Am I the only one who has troubles establishing a connection to the domain? In Firefox, I'm getting "Secure Connection Failed" and I can't see any certificate information... Using curl locally and also on one DO instance, I get the following:

  $ curl -v https://techblog.netflix.com/2016/08/vizceral-open-source.html
  *   Trying 74.125.133.214...
  * Connected to techblog.netflix.com (74.125.133.214) port 443 (#0)
  * Server aborted the SSL handshake
  * Closing connection 0
  curl: (35) Server aborted the SSL handshake

Site doesn't work on https replace with http

Why did you add https? Just curious.

I did not, seems like Firefox automatically redirects both http://techblog.netflix.com/2016/08/vizceral-open-source.htm... and techblog.netflix.com/2016/08/vizceral-open-source.html to https automatically.... In Chrome it works normally.

Thanks for the pointer :)

https everywhere add-on?

link is to http, not https version

I have the same issue, even though the link actually is http, my browser tries to open the https version, no matter what. It looks like https://netflix.com had hsts with includeSubdomains at one point in time which my browser has still cached.

I have no problem opening https://netflix.com on Mozilla Firefox. But, the problem arises like what people said when opening Netflix techblog using https.

GP didn't say https://netflix.com didn't work. He said it sets HSTS for all subdomains, hence forcing https in places it doesn't work.

Sorry, I misunderstood about it. Now, I know what you mean after re-read that comment.

Are you using the https-everywhere plugin? I remember there being a bug where it redirected to https for subdomains of a domain that is https enabled.

I'm not him (or her), but I've got the same problem w/ FF48.0 - and, no, I don't have that add-on. I ended up just using Chrome for now.
