would seem to suggest.

    It's a bug alright, but not in SSL protocol.

    I'm trying to keep the headline as simple as possible..... methinks you are being a tad pedantic:)

    Anyway we no longer use ssl for the most part - it's TLS. SSL is now a generic term encompassing the security processes behind an https type connection...

    A strong argument to use only FF3.5 until other browsers are patched?
