At the WWDC, Steve Jobs announced the availability of
the Safari web browser for the Windows platform. In spite of having my
doubts, I couldn’t resist and have installed it. The very first thing I
test is accessing a site secured with a self-issued SSL certificate. Safari
complains that it cannot connect to the site because it couldn’t establish a
secure connection to the server. I realize this might be a bit premature, but
surely, the Apple developers thought of certificates? I can’t find anything in
the preferences, and Safari doesn’t use the Microsoft Certificate Store. The
supplied help file isn’t quite communicative either…
Duh! That was
copied off the Mac OS X help: Windows has no key chain. :-) I’ve also browsed
through
C:\\Program Files\\Safari
, but there is nothing suspicious to me
there either. I’ve complained before about Safari’s (on Mac OS X) lacking
in this area.
