Sigh, you wait awhile to make sure it's not an intermittent thing and then as
soon as you post it it stops working (or maybe someone from Visa is reading
this list and took it down quickly :-).  What it was doing until now was a
really convincing simulation of a phishing attack, the Firefox error message
was:

  visa.com uses an invalid security certificate.

  The certificate is not trusted because it is self-signed.
  The certificate is only valid for MIA21793WWW002.managed.cln.

  (Error code: sec_error_ca_cert_invalid)

Unfortunately posting that bit to the list kinda lessens the effect of seeing
it live.  Good thing I saved a screenshot while it was still active :-).

Peter.
