Okay, since this is already a second request of this type, I have added the CA certificate to the server response. Strictly speaking, this doesn't make sense, because if users don't have the CA certificate in their trust store, there is absolutely no reason to trust what I'm providing: could very well be a self-signed certificate for that matter. Also, it wastes network traffic upon negotiation.

But if it makes people happy feeling any more secure (which they of course aren't), whatever...

Can we reopen this? The website is not opening in Chrome.

If you cannot keep the SSL certificate valid and monitoring, why bothering putting one, it only makes the experience worse, not to count that this will break indexing and down list the site from Google. I would not be surprised to see it delisted too.
