Bad SSL configuration on this server. Looks like it's missing an intermediate certificate.

Instructions for the site owner are here: http://www.alphassl.com/support/install-root-certificate.htm...

I'm not adding an exception to view it, and non-SSL redirects to SSL.

Oops, didn't pick up on this - it works fine on my machine (without adding exception). I've removed the non-ssl redirect while I get it sorted. Thanks for the heads up :)

Intermediate certificates are easy to mess up, and they don't always show up for everyone as a problem.

Just thought I'd help out!

Test with `curl' is where I noticed it broken -- seems to work in Chrome, possibly because they cache intermediate certificates or something?

~% curl 'https://statuscoder.com/ curl: (60) SSL certificate problem, verify that the CA cert is OK. Details: error:14090086:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_SERVER_CERTIFICATE:certificate verify failed
