[Demexp-dev] Fwd: Reason of refusal for our GSoC application (demexp)?

[David MENTRE]

Hello,

The response of Google people. Not being reviewed is linked to
"little" details. :-(

Anyway, for the future, it might be interesting to solve the issue.
I'm myself using Firefox 2.0 and never seen such an error message (but
I already have accepted demexp.org certificate).

Best wishes,
d.

Hello David,

I have seen this error messaging using both Firefox 2.0 and Camino 1.0.3.


Frankly, we did not continue our review after seeing this error message.
We were reviewing over 300 applications and did not have time to
investigate the certificate fingerprint.

Hello Leslie,

No. Which browser were you using when having this error message? We
have a self-signed certificate for the web site but that does not mean
the certificate should be not trusted if you check the fingerprint. It
depends on who you want to trust.

But, despite that, I suppose you could see our web page? Which aspect
of the project was an issue?

Sincerely yours,
