SSL error when searching stuck pets?

[azurazebra]

I've been manually searching stuck pets with the help of /~Sasml to try and find some cool pets.

HOWEVER, on some of the results, the url was https.neopets.com/<insert petlookup here> and this error has been coming up:

 

This is probably not the site that you're looking for!

You attempted to reach www.neopets.com but instead you actually reached a server identifying itself as secure.neopets.com.

This may be caused by a misconfiguration of the server or something more serious. An attacker on your network could be rying to get you to visit a fake (and potentially harmful) version of www.neopets.com.

You should not proceed especially if you have never seen this warning before for this site.

 

It then gives me the option to turn back or proceed anyway.

 

Anyone else have this problem, and anyone know what it means?

The https:// version of neopets gives me that warning too, but I just browse to neo with http://. If you manually change the URL from https:// to http:// you get to the pet lookup without any problems :)

Oh, thank you! I will do that from now on to prevent anything from happening!
