Ssl – Internet Explorer won’t load site

httpsinternet explorerssl

Internet Explorer (versions 6 and 8, on XP) refuse to load https://theveeb.com, giving a server not found error.

http://wiki.theveeb.com works, so it can talk to the apache2 server I have running there.

The only thing I can think of is that IE is hating my SSL setup… but I can't think of why that would be or what I need to do to fix it.

When I try http://theveeb.com in the same browsers, I get the same effect. They should redirect to https://, but they don't seem to, they just error.

Firefox, Uzbl, curl, wget on Ubunt work fine
wget.exe on Windows seems to also work fine

I have found the issue. When you have SSLVerifyClient optional in your config file, IE completely fails to load the page. Wow.
