Sublime Text Unofficial Documentation website throws an SSL error

#1

Today I noticed that if I follow the link https://docs.sublimetext.info/en/latest/index.html my browsers (Firefox, Chrome, IE) will throw the following error:

  • SSL_ERROR_BAD_CERT_DOMAIN (Firefox)
  • NET::ERR_CERT_COMMON_NAME_INVALID (Chrome)

The browser says the certificate that is used is only valid for *.readthedocs.org, readthedocs.org.

I also noticed that on your various links to Sublime Text Unofficial Documentation you sometimes link to the https and sometimes link to the http version.

From https://www.sublimetext.com/docs/3/ you link to the http version. From https://www.sublimetext.com/support you link to the https version.

Seems like a year known problem. In that case all the links on the Sublime website should be changed to: https://sublime-text-unofficial-documentation.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ to prevent those errors.

Is here the right place to communicate that or should that suggestion being placed?

you could also file it at https://github.com/SublimeTextIssues/Core/issues/ to help ensure the ST devs don’t forget about it, I’m sure they are busy with other things at the moment, and the forum doesn’t offer a convenient way to track bug statues.

As mentioned in the issue, this is unfortunately not within my power range, but ideally I would want to look into using github pages with continuous deployment through some ci runner (like Travis) that has a much higher turnover rate, is easier to manage (from my side at least) and is totally free of charge. Rtd is as well, but their certificates don’t work with the custom domain and they show ads for their hosting.

Hopefully we will get around to changing things some time next months.

Why is using a custom domain for that important? Personally, I don’t mind on what domain the docs are laying. ReadTheDocs is fine.
