Re: [Savannah-help-public] Cryptographic software legal notice

[Karl Berry]

Hi Eran,

(Stay on-list please, for posterity.  Your reply included below ....)

    It works if I use http instead of https.

I think you are right that it would be better to use http instead of
https in the "Cryptographic software legal notice" link on the savannah
home page.  I don't see any reason not to, but some other savannah
person does.

If you want to actually do anything with savannah, though, you're going
to have to add either our certificate or the cacert root certificate to
your browser: http://savannah.gnu.org/tls/

Best,
Karl

Greetings Karl,

First, thanks so much for getting back to me.

The link from the home page redirects to:
https://savannah.gnu.org/faq/?admin=&group_id=5802&question=Savannah_-_Is_there_any_restriction_on_cryptographic_software.txt

When I try to go there it gives me this error:

You have asked Firefox to connect
securely to savannah.gnu.org, but we can't confirm that your connection is 
secure.
Normally, when you try to connect securely,
sites will present trusted identification to prove that you are
going to the right place. However, this site's identity can't be verified.

It works if I use http instead of https.

Do you think this is a problem on our side or does it make sense to
address it by changing the link on your page?

Thanks,
