Links to old threads broken?

Post by Mike W. »

I've got a bunch of old threads bookmarked.  Not many are going to cause the earth to stop spinning, but still I like referring to them from time to time.  This is on links that used to work just fine.  Your end, my end, over under, sideways down?

However, now I'm getting an error message,
Bad Request

Your browser sent a request that this server could not understand.
Reason: You're speaking plain HTTP to an SSL-enabled server port.
Instead use the HTTPS scheme to access this URL, please.

The error message is quite clear. Do as it says. 

http: is inherently insecure and mixing http: with https: is vervbiten. In the last 10 years the Internet (browsers and webservers) have basically banned it 

replace http: in your links with https:

End of story.

Thanks Tig.  Not quite that simple.  As posted above it does show the http, but the link it went to was just www.mye28.com/viewtopic.php?t=89070&pos ... sc&start=0 at least in the address bar.  So I've got to add https:// not just the s at the end. It does seem to automatically add the two forward slashes.

Got it figured out though, thanks for this and all your work here.

THIS was a broken config. Going to these WAS broken:

Code: Select all

mye28.com
www.mye28.com
As of 2 minutes ago they now work properly; as though you were going to:

Code: Select all

Thanks for letting me know Mike!
