Joel,

"it doesn't" means that the mailing list archives do not require the use
of https, if the entry point urls point to the https server that bad in
this case...

To be still more specific the mailman archives do not. the ibin archive
does.

Joel

Um, I do not understand that statement; mailman I know, ibin I do not, but
either way, I am an archive user, not an e-mail administrator, and while I can
access some archives with http:, notably from the web page for specific WG,
others I cannot, notably from
http://www.ietf.org/list/nonwg.html
which is the only way I can access some of them, as far as I know: and on that
page, there are some 250 html anchors with a scheme of 'https:'
Edit the scheme to http: and the web site puts the 's' back in so either way,
I am stuffed.

If one has forgotten to renew a certificate before it expires, it takes
time to get a new one issued. as an operational pratice is is necessary
to track the issue and expiration dates  of such resources.

I don't know what "It doesn't" is supposed to mean, but visiting
https://www.ietf.org/* today with firefox it is still reporting that the
certificate expired yesterday.

Given the volume of discussion about the topic starting yesterday when
the problem started one could easily make a case for "it's still broken"
being a significant "issue."

Why does the IETF website consider it necessary to use TLS to access the
mailing

in the
first place?

Besides all the usual hassle of TLS, today the certificate is reported by
IE as
expired, which sort of sums it up.
