Are you sure that these 'specific domain' certs. do *not*
work off every domain?

Yes, they're very specific about that. And I can see the sense in it,
even though it causes me problems. What better way to verify the
identity of the source of an applet?

I find the idea rather extraordinary,
even for Thawte (whom I consider to be 'highway robbers').

Hmm. Compared to Verisign, who own them, Thawte are very modest in
their demands. But that doesn't help me with my present difficulty, I'm
afraid.
