Yup. Every now and then the WN elite free-WiFi login page throws an cert error and because it's way too easy to spoof that I keep retrying 'till the lock comes up.

I should probably plug "NeverSSL" here- as it eponymously states, it doesn't use SSL so it's perfect for being the first site you open after connecting to a captive-portal network to bring up the TOS page (if any).
