Transient HTTP/HTTPS Issue

Thursday, February 8th, 2018

If you hit this page yesterday and ran into an Ubuntu Apache setup page, you ran into a transient cache issue because you came in on:

http://www.battleswarmblog.com

rather than

https://www.battleswarmblog.com.

I got the issue resolved with BlueHost, so now any hits coming in on http://www.battleswarmblog.com should automatically forward to https://www.battleswarmblog.com, as they were doing before this weird glitch showed up.

But this is also a good reason to make sure your bookmarks and links point to https://www.battleswarmblog.com going forward.

battleswarmblog.com: Now With Added https

Wednesday, December 20th, 2017

I finally got off my lazy butt and got an SSL certificate for this blog.

So the official address is now https://www.battleswarmblog.com (note the new all important “s” after “http”).

FYI, my SSL certificate was free through WordPress and the Bluehost folks made the change for me.

Update your bookmarks and blogrolls accordingly, since Google and Firefox are starting to get all pissy about http connections (not that I really blame them).
