There is no host, "www.wiki.gnucash.org".
I have no idea why Liz would post a URL like that.
Indeed, I have no idea how or why that would even work!

But yes, the server is set up as "code" being the default, so if it comes 
in with any other non-configueed Host it will use that cert.  If, however, 
you use a valid Host (e.g. wiki.gnucash.org) it will use the correct 
certificate.
