This is a known problem, but not for all browsers, OSs, (for me at least on Mac FF v48

Please check on your device(s) and comment.

Pretty sure it is because they don't have https/TLS enabled.

agamba commented 7 years ago

It seems more an issue with the domain name, as it is not pointing to the right server. The absence of https/TLS enabled will probable report an error, but the behaviour on my end is actually not find the server.

dcwalk commented 7 years ago

Odd, I have no problem visiting either URL across all browsers with out https. With https neither resolve.

Andrew-Clement commented 7 years ago

OK thanks for clarifying. In my FF when I try http://iprp.ischool.utoronto.ca/ it automatically converts to https and then fails. Safari works with http (but not https). (Sad that the iSchool doesn't have SSL enabled, but I suppose these sites are stale legacy sites they hope will disappear soon.

So as an interim measure, until Armin or someone else can port these sites to the ITS server, how about just leaving as http:// ??

colinmccann commented 7 years ago

'Automatically converts' is usually a sign that you have a plugin working - possibly 'https everywhere'. I have this plugin as well.

We cannot leave as http://, as that breaks https security across the site for most browsers. I will look into this tho...

Ok, I was wrong - this doesn't qualify as mixed content. It's on the user (and the linked-to site) to know the consequences of going to an http:// site. We can leave these as http where necessary.

Andrew, who is in control of the iprp site? Is this one of the ones we'll move over to the new server soon? (at that point, enabling ssl is pretty trivial)

The IPRP site, along with ecommoutsourcing, (and PropID and surveillance rights) are mine and as far as I know on iSchool server.

Yes, these are all slated to move to the new site. On 2017-02-20, at 12:39 AM, colinmccann notifications@github.com wrote:

Not to stray too far off track here, but who is admin'ing all of these sites? By ischool server, do you mean the old ixmaps one?

Yes. With the centralization of the iSchool's IT support and services (ie Tony) to ITS, the iSchool servers are orphaned, without support, and destined for de-commissioning, or more likely abrupt shutdown when something crashes and no one steps up to restore. I believe @agamba archived these various sites in case of the latter (Is this right Anto, or is this wishful thinking on my part and you did this for just the IXmaps site?)
