My problem yesterday with the Spellings site sounds a bit like the one
Tony Moore posted in thread "Rolling Stone website rendering". There
was only Chris Young's reply at the time.

I've just updated the root certificates in the hope that this

stop the certificate errors, but it doesn't appear to have made any
difference. I get about six here identical which all need to be
accepted.
After that the page displays fine however I'm unable to log in:
Operation timed out after 30000 milliseconds with 27836 out of 27836
bytes received. (the second 27836 is sometimes -1)
I'm getting the same problem (without the initial certificate
errors)
when trying to log in to PayPal.
The accept certificate crashing appears to be RISC OS-specific. The
SSL logon timing oaut... may well just be me, but it's a bit odd that
browsing secure sites works and it is only the logon failing.
Did this ever get resolved?
The Spellings site in my query also tends to throw up certificate
errors. (Using Netsurf r13033)
