Hi SAC, there seems to be a virtualhost mixup on the server hosting
MapServer.org. There is no HTTPS site for MapServer, but
https://mapserver.org/ points to a GRASS site. The same issue may be
present for other sites on the same server.

Was this already fixed? Works fine from here at least.

Still an issue for me, and I'm not alone since this was reported by others
at the Paris sprint last week.

I can confirm, http is fine https if you except the invalid certificate
that doesn't match goes to GRASS. Perhaps a temporary redirect for https
connections for now until we work out a valid certificate.

I'm going to suggest we try this route for getting a free https
certificate https://letsencrypt.org/getting-started/

FYI we've started using letsencrypt here at Mapgears a few weeks ago and
it works great. It's straightforward and provides a certificate that's
trusted by the browsers.

Comment (by dmorissette):

And actually, in the mapserver.org case, and possibly others, we do not
need the https for now, so it may be better to have a permanent redirect
to the http site to avoid duplicating the website contents and search
engine references under two sets of URLs.

Sorry, I missed the s - so it's not working for me either. Sorry for the
noise.

Comment:

This issue appears to be due to an improper SSL certificate, here is the
error text from firefox:

{{{
mapserver.org uses an invalid security certificate.
The certificate is only valid for drone.osgeo.org
Error code: SSL_ERROR_BAD_CERT_DOMAIN
}}}
