exception error raised in sslstart

Hi Graycode,
Thanks for the explanation of "pipelining" - still a bit too far above my level of understanding, but thank you for the thought!
I've unzipped and installed the first of the zip files you gave and was able to surf the entire vodafone secure website without any problems whatsoever. That's the first time in months! Thank you so much for your help. Just to be clear, I used
v_096q.
I also tried to log in to my Play.com account using it, but still had the same problem. Does anyone else have a config, which gives *some* kind of privacy which a site like Play.com will accept please?
I always feel slightly unclean and abused if I have to disable Prox for any reason!
Thanks for your help,
Momnewbie
