I sometimes experienced similar strange behaviors with certificates.
I do not know very well how certificates work, but I think time is a factor
and if responses arrive too late the certificate is not correctly recognize=

(please, be patient if I'm wrong, my knowledge on the topic is vague).

I notice that we are both from Italy: I wonder if the problem is that our
connections sometimes are too slow to have certificates work correctly.
