When loading TeX.SX over TLS (e.g. Force equal hinting when combining symbols) with HTTPS Everywhere, images are not displayed.

Firefox shows this error (e.g. for https://i.sstatic.net/k1rDN.png):

An error occurred during a connection to i.stack.imgur.com. Peer reports it experienced an internal error. (Error code: ssl_error_internal_error_alert)

  • Can you please hit this URL and paste the result? Your specific IP isn't necessary, you can remove that piece. i.stack.imgur.com/cdn-cgi/trace

  • Is this what is causing all SE hosted avatars to fail to load in chat?

  • @NickCraver All of i.stack.imgur.com is returning: "i.stack.imgur.com uses an invalid security certificate. The certificate is only valid for ssl330558.cloudflaressl.com (Error code: ssl_error_bad_cert_domain)"

    Certificate presented doesn't belong to i.stack.imgur.com (issued only to ssl330558.cloudflaressl.com, no alternate names) and both image URLs and that trace thing result in 403.

  • @Oded my school appears to disallow imgur.com simply because of the lack of TSL (or similar). Is this fixable by you? / is it an unrelated problem?

  • @Tim - if they block imgur.com (note that we are on a subdomain i.stack.imgur.com), that is not something we can help with :(

  • Hmm when I'm back there in a week I'll speak to them. I seem to remember a TLS error (???) but not sure. This seems like an unrelated problem tho i guess.

  • @NickCraver I get a certificate error with that: i.imgur.com/wjWAiec.png. Looks like an issue with Cloudflare again. Man, SE's had so many problems with them lately..

    Thanks for the reports everyone - we're prodding CloudFlare who's in front of i.stack.imgur.com and has incorrect certificates in some colos. It's not directly our account, but hosted in behalf of imgur for us so resolving takes a bit more time. We'll get them to correct the cert issue ASAP.

This was a certificate fail on the CloudFlare side on the Imgur account hosted on our behalf. We're still awaiting info on what exactly happened, but since it's not directly our account we may not get this information.

The fix should be rolling out shortly around the world - we prodded both sides to have new certs issues ASAP and we are now seeing valid certificates in most locations (our New York sysamins aren't seeing it yet).
