Mactan Network Tools - Feedback, etc.

[Corile]

No idea what that is and why it is important. So if you could explain if it is worthwhile to contact Bogus about it, I might consider it.

This causes two things: first, if anyone wants to access https://lh.discoverygc.com, they will see this:



This is not the case for accessing it under http:// (instead of https://) but there are many reasons why we are moving away from unencrypted web traffic and you will find many browsers these days (even quite commonly used ones such as Brave, or some vendor mobile ones) going for the "https everywhere" option. They will automatically redirect http:// to https:// and show the user the above screen.

Furthermore, it causes LH transmissions to load images over http:// on a website which is served over https://. This causes mixed content warnings in older versions of Chrome:



However, future versions of Chrome and Chromium might outright block loading mixed content. Brave already does this, which is why I see this when I look at LH transmissions:





So that's the why. As for how, I don't know how you handle your certificates. Disco forums uses Lets Encrypt which is free and renews every three months. You might want to get in touch with whoever owns the discoverygc.com domain and with whoever is responsible for hosting the mactan network. The certs on lh.discoverygc.com expired two years ago, if that's any help, and you should probably switch to using Lets Encrypt, too (https://letsencrypt.org/).



Hope this helps.
