[liberationtech] Y! / SSL

[Andrew Lewis]

I am also flipping over to HTTPS, and chrome is reporting that the cert is valid, and upon inspection all looks as it should be. The trust chain goes up to a Versign root cert, so my guess is that is a bad cert you are seeing, and if inside china it might just be a plain old mitm.
