(followups set to the Fedora list; the Galeon one seems intent on emulating the proverbial doornail.)
When I try to connect with
https://fedoraproject.com/wiki/SIGs/FedoraMini
using Epiphany, I get a warning with a button, which enables me to accept the ostensibly bad certificate; but when I try with Galeon, I get the warning without the button, and with a very unhelpful suggestion instead.
Galeon's reaction looks like this :
Secure Connection Failed
fedoraproject.com uses an invalid security certificate.
The certificate is only valid for fedoraproject.org
(Error code: ssl_error_bad_cert_domain)
* This could be a problem with the server's configuration, or it could be someone trying to impersonate the server.
* If you have connected to this server successfully in the past, the error may be temporary, and you can try again later.
Or you can add an exception…
You should not add an exception if you are using an internet connection that you do not trust completely or if you are not used to seeing a warning for this server.
If you still wish to add an exception for this site, you can do so in your advanced encryption settings.
<sarcasm mode on> Yaaa, shuuure. Maybe if you have the magic ring and know the secret magic code; I sure couldn't. <sarcasm mode off>
Actually, if the condition claimed by both Epiphany (which did take me to the site when I insisted) and Galeon (which failed) is in fact the case, then the real trouble is an oversight in the fedoraproject wiki -- and perhaps thus correctible by someone on this list.

Use fedoraproject.ORG, not .COM. The fact that the .com address redirects to the official .org site isn't what you want to count on.

Sure enough, that fixes it. Thanks! I *thought* it was odd to see a .com there; but I don't remember where I got it ....
