General Discussion • Re: Enforced https on public sites

I wish I could voluntarily downgrade public sites to HTTP. There have been many times where a site, which I knew would not require transmitting anything sensitive, would display an expired certificate. I do not wish to add permanent exceptions to these sites in Pale Moon and do not know how to make temporary ones, so I turn away.

It's already there, don't have Permanently store this exception checkbox ticked.

Last I checked, Chromium had the option to ignore the certificate errors (cmd-line parameter), don't know if there's equivalent in Pale Moon.

I faintly remember experimenting with Proxomitron in the past, I think you could have the browser get the content in HTTP while proxy would do the talking in HTTPS. No idea if it has global ignore certificate errors.

I recently wrote a cheat sheet for me how to generate certificates with OpenSSL. I might start selling certificates when I get tired of current job.
