Some people get certificate errors on the forums

This error should not be random but comes every time a page that contains
src= or href= http://xyz is loaded.
The error is a serious warning, that the page you are loading contains
unsecure content (http://).
This is the part I have warned about earlier (and dave f. has taken care of
for www). The databases of forum and wiki should be updated (any vm admin
can do that), so that all relevant (ref inside forum/wiki)
src=http://xyzand href=
http://xyz are changed to src=//xyz and href=//xyz.
Thanks, Jan, now the problem is clear for me. Maybe Imacat can do this DB
update.

Coming back to this in light of the recent wiki discussion http://markmail.org/message/22jtkldai7opey2f : for sure Jan is right in saying that the embedded content (not actually all href link, but the meaning is clear) should be served via HTTPS. But I see this as a secondary problem: the root cause is probably at an earlier stage.

If we take as example the link Ricardo posted
https://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=50&t=65462
all requests needed to render the page are done in HTTPS, I've just checked.

So the issue is, again, with the certificate we serve to the client, and I've managed to get the usual erratic behavior (on one system I get the *.apache.org certificate and the mismatch warning, on another system I get the *.openoffice.org certificate and no warning).

Again, to make it repeatable from a machine others have access to,
pescetti@ooo-wiki2-vm:~$ wget "https://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=50&t=65462"; ERROR: certificate common name `*.apache.org' doesn't match requested host name `forum.openoffice.org'.

I've opened
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-7131
to track the problem.

Regards,
  Andrea.
