Hi! |

Upstream Chrome is discussing a potential change that we try to block |
| 4 |
users following a HTTPS->HTTP for high-risk files, including tarballs. |

Further below is some quick analysis I did on the state of HTTP for the mirrors |
| 8 |
that are presently listed only as HTTP. |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
In the era of LetsEncrypt, how many mirror administrators have a little time to |
| 11 |
add HTTPS to their mirrors, along with a cronjob to auto-refresh the |
| 12 |
certificates? |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
The state of HTTP/HTTPS on Gentoo mirrors: |
| 15 |
59 mirrors total |
| 16 |
===== |
| 17 |
1 HTTPS-only |
| 18 |
27 HTTP+HTTPS |
| 19 |
31 HTTP-only |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
Of the HTTP-only mirrors, only 1 is on a non-standard port. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
Of the HTTP-only mirrors, I went to test if of them had working HTTPS |
| 24 |
that wasn't documented in distfiles.xml, and if not, what responses |
| 25 |
there were (I think I got an off-by-one try to summarize the errors). |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
2 200 OK |
| 28 |
24 No connection: Connection refused, Connection timed out, No route to host |
| 29 |
3 Horrible SSL certs |
| 30 |
2 SSL_ERROR_BAD_CERT_DOMAIN/The name in the certificate does not match the expected, but everything else was otherwise good. |
| 31 |
1 HTTP on port 443 (SSL_ERROR_RX_RECORD_TOO_LONG) |
| 32 |
==== |
| 33 |
32 errors |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
Horrible SSL certs, error breakdown; some mirrors had MORE than one error in their cert: |
| 36 |
3 - SEC_ERROR_UNKNOWN_ISSUER/The certificate issuer is unknown [1] |
| 37 |
2 - The certificate chain uses insecure algorithm (RSA-SHA1) |
| 38 |
3 - SEC_ERROR_EXPIRED_CERTIFICATE/The certificate chain uses expired certificate [2] |
| 39 |
3 - SSL_ERROR_BAD_CERT_DOMAIN/The name in the certificate does not match the expected. |
| 40 |
1 - SEC_ERROR_UNRECOGNIZED_OID [3] |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
[1] SEC_ERROR_UNKNOWN_ISSUER: |
| 43 |
- self-signed |
| 44 |
- defunct CA |
| 45 |
- missing intermediate |
| 46 |
|
| 47 |
[2] SEC_ERROR_EXPIRED_CERTIFICATE: |
| 48 |
Past-expiry ranges 1 month to 4 years ago! |
| 49 |
|
| 50 |
[3] SEC_ERROR_UNRECOGNIZED_OID: |
| 51 |
OpenSSL & GnuTLS handled this cert, but NSS failed on it. |
