This is a nuisance, so I disabled that function.
Not the best option, but OK if I avoid important sites.

Are you sure this is not caused from stupid JS command (not supported from ANY dos browser)?

To say I don't understand the full implications of this would be a huge understatement. But having said that, did you put LINKS.CRT in your main Links2 subdir? Does that help at all??

None of the Links for DOS has had a LINKS.CRT.
I tried adding a blank LINKS.CRT file - nothing happened.
Where would one find such a file ?

Update:
OK, I found such a LINKS.CRT ! At the URLs in the first posting.

And you are absolutely right !!!!!!

With LINKS.CRT in the main Links sub-directory, no problems with certificates. That fixed that particular problem.

Thank you !! :)
