Looks like an internal problem to BoA. The redirect works, and I get an immediate reply. The https redirect page appears boinked. Even with a -k curl took over 30 seconds to get the page, and the browser would have timed out. robert@Robert ~ $ curl -i -G www.bankofamerica.com HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently Server: Sun-ONE-Web-Server/6.1 Date: Fri, 29 Jan 2010 19:25:08 GMT Content-length: 122 Content-type: text/html Location: https://www.bankofamerica.com/index.jsp Connection: close <HTML><HEAD><TITLE>Moved Permanently</TITLE></HEAD> <BODY><H1>Moved Permanently</H1> An error has occurred. </BODY></HTML> robert@Robert ~ $ curl -i -G www.bankofamerica.com HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently Server: Sun-ONE-Web-Server/6.1 Date: Fri, 29 Jan 2010 19:25:28 GMT Content-length: 122 Content-type: text/html Location: https://www.bankofamerica.com/index.jsp Connection: close <HTML><HEAD><TITLE>Moved Permanently</TITLE></HEAD> <BODY><H1>Moved Permanently</H1> An error has occurred. </BODY></HTML> robert@Robert ~ $ curl -i -G https://www.bankofamerica.com/index.jsp curl: (60) SSL certificate problem, verify that the CA cert is OK. Details: error:14090086:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_SERVER_CERTIFICATE:certificate verify failed More details here: http://curl.haxx.se/docs/sslcerts.html curl performs SSL certificate verification by default, using a "bundle" of Certificate Authority (CA) public keys (CA certs). If the default bundle file isn't adequate, you can specify an alternate file using the --cacert option. If this HTTPS server uses a certificate signed by a CA represented in the bundle, the certificate verification probably failed due to a problem with the certificate (it might be expired, or the name might not match the domain name in the URL). If you'd like to turn off curl's verification of the certificate, use the -k (or --insecure) option. robert@Robert ~ $ curl -k -i -G https://www.bankofamerica.com/index.jsp Robert D.
