The confusing message
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; de; rv:1.8.1.3) Gecko/20070309 Firefox/2.0.0.3
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; de; rv:1.8.1.3) Gecko/20070309 Firefox/2.0.0.3
The security warning for this site is confusing and not helping at all (see attached image)
This dialog appeared after temporarily accepting the certificate.
It says that the certificate is for "buran.htu.tuwien.ac.at" and the server is "buran.htu.tuwien.ac.at". normally this appears when opening a page with a different hostname, but this time its exactly the same.
marking it as security-related, since this could undermine the meaning of this security waring.
