Eddy, Please re-read the original request above. It does not mention any particular browser. It does mention a particular server, namely, Sun Web Server, which uses NSS. The request is quite specific. It's how to change the content of the error page returned by the server when it receives a certificate that is not valid, so as to point out what is wrong with the certificate. NSS provides that detailed info to the web server, but the server does not pass it on to the client. Jereme wishes to change that. Meena's right. This is a question about the Sun Web Server's error handling, not about NSS, nor about any particular browser, and there is another discussion forum dedicated to those server issues. -- dev-tech-crypto mailing list dev-tech-crypto@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-tech-crypto
