certificate??? error??? INTERCEPTING???

I sometimes get this ‘Security Error: Domain Name Mismatch.?  It says, “You have attempted to establish a connection with “scratch.mit.edu� . However, the security certificate presented belongs to “scratch.media.mit.edu� . It is possible, though unlikely, that someone may be trying to intercept you communication with this web site. If you suspect the shown certificate does not belong to “scratch.mit.edu� , please cancel the connection and notify the site administrator.�  Then it shows buttons called, “View Certificate,�  “OK,�  and “Cancel.�  What the heck does this all mean?!  yikes

The same thing happens on my computer and what to do is ignore it and click cancel

Re: certificate??? error??? INTERCEPTING???

It happens when you search for something. As far as I know, it's because there's an http:// adress and an https:// adress. When this happens, just go into the adress bar and take away the 's'

Re: certificate??? error??? INTERCEPTING???

Yes, but it prevents it from occurring. You just need to do that if you wanna prevent it from happening until you search again.

But it'll be easier to search for the project instead of going through a lot of * to get it!

No, no! You can still search for it! Just do your search, blahblahblah, etc. ahsdkjfhlszkdbfawenbrf... then click on whatever you want to click on, then it'll say 'certificate error blahblahblah... etc.' then you just go to the adress bar and take out the 's'!

Re: certificate??? error??? INTERCEPTING???

Look at andresmh's post on this topic:
http://scratch.mit.edu/forums/viewtopic.php?id=4695
It should tell you about it.


I'm taking a break from Scratch until 2.0 comes out. Any messages sent between then and now probably won't be read - sorry.
