I can no longer get to my internet hosting provider's webmail interface from IE.

I can telnet to port 80 and get appropriate response, and sure enuf I can access it using FireFox, The status bar shows "opening page" xxxx but doesn't actually get there, just sort of hangs before timing out .

The page cannot be displayed

The page you are looking for is currently unavailable. The Web site might be experiencing technical difficulties, or you may need to adjust your browser settings.

Other sites, yahoo, my ISP's webmail, etc all work. I tried clearing all IE cached stuff but can't seem to get it to work. Any ideas? And yeah, IE really sucks, but I want to know why IE broke.

Download Yatt and watch the headers. See where things go wrong.

Just realized it redirected https, and the site has an invalid SSL certificate and IE security turned on. Thanks Steven. I wouldn't have figured it out without the trace.
