        Hi,
if I got your question right, the "BAD" certificate is usually when the
server uses either self-signed certificate, or it's signed by an
authority which you do not trust. Another option, thought I think it's
not in your 3.2.x, is that you wrote different host name than the
certificate is issued for, or the server redirected the connection to
another host.

In 3.8.x you'll be presented with certificate itself, thus you will be
able to examine the certificate.

Currently, you should be able to tell it "Accept Permanently", to
indicate it's fine from your point of view, and the certificate will be
saved and it'll be noted that this is correct. Then you'll not be asked
for the acceptance again (or you should not be at least, even in 3.2.x).
        Bye,
