Https, sslVerification, certificates - huh?

[Terry Judd]

I don't think that's the problem. I know at least one of the sites has a
session cookie but that doesn't seem to be involved in the initial
authentication. One of the sites definitely doesn't use any cookies and I
have the same problems even if I only try to connect to this site.
