Posted: Sat Dec 22, 2012 5:33 pm Post subject: HTTPS links in notification e-mails from the Gentoo forum |
|
|
Hello.
I'm accessing the Gentoo forum via HTTPS only, but I get notification e-mails with HTTP links. Is it possible to change this and have HTTPS links in e-mails from the forum? I couldn't find such an option in my profile.
Thank you. |

As a slightly less annoying workaround, you can use the HTTPS Everywhere extension. |

Yes, it works for me too. It is what I currently do.

I'll try it. Thank you for the suggestion. |

Well a proper fix would be to have an extra pref for whether to use https for all links (like LWN does), but this should work just as well.
Besides, the last thing the forum needs right now is more modifications... they've been stuck trying to update to phpBB3 for years because there's too much to port over. |

Here's a partial list of the differences from vanilla phpBB, you can see most of those are bespoke features. It's not actually a lot of code to reimplement them, but ensuring an upgrade doesn't break all the content currently here would be a huge amount of work. |

What's the point? It's a self-signed certificate anyway, isn't it? _________________

BoneKracker,
Gentoo uses CAcert as the root certification authority.
However, most browsers don't ship with the CACert certificate installed. Yes, gentoo could provide a patch but its really up to uses whose certificates they want to trust.
Install the CAcert certificate, if you trust it, of course _________________ Regards,

My mistake.
My browser uses the system's root certificates (the /etc/ssl/cacertificates.crt file, which I understand is a consolidated representation of all the certificates in the package).. I see CAcert.org.pem in the directory, so I assume it's in the consolidated crt file. Yet bugzilla always comes up red (warning me there's an issue with the certificate), and the same happens if I try to use https with forums.gentoo.com.
What am I doing wrong? _________________

BoneKracker,
I've always had to install the CAcert for it to be used. I've never looked in the certificate package. _________________ Regards,
