Hello,

I have a question regarding HSTS:

>> when I have a domain *example.com <http://example.com> *and I also have
a subdomain like *sales.example.com <http://sales.example.com>.*
I am only responsible for *sales.example.com <http://sales.example.com>*,
due to different service providers.
So my question is:

I have a HSTS header on *sales.example.com <http://sales.example.com>
*Strict-Transport-Security:
*max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload*

Since the browser UA caches this *includeSubDomains* for a whole year could
it be that e.g. http://crt.example.com/path/to/example.crt cannot be
reached or does it only counts for *marketing.sales.example.com
<http://marketing.sales.example.com> *because it is a subdomain on
*sales.example.com
<http://sales.example.com>*?

Note there is no header on *example.com <http://example.com> *!!!!!!
because we don't service/manage that domain, we only service/manage the
domain *sales.example.com <http://sales.example.com>*.

I could be wrong that there is no point in having a HSTS header on
*sales.example.com
<http://sales.example.com>* because you should do this on the domain
*example.com
<http://example.com>* but I am not sure about that.

Could you please clarify this for me?

Sincerely,

Harold Stultiens
