[X4U] OT - Secure Web Page Validation Problem

[Milton van der Veen]

OK. Maybe it is a server problem. I'll check with them again on  
Monday. I'll also try a few other pages on the server and see what  
happens. Do you know if you have to have the "s" in front of the  
extension name for a secure web page -- or is that an outmoded  
convention?
