HTTPS

{{Editprotected}} Please change http:// to the protocol-relative syntax //. Lugusto • ※ 20:08, 3 April 2020 (UTC)

@555:  Not done. Unfortunately planalto.gov.br (example HTTPS URL) uses an invalid certificate. Users should not be sent to a site with invalid certificate. I don’t know if you have any connection to the maintainers of the site, but if you have, please urge them to use a valid certificate, e.g. one issued by Let’s Encrypt. (By the way, I don’t think protocol-relative URLs are a good idea. Commons is HTTPS-only anyway; if some mirror site uses HTTP, why send users to the HTTP version? I would definitely use not protocol-relative https:// URLs if they worked without any warnings.) —Tacsipacsi (talk) 00:53, 4 April 2020 (UTC)

@Tacsipacsi: Oddly Chrome 80.0.3987.163 says that the certificate is valid. BTW I'm not connected in any matter to the maintainers of the site, just remembered to check for a info based in this template. Lugusto • ※ 17:13, 4 April 2020 (UTC)

@555: Now I checked a few more browsers. Chrome 80.3987.149 accepts for me as well, but it’s the only one out of the four. Neither Firefox 74.0.1, nor Firefox 68.6.0esr, nor Chromium 73.0.3683.75 accepts the certificate. I also found a page on the root certificate issuer’s website that explains how to install their certificates manually – this means that these certificates are not (yet) widely accepted. Hopefully they will be in a few months. I don’t expect Firefox ESR to accept it before the next major version, v78, scheduled for June, and v68 will be supported till August-September, but hopefully everything else will also accept it by the end of September. (Yeah, I was quite certain that you won’t be connected to the maintainers of the site, just hoped that what if you are. But now I also see that it’s not up to the site maintainers, but rather up to the browser vendors.) —Tacsipacsi (talk) 20:32, 4 April 2020 (UTC)
