This problem does not happen with IE8 or Opera 10.70 beta. I'm using the light mode of this beta configuration with no substantial changes other than allowing https filtering.

Proxomitron is using (has to use) a self-signed certificate.

Here's what's apparently happening:
You visit wellsfargo.com, get some flavor of "self signed cert" warning from your browser, confirm it for wellsfargo.com.
However, the external stylesheet is served from https://a248.e.akamai.net/ .
If the latter were an HTML main page or frame, you'd have the chance to confirm the exception, but it isn't, it's a CSS.

Since you're using the beta, you could - as a test- click "Show 2 CSS" in the Prox menu (i *think* it's enabled for light mode too), and confirm the warning there.

If the layout is okay after reload, then there is a general work-around:
Half-SSL is a method that causes Proxomitron to transfer the decrypted page to the browser as is. The browser thinks it is receiving a normal HTTP document. You can activate that with the header filter "! |||||||||||| 2.2 Use Half-SSL" (number may vary with config version).
