What is the "s" in some URLs?
Seems like these lead to "New Site Certificate" and "Certificate Authority Is Expired".

I believe the "s" is for secure.

Well, I have never seen a swww so I don't know about that. https stands for Secure HTTP. The reason you get the thing about the certificate is that, in order for a site to provide secure information, they need to have a security certifite. This protects your information and does the actual encrypting and decrypting. Usually if a site comes up with 'Invalid Certificate' or something like that, you are still usually safe, but if in doubt, don't continue.

Microsoft had a tech article about the Certificates and the expiration. Seems many of them expired Dec 31,1999, one of the Y2K bugs. I'm not sure what has to be done to "renew" one.
