Mike - I agree.  I keep filing those bug reports.

I am unable to use Safari to log on to E*trade, to UBS e-banking and 
to the Saudi British Bank e-banking..  All are https sites, so maybe 
Safari has a problem at that level.  I wish they would get it fixed 
soon (as I keep saying to them).

The fireweall behind which I am working requires username and 
passwordk for the proxy.
Camino asks "shall I get these from the keychahin for you ?" whereas 
Safari asks for them everytime, and even though there is a box 
"remember password" it needs to be supplied manually every time. 
This is very crude.  Opera and IE manage also this automatically, but 
not as elegantly as Camino.  Long way to go, Safari, as I keep 
telling them....
