It presents an invalid cert, and then gives you a 404 error.

Interestingly http://www.thedailywtf.com (without HTTPS) and http{,s}://thedailywtf.com all works.

Fucking google. Chrome chops off the www, even when you type it. That's why it worked.

See also this position in MegaThread WTF Bites where it was discussed briefly before not being Jeffed.

I'm not sure what to do about https://www.thedailywtf.com/ -- people still use "www"?

Anyways, I was wondering if we should go HTTPS only, anyways?

I forgot how to set that up in IIS. Anyone know how to do that?

I also set up email notifications. we'll see if they work now...

Not very useful for content like this. I doubt even the North Koreans would object to their citizens viewing TDWTF and I suppose hardly anyone submits personal data there, so pissing off the spooks would be the major reason to do it. But then again it makes the site quite a bit slower for people with laggy internet connections due to the extra handshake.

There are bodies with stricter ethic codes than North Korea. Such as corporate IT departments in work hours.

@Gąska But they don't usually shoot you for noncompliance.
