[Project_owners] auto certificate acceptance

[Konstantin Svist]

The browser only asks this if the certificate is not authenticated by a 
known CA (Certificate Authority)

You need to purchase an SSL certificate from a CA - then the browser 
will not pop up a dialog and will open the page right away.

The message does not convey too well to the user that the certificate in 
question has a problem - either it was self-issued (which, incidentally, 
is perfectly okay for internal use, e.g. connecting to a computer on 
your own network) or has already expired.


I bought a certificate from godaddy last year - it was pretty cheap 
(about $20/year)



Hope this helps
