[ALL] Shaw.ca SSL certificate expired.

What page? Just checked webmail, my account and all are fine. I just personally ran into my own certificate expiring and was quickly renewed within a few minutes. Maybe they've already taken care of this.

Since the actual secure pages are showing a proper certificate I wouldn't worry too much. If the account or webmail was showing an improper certificate I would worry, not the main page of the site, though.

This is a tricky one rusty, some certificates that are already valid inside the browser might stay in browser and not check the time stamp on the current cert if a cookie is already in place on the old cert and the ip is still correct. He is using chrome which might check for the cert every time it connects and refreshes the ssl cert every time and opperate independantly from the cookies.

This might be different from mozilla and ie explorer and safari in that one security feature. But what do I know I just listen to the same 12 people talk to themselves and try and feel important. Sort of like watching someone in love with there own voice ask a question just to answer it themselves.

I have never looked at https shaw.ca before now, there is no personal information shared there, there is no reason for it to be secured...

shaw.ca defaults to http, did you type in the https yourself? Or how did you get there?

Hope it isn't down for long! The online team is working on it.

For some reason it added https when I googled Shaw and clicked on one of the links.
it was »shaw.ca

A lot of hype over nothing .

Secure pages are to keep snooping ISP's(via DPI) out of your data streams.
"Privacy before profit" should be the ISP's motto, instead of "how much money can we make selling these suckers supposedly aggregated private surfing data to advertisers?"

I use the extension
»www.eff.org/https-everywhere
which gives me the secure version of the webpages, as long as the site(such as this site) supports it.

If a page has an invalid certificate, I can toggle it off, but you have to question why a page has an invalid certificate in the first place. Is there a bug on the page or is this page not the intended page(hijacked).

The shaw.ca website, has no reason to be secured.

I've noticed with Firefox if I have it set to clear cookies when I close the browser. when I first open shaw mail. »webmail.shaw.ca/ it will first load the https certificate try to go into secure mode but then jump back to a none locked browser. it will do this dance when I first goto the site, the lock pad goes back to a globe and if I refresh the browser window it goes back to a lock. I don't see that on jtl999 because he doesn't show the full url path. you could please check that out. post a picture with a path window please..

If you have the Web browser set to clear cookies, then when you first goto Shaw mail it will refresh the lock pad to a none secure mode and go back to a lock-pad up on a refreshed window. I've tested this on two pcs so I know i am not crazy. Not yet anyway. this has happened with every version of Firefox. and for sometime.
