Untrusted Twitter

untrusted server certificateWhy is Twitter’s SSL certificate not trusted by the iPhone? Because of this, I can’t log in via Safari. Sure, Tweetie has eliminated my need for logging in this way, but I’m still a bit surprised that this hasn’t been fixed.

    Here’s what Firefox tells me:

    Secure Connection Failed

    http://www.twitter.com uses an invalid security certificate.

    The certificate is only valid for twitter.com

    (Error code: ssl_error_bad_cert_domain)

    So go to twitter.com, without the www?

    Adding in the www to the URL allowed me to login. It seems they need to put some redirects in place in order for the average user to be able to figure these things out. Thanks, Jason!
