Build is on May 09, 2001.

Right now you get a silent failure when you try to load an https site that has a
mis-named server certificate.  There's just an error on the console that says
that the load failed.

Also, if you use an IMAP/SSL server with a site thas has a mis-named certificate
( I use IMAP/SSL over an SSH tunnel so localhost != server name ) it says that
the connection was refused in mail/news.

This works in 0.9 and worked until recently.

*** Bug 81166 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
The new behavior (5/16 WinNT Netscape 6 build) when going to a site with an 
expired, misnamed or new server cert is to display a blank page instead.
This appears fixed in the 2001051804 Netscape 6 WinNT build.
