How to use Selenium RC test a HTTPS website

[Simon]

I want to Selenium RC to test a https website such as https://mail.google.com.
I need to test the website using IE and Firefox browsers. But I failed
to access the website via IE except for Firefox. I tried on it using
many ways according by Selenium official website and others. What's
reason?

Try using *iehta instead of *iexplorer.

and *chrome instead of *firefox.

Thank you. How to deal with it if the website lacks CA?

The easiest way to do it is to enable straight http:// in your dev
environment, test everything automated, then turn on https:// and do
enough manual testing to build confidence that your software works
identically under both environments. The biggest problem we've had is
that our export to word (.rtf) seems to cut out the images in https://
but work just fine under http. Otherwise, it's pretty much the same.

You can also configure sellenium to use the cybervillans certificate
( http://selenium-rc.openqa.org/tutorial.html#https ) - but that's
basically telling it to bypass the very secrutiy functionality you are
trying to test! So be sure you do manual testing before you release it
to the world!

Hey, anybody planning on GTAC 2008? It's in Seattle. We should
invite Jon Bach. (This guys -
