TIL, data.gov.in cannot seem to afford a valid security certificate. Makes me feel all rosy inside for the security of public data in India. Regards, Gora

TIL, data.gov.in cannot seem to afford a valid security certificate. I don't think you saw the redirects this url went through I guess But anyways. Why should this require security certificate anyway. To illustrate I do not see the uk government's data site using ssl http://data.gov.uk

Admittedly, I was being snarky. However, it was not I that set up the site in this broken manner.
But anyways. Why should this require security certificate anyway. To illustrate I do not see the uk government's data site using ssl http://data.gov.uk
(a) Westerners are not absolute arbiters of correct practice (b) In this day, and age, I would argue that HTTPS, and HSTS should be available, and probably the default, for any serious site like data.gov.in (c) Even if one argues that a security certificate is not required, a broken one, however, definitely leaves an impression of how much attention people running the site pay to basic web requirements Regards, Gora
