Are you giving it a protocol at all? IMHO if you say http:// and port 443 it should still try to talk HTTP. However, if you give no protocol and posrt 443, it would make (some) sense to me to auto-switch to SSL, but it makes even more sense to just use the https or ssl protocol entry and forget the port. > > Thoughts? > > BTW thanks for the quick RC3 fix yesterday... > -- Justin Patrin
