https-finder - issue #53

pprune.org always forced to https, but it doesn't support it

1) go to http://www.pprune.org 2) watch the web page come up 3) watch https-finder change the URL to https://pprune.org 4) marvel at the error "The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading"

using 0.85 with firefox 10.0.2 and win 7 ultimate 64 bit

It would be nice if there was a way to exclude certain sites...

From what I can tell, this is due to how there server is configured. It's pretty rare as I've never seen this or had a user report an issue like it.

There's an easy way around it.. In Firefox:

1) Press Alt+T (or click Tools) 2) Go to HTTPS Finder > Preferences 3) In the whitelist textbox, add the following items pprune.org www.pprune.org 4) Click Ok

That should make HTTPS Finder ignore that site in the future. Let me know if you still have problems with it.

Works like a charm.

Now I want to know why I didn't see the whitelist option before?

Sorry for the pebcak bug report.
