HTTPS has evolved a lot since then, whenever then might be. I'm currently running Firefox 45.0 and can access the forums fine, so it seems you're 25 versions behind. Perhaps Firefox releng can help you? Or perhaps you can just update. > echo "GET http://forums.freebsd.org/index.html" | ./nc > forums.freebsd.org 80 <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML > 2.0//EN"> <html><head> <title>301 Moved Permanently</title> > </head><body> <h1>Moved Permanently</h1> <p>The document has moved > <a href="https://forums.freebsd.org/index.html">here</a>.</p>; > </body></html> > > i can't even trace down why because the web server is showing "." > as the altered location. No, the web server is not showing "." as the altered location, it's showing the same URL with https (forcing you to use SSL and HTTPS, which incidentally generally is useful in protecting free speech as well as your login details). > > there is no help on freeBSD about forum access difficulty i can > find > This is not a FreeBSD issue, it's a you issue.

Apart from not connecting to sites which properly configure SSL, it's not all that secure.

This makes about as much sense as the rest of your message. The registration of a domain does not mean anything. Also, BSD has its' roots in Berkeley, but it doesn't make it a "california" product. As far as I am aware, the foundation is ran out of Colorado where it probably holds it's status for the organization. AT&T BSD is long gone and isn't an issue anymore. The country of origin or where the registrar is located is not really relevant to anything. I recommend you indulge your bigotry somewhere else. > > ----------------------- > > (i sound harsh to some, but i'm a pushover mostly) > Harsh is hardly the word I would've used to describe the last message. > but then if i was, i should be harsh when those who are > un-initiated are being pushed aside is that right ? > > thank you have a good day > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To > unsubscribe, send any mail to > "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" - -- Take care, Ty Twitter: @sorressean Web: https://tysdomain.com Pubkey: https://tysdomain.com/files/pubkey.asc -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJW+hSaAAoJEAdP60+BYxejuQIH/jrfSS69O1LETi30g+FE4kL6 WvMQK1FQzgmFaYggLHJ6wGF4P/iPxrU+ns+pKDmcq7EnDG6AavML+U1L0lTRcBn/ wlpOb/UW7BbBhste9MqC40pOral7XOWv9NvBtV512s0GHa0QRdsJNeoRh7nQMSHU QBuD83nkxPupKBmtAjd8cFXlU8XwusPVz+MRR3pVGIzEvXw2Iu9Ho3j1C5rWtlAr /oEoQ4Uw78IRSUAlUMzvBB5EcYqEhp3iRkhnLXpDXwbdqkVN9+j5XhqnWTAGpdp+ lVfj2ucjJR9YOS6OpRDKigr30G665XbHVwanmT+CNz0k8Ta7fGk0r81LRDgs5s4= =3E65 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
