Hi guys,

It's a bit disconcerting to visit bugs.busybox.net and see it doesn't have a certificate recognised by the majority of browsers (see attached).  Others may feel the same and wonder if the site is legitimate.

Did you know that GoDaddy gives free 1-year HTTPS certificates to open source projects?

  https://www.godaddy.com/gdshop/ssl/ssl_opensource.asp

I hope this helps.

Mitch.

I don't think bugzilla's data is that sensitive that I need to bother our service provider with this. Sorry.

Denys, maybe you've missed the point.

If the data isn't sensitive, take the certificate off.  If we need a cert, get a free one that doesn't annoy users.

Having the cert warning message is annoying and looks like a scam.  Do we really want to paint that picture?

Well, I asked the provider about it, and that was their answer - "the data isn't sensitive enough for it".

Since they host busybox site *for free*, I really don't feel it is right to *insist* they work more to satisfy my whims.

Ok I understand that.

If this is the case, can we remove HTTPS access?
Comment 6 Mitch Davis 2010-08-12 00:45:18 UTC
Scratch that idea.  I've suggested a way forward that is both free and easy, but if there is no will to make it happen, let's not worry about it further.

I give up.
