Bruce,
I turned on error reporting in the webserver and tried it again. Nothing. No error thrown by the server. The only error that I see is when IE8 eventually times out - I get a "DNS Error - Server cannot be found" error. I have tried connecting via the local IP address and the result is the same.
I am using the same machine for all five browsers. Only IE8 is being stubborn. I have connected using other browsers from other computers (using the URL below) but IE8 just isn't playing nice there, either.
I will try to leave the program up for a few days. If you (or anyone) would like to give it a try, point your Internet Explorer browser to the following URL:
https://www.neinonline.comFeel free to try it with other browsers as well.
The certificate is registered to trailerlocators.com so it should complain. If you get a certificate error using the URL above, you will have achieved a better success than I have.
As I mentioned before, all other browsers I have tried have had no problem connecting to the server.
My IE8 connects to other EV SSL sites such as E*Trade just fine.
The server is built with Clarion 8.0.8973 and NetTalk 6.38, running on Windows 7 Professional on an old Pentium 4 XPS computer (I think it's about time for an upgrade) with 4G RAM.
Thanks!
Rob
