Re: [mv] Checkout weirdness...

******    message to minivend-users from Eric Paul <epaul@spellbook.net>     ******

I just got this message from one of my end users.  I thought that the 
Thawte certs were supposed to fall back to 40 bit?  Or is it simply the 
browser that has a bug in it?

-----------
     I figured it out... the secure page still wasn't working when I got home
yesterday.  It was a problem with IE and the 128 bit encryption.  I guess I
had IE 5.0 installed, not 5.5, and it was just vanilla 5.0.  You need 5.01
(the 128-bit encryption update) to get it to work.  Sorry about all that, it
was my fault ;)
----------

I'll be emailing Thawte shortly.  Any advice?
