NWS's transition to https only access

(1/4) > >>

tmabell:
With the ssl security issue at hand and the recent un-announced changes from http to https on many NWS web pages, I wonder if anyone has heard anything about when the WPC (Weather Prediction Center) and SPC (Storm Prediction Center) might be doing the government mandated change to https?  As I read the mandate, all government sites should have done that already.  Why those two are immune is a mystery to me.  If they intend on doing it I wish they would just get it done so we can change what we need to change and move on.

We should add the CPC to the list of NOAA branches that seem to have a pass.   ](*,)

CPC is not https:// compliant. I emptied the cache of both Chrome and Firefox (the latest version of each) on my machine to check. One refused to connect with https://, the other just timed out.

tmabell:
That is exactly the point I was going for.

And.. some of the sites use a Symantec-based cert which will be untrusted by Chrome and Firefox in the near future.  I'm hoping the existing sites will replace any to-be-untrusted certs before the time runs out.
