Description:
Hi I just randomly get to enter this address:
https://www.fa.wikipedia.org/
and I get "This Connection is Untrusted" alert.
I have tried the same with English Wikipedia and get the same result.
so I think it is a problem with all
https://www.[ln-code].wiki[pedia|source|...].org
connections.
Is it intentional or just a bug?

Browsers tested with:

  • Firefox 27.0.1 Linux Ubuntu 12.4
  • Chromium 32.0.1700.107 Linux Ubuntu 12.04

Best Regards

So the error is in firefox:
(Error code: ssl_error_bad_cert_domain)

These URLs are not included in the certificate, so that triggers the error.

I never saw these URLs. Should these URLs be supported, or should this bug be marked as WONTFIX?

It's definitely a WONTFIX sort of thing, but I'm leaving this open for now because those hostnames do exist in our DNS, and should be deprecated and removed.
