Re: Problems with H-Online Security?

[Vic Vandal <vvandal () well com>]

Check your browser settings Jeff and try accessing the site/links using a different browser.  There was some recent 
Firefox patch that caused a (different) site to suddenly become inaccessible to me because of some anomaly with its 
site certificate.  But there was absolutely no indication of why the site wouldn't come up, and it appeared to be 
down/offline because I could still access other sites.  It wasn't until I tried a different browser on a whim that I 
realized that it was a browser issue.  If memory serves I made the site trusted or an exception and I was able to 
access it again. 

Also h-online-com issues its own and another etracker.de tracking cookie, and if your browser isn't accepting those 
cookies (or allowing some of the site's javascript to execute) perhaps that could play into your site access problem.

Good luck,
Vic

Hi All,

Is anyne else having trouble connecting to H-Online? I have not been
able to read articles from their last 3 emailings (2 or 3 weeks).

I tried to track the problem down with their webmaster, but we could
not find anything wrong. Pings and mail went through fine. It appears
it lmited to HTTPand HTTPS (I did not try other protocols).

Here's a link that can be used to test if you have a morbid curiosity:
