Thank you mr. Diladele. Actually when I first ran into this I was using 
your packaged version of Squid on Windows. I just couldn't get it 
working, although I had a wrong certificate (generated in a different 
way on Debian) at first and I didn't notice. But after that was fixed, 
if I remember correclty, I still had the problems with Opera and Chrome.

I have no clue what changed now to remove this problem. Maybe my memory 
is incorrect of this.

The Diladele Squid, of course, was a version 3.5

But if you say the SHA1 warning created the Invalid Certificate warning 
(as you indicate) then perhaps I am mistaken about my Windows problems 
now. In any case I upgraded and now it seems to work :).

Regards...

I would think that Squid doesn't communicate with that server any different than it does with me. So the whole chain is now using something less than it did before.
