 When I navigate to https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ in Firefox (Windows
 version 3.0.7), I get the following message:

 ----
 == Secure Connection Failed ==

 svn.boost.org uses an invalid security certificate.

 The certificate is not trusted because the issuer certificate is unknown.

 (Error code: sec_error_unknown_issuer)

  * This could be a problem with the server's configuration, or it could be
 someone trying to impersonate the server.

  * If you have connected to this server successfully in the past, the
 error may be temporary, and you can try again later.
 ----

 This can be worked around by adding a security exception. The
 certificate's status in the Add Security Exception dialog:

 ----
 This site attempts to identify itself with invalid information.

 '''Unknown Identity'''[[BR]]
 Certificate is not trusted, because it hasn't been verified by a
 recognised authority.
 ----

 MS Internet Explorer (version 6 SP2) also complains:

 ----
 Information you exchange with this site cannot be viewed or changed by
 others. However, there is a problem with the site's security certificate.

  * The security certificate was issued by a company you have not chosen to
 trust. View the certificate to determine whether you want to trust the
 certifying authority.

  * The security certificate date is valid.

  * The security certificate has a valid name matching the name of the page
 you are trying to view.

 Do you want to proceed?
