Hello WebGestalt team,

I am currently getting an SSL certificate error when trying to access WebGestalt at:

https://www.webgestalt.org

In my browser, the site is shown as “Not secure”, and when I try to run my analysis from R, I get the following error:

Caused by error in `curl::curl_fetch_memory()`:
! SSL connect error [www.webgestalt.org]:
schannel: next InitializeSecurityContext failed: SEC_E_CERT_EXPIRED (0x80090328) - The received certificate has expired.
Calls: <Anonymous> ... withRestartList -> withOneRestart -> docall -> do.call -> fun

This happens on Windows, where R/curl appears to be using schannel, and the connection is rejected because the received SSL certificate has expired.

Could you please check whether the HTTPS certificate for www.webgestalt.org needs to be renewed or updated?

For context, I am trying to run WebGestaltR from R, and the analysis currently cannot proceed because the HTTPS connection fails.

Thank you very much!
Best regards,

ilian atanassov

Hello,

Thanks for letting us know.  I just manually renewed the cert.  (for some reason, the automatic renewal did not work this time).


Best,

Zhiao Shi
