I frequently need to test websites which don't have valid certificates. Sometimes self-signed, sometimes I'm using a different url, or the IP.
In IE9 this brings up the "There is a problem with this website's security certificate" warning page, but when I click on "Continue to this website" it does not work. It tries to load "res://ieframe.dll/" which fails.
I have already searched for an answer to this but the suggestions were either irrelevant or didn't work:
- I've tried adding the sites to trusted sites, but that didn't make any difference. IE does seem to be recognising them as trusted, but the behaviour is the same.
- I already know how to fix the various cert problems. That's not the point. I specifically want to test sites without sorting out the certs. This is straightforward in Firefox or Chrome, and used to work in IE8.
- The certs are all 2048bit.
- Setting the clock is not relevant here. (and it's correct anyway)
Does anyone know how to get around this?
