Yesterday I posted something about how to get certificates from CAcert.org acknowledged in your browser.
However, there was actually a problem with my site, so I apologize to everyone who already pointed me onto this. The problem was:
Including the CAcert certificate, updating the Apache installation, and walking through the howto from codex.wordpress.org wasn’t enough. That way, I could login and administer WP securely, but there are other places where Wordpress uses the variable ’siteurl’, and so the CSS stylesheet, or things like RPC-XML where referenced with ‘https’ instead of ‘http’, which produced error messages in some browsers and on some operating systems.
So now I switched that back, and looked into Wordpress’s Trac system, where I found a patch. Sadly, that patch uses WP 2.1 and greater, and these are not yet released.
Good things come to those who wait… or so they say.
