URLs AAA and BBB are believed to be, currently, for the websites of the
U.S. Navy Numerical Weather Prediction Unit(FNMOC) and for the U.S.
Military Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) in the western Pacific,
respectively.
Both of these facilities have had splendid websites at which the amateur
as well as the professional could obtain authentic,
up-to-date, information and be educated in the process. I am a MSNTV
subscriber (formerly WebTV) and when I try to access these sites, I get
the following popup message:
"Your receiver could not establish secure communications with the requested website"
This is the first time this has happened in the over five years I've been on the Interrrnet.
AAA
https://www.fnmoc.navy.mil/CGI/notif...MAP/index.html
BBB
https://metoc.npmoc.navy.mil//jtwc.htm

The "old" URL for the JTWC is:
http://www.npmoc.navy.mil/jtwc.html
And according to the National Hurricane
Center website it is still this URL(as of Tuesday afternoon, Sept 30).
However, when I try to access this website with this URL. I get the following
popup message:
"The item chosen cotains a kind of information that can't be used."
another "over 5-year first".
I can't locate the "old" URL for the FNMOC so I don't know what would happen there.
Does anyone in this Group know what is going on with these websites
and,also, how could they be accessed particularily by a MSNTV subscriber?
Thank you so much for your help.

Don't know about fnmoc, but some time ago the JTWC had a thing on its
web page where you were required(?) to accept a security certificate.
(Though I must say it's not entirely clear to me that this was
*really* necessary as the two systems I was using at the time ended up
with rather different proceedures when accessing the site after one of
them appeared to "lose" the certificate -- but it still got there!)


Cheers, Phred.
