Go-ipfs: certificate is not valid for ipfs.io

[SeavantUUz]

when I run make install for ipfs, error msgs occurred as below.

ERROR: [61 / 97 ] parallel fetch: failed to fetch package: QmY9JXR3FupnYAYJWK9aMr9bCpqWKcToQ1tz8DVGTrHpHw: Post https://ipfs.io/api/v0/get?arg=QmY9JXR3FupnYAYJWK9aMr9bCpqWKcToQ1tz8DVGTrHpHw&encoding=json&stream-channels=true: x509: certificate is valid for *.facebook.com, *.xx.fbcdn.net, *.fbsbx.com, *.xz.fbcdn.net, *.facebook.net, *.xy.fbcdn.net, *.messenger.com, fb.com, *.fbcdn.net, *.fb.com, *.m.facebook.com, messenger.com, facebook.com, not ipfs.io

As I noticed, each fetching actions to ipfs.io bumped the same msg and which looks obviously -- the certificate somehow went wrong .

How did it happen, or, how could I resolve these issues.

Thx.

It seems like a problem on your side, looks like ipfs.io was redirected somehow to facebook IPs.

Finally, I silenced these err msgs after I run an ipfs daemon on the machine. Just download the dist version and run it as a pre-condition. the reason is , the dependencies' path in the source marked by the way of ipfs itself. like u "gx/ipfs/QmNiJuT8Ja3hMVpBHXv3Q6dwmperaQ6JjLtpMQgMCD7xvx/go-ipfs-util"

is it interesting ? or have I made some mistakes? if not, shouldn't it be pointed in the readme file?

Thx.

@SeavantUUz
Is it possible the national firewall is causing issues with the ipfs.io domain?
A friend of mine in Guangxi _sometimes_ has issues downloading from the public gateway but does not have issues getting content from me directly with ipfs get which is similar to how gx works if you have a local daemon running, you will fetch content from nodes directly over ipfs instead of over http.

Seam problem, The reason is dns server return wrong ip, So just add a line "209.94.78.78 ipfs.io" to /etc/hosts, problem will be solved.

As others pointed out, the cause behind this issue is governments hijacking ipfs.io domain. I'm closing the issue as there is nothing we can do in go-ipfs to resolve this.
