wordpress icecat ssl connection failed

Icecat seems to open the URL just fine.

Wordpress is an open source webpage-creation package that is open to new apps from just about any source,
but there is insufficient vetting of new material. Users must be exceptionally vigilant that their own
wordpress installations use only current and trusted apps that come from official wordpress.com sites and
not from third-party authors.

I looked into the consequences by examining the access logs of my own website, which does not use wordpress:

Summarizing those results: A worldwide 364/24/7 attack on my [non-existent] wordpress installation.

Currently, even though dig wordpress.com returns two IP addresses, there are actually many more IP addresses
that return "wordpress.com" upon receiving a dig -x inquiry; my current list has 67 addresses. They are all
owned by a single entity and are probably legitimate. That still causes a lot of trouble for their users:

dig -x 66.155.9.238 ==> PTR wordpress.com

dig -x 192.0.77.32 ==> PTR wordpress.com
