SUMMARY
Some versions of Netscape Navigator have an issue that causes cross-site sign-in or registration posts to fail when certain proxies are used.



MORE INFORMATION

 * In Microsoft Windows NT, Navigator 4.0 fails from non-Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) to SSL and from SSL to SSL. Version 4.04 and later browsers do not have this problem.
 * In Microsoft Windows 95 or Windows 98, Navigator 3.04 fails from non-SSL to SSL and from SSL to SSL. Version 4.0 and later browsers do not have this problem.
 * Navigator 3 users are specifically blocked from using the Passport express purchase service because their information cannot be kept secure if used through a proxy.
