I think you might have intended to say SSL instead of referring to SSH  
(Secure Shell)?

	Here's a good one of interest at http://www.fasfa.ed.gov/  the  
message below I receive when attempting to log in. The clever  
Windows .NET developers suggest these browsers but the website will  
always disallow you to continue. I must report my browser as IE 8 in  
order to log in. It matters not if I'm using OS X or Linux with  
Safari, Firefox variants, Epiphany, Camino, or Galeon. I do use  
Firefox with an extension that falsely reports my browser version with  
success.
