Title: Server Certificate Expired (again)
Post by: jasnw on December 23, 2018, 03:52:34 PM
I suggested someone get ExifTool and they got back to me complaining that they had to "jump through hoops" to get into the site.  I tried it, and ran into the "Server Certificate Expired" problem (this is in Firefox).  It says the certificate expired today, but I've seen places where the certificate has ALWAYS expired on whatever day it is you're visiting the site.  Anyway, you should get this fixed because it is scaring people away from a very useful (and thank-you again) tool.

Do you still get this?  I tried loading both the forum and the ExifTool home page with Firefox and didn't have any issues.

I get it when I try to load https://exiftool.org/ but it's not there, of course, if I just use http.  The forum only seems to load for me with http, not with https.

Google will direct to the main site with https, which is probably where the problem is.

Ah, right.  HTTPS.

Thanks.

I've sent a mail to our sysadmin, but since this is the start of the xmas holidays (of course), I expect it won't get fixed for a while.

Interesting that this works (the URL that I always reference):

https://exiftool.org/

but this doesn't

https://exiftool.org/

I have never publicized this second URL.  I blame Google for propagating it, because the Google search engine must have realized that these two URL's are for the same server.

Hey.  Our sysadmin fixed this!  On the day before Christmas!  I'm impressed.  He's on official holiday until Jan 2.
