Spock: Spock HTTPS certificate should be valid

[lacasseio]

Issue description

Browsing to https://spockframework.org/ gives a NET::ERR_CERT_COMMON_NAME_INVALID. I would expect the certificate to be valid.

The certificate is for *.github.com. If I'm not mistaking, the website is hosted on GitHub Page so maybe this blog post could help with solving this issue: https://github.blog/2018-05-01-github-pages-custom-domains-https/

How to reproduce

Browse to https://spockframework.org/

Wanted to report the same :)

I can't really do much about it as long as @pniederw still holds the domain.

If it is impossible to secure the current domain maybe ditch it. Go full github pages without custom domain and if possible create a redirect from the old domain?

Downgrading to a sub-domain of some service is imho a very bad option.
Especially as you never know how long the service survives.

[danielrehmann]

But the current situation is even worse. I do not say it's a good solution, but it's much better than using wrong certificats and having an insecure connection. If you have a better suggestion feel free to share your thoughts.

[Vampire]

Well, it is not insecure, just because the hostname does not match.
The connection is still secure if you continue.
Of course the situation is suboptimal, but downgrading to a subdomain of someone elses domain that will be gone in 2 years is non-sense.
Either get it fixed up (there are people currently trying to reach Peter) or settle on a new domain.
And no, I don't have better suggestions that those that are already present and I just repeated. I just voted against a suggestion I think makes absolutely no sense.

[danielrehmann]

I was not talking about a random subdomain service i was talking about github pages that still have a professional vibe and can be used with a custom domain as soon as it is available.

[danielrehmann]

Quick lookup showed that spocktest.org is also available. Moving to a new domain might be a different option.

Yay, I finally made contact, now hopefully all will become good :-)

[JLLeitschuh]

Still broken

[Vampire]

Of course, I said I just made contact and said all will become good, not all is good, neither did I close the ticket. ;-)

[JLLeitschuh]

AH! Makes sense! Thanks!!

[leonard84]

It works now.
