Got two boxes here (Win 7 & XP) with different internet connections with two different providers.
The Win7 box is on a wired broadband connection, and I get the "Your connection is not secure" error with the following info.
download.cdn.mozilla.net uses an invalid security certificate.
The certificate is only valid for the following names
: *.akamaihd.net, *.akamaized-staging.net, *.akamaized.net, *.akamaihd-staging.net, a248.e.akamai.net
When downloading via the link on http://www.seamonkey-project.org/releases/
The XP box downloads just fine via 4G wireless.
I've raised this on the Mozilla support site here but as the offending redirect is on the SeaMonkey site not sure who else to advise.
I would point out that downloading from http://www.seamonkey-project.org/releases/2.46 its perfect on both boxes.
Should I sort out the DNS entries on my win 7 box ?

Re: SeaMonkey Download issue
That link, where you got it from, & even if on a SeaMonkey webpage, is incorrect.

NoScript Security Suite causes "Invalid Certificate" Error Message for SeaMonkey download
Wrong: https://download.cdn.mozilla.net
OK: https://download-installer.cdn.mozilla.net

Re: SeaMonkey Download issue
The "bouncer" links on http://www.seamonkey-project.org/releases/ are https: (like, https://download.mozilla.org/?product=s ... lang=en-US), which is OK.
But they "roll over" to plain http: (non-https:) links (like http://download.cdn.mozilla.net/pub/sea ... 202.46.exe), which is also "OK" (assuming you don't actually want https:, though I'd think the intent & desire is that the download come down over https: - which it isn't doing).
Problem is if you're "forcing" https: (which NoScript has the option to do, or https everywhere, or similar), then the "rolled to" link, which is http: fails (which is expected as there is no valid https: link as specified).
Presumably, at least these days, you would expect the links to be https:, & that being the case, SeaMonkey ends up pointing to http:. If https: is wanted the links SeaMonkey points to need to change.

Re: SeaMonkey Download issue
Sorry for the late reply.(Shift work gets in the way).
Thanks a lot for the detailed replies and the code behind it.
Yes I do have NoScript installed. It's still a bit of a Mystery to me, as both boxes have 2.9.5.3 with the same settings.
To satisfy my curiosity I plugged the W7 box (the one that throws up the error) in to the 4G router and it finds the correct download with no errors. Perhaps one of the ISPs has different way of handling https requests or it hits a redirect that NoScript doesn't like . . . who knows . . . Anyway, thanks for the quick replies.

Re: SeaMonkey Download issue
Fix: NoScript Options > Advanced > HTTPS, add download.cdn.mozilla.net to "Never force secure (HTTPS) connections for the following sites:"rwremote wrote:Yes I do have NoScript installed.
