Author server error attempting update-site connection

Unable to open 'https://home.comcast.net/~user.name'.
Server error:
Possible causes: 1. Webserver may not have FP ext installed (it does); 2.
may be out of service (it's not); 3. (proxy settings (no proxy, direct
PC-to-cable-modem); 4. Error in web server (I can open the destination
address in IE).
I downloaded my website into FrontPage 2003 and made some minor edits to a
web page. Now I am trying to update the site using FrontPage Server
Extensions. The site is on Comcast; their status page shows FrontPage Server
Extensions is active for this site. I've got my site location entered as
specified by Comcast & Frontpage. (The only wrinkle I can see may be that my
username really does include a dot [yes, bob.davis3 is the actual username],
but neither Comcast nor Frontpage warn about this.)
Any ideas?

Do you really mean to update thru the https? Check that comcast has
the extensions installed for https as well as http.

Unless you have asked them to enable a secure server you need to access
the site with http and not https.
