Hi, group

I just want to let you know about a strange issue. i have implemented
recaptcha into my ssl website (i am using http://recaptcha.riaforge.org/);
everything is working fine if i am not enable recaptcha ssl.

If i enable SSL to recaptch as an argument recaptcha doea not show
into my webpage. I have tried to access link alone in Opera 11, IE
8/9, Firefox 4 and Google Chrome. All browsers issue a warning
complain about ssl certificate from api.recaptch.net

Here is a link test:
https://api.recaptcha.net/noscript?k=6LdlMsUSAAAAAK5pctrRUK4Hge0ngBZPctgfWZuU

I have done a test for ssl check on ape.recaptcha.net from:
http://www.networking4all.com/en/support/tools/site+check/report/?fqdn=api.recaptcha.net&protocol=https
and seems to be a problem with intermediate certificate config for
subdomain. I have encounted this situation myself for one of my
website and

SSLCACertificateFile /path/to/intermediate_ca.crt

did a great job.

Does anybody encount this situation too ?

best regards

PJH

For some reason, there are some people of below-average intelligence
who appear to be under the impression that this group is dedicated to
cracking captchas by outsourcing the actual solving/typing and paying
a miniscule amount per 100/1000 captcha's solved.

Raj appears to be one of these people.

ZDNet has an article on it here:
