There are some windows programs which do not like https by the way, totally unrelated to this I know but worth mentioning. Juice podcast downloader has issues with https podcast sites like audioboom, but not normal ones like bbc etc.

addons.nvda-project.org doesn't support SSL at all. When you access it via
https, the server is falling back to nvaccess.org, so the certificate will
show as invalid. I'm doing some server upgrades in the next few weeks and
will hopefully move everything to https in the process. Thanks for the
reminder that I need to include the addons site in this work.

Btw, while this used to be hosted on Mesar's server, it's all hosted by NV
Access now, so I configured the server and manage everything server related.

Hi,



When I try to go to add-ons website via HTTPS (URL:
https://addons.nvda-project.org), I get certificate error and unsecure
connection errors in IE and FF, respectively. This might be due to domains,
or something Mesar did when he configured the current add-ons website. I
recommend that we try to use HTTPS, both for the website as well as when
accessing a future add-ons database via add-on update client. Thanks.

Cheers,

Joseph
