Interesting read and I like it. I'll have to read it more on my Desktop. I get a HTTPS error on my android phone however.

You might be missing an intermediate certificate. (Just a heads up.)



As do I on my Android lollipop 5.1.


Thanks, I will look into this. After running ssl test from ssl labs and I some alarming issues https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/analyze.html?d=zarkzork.com I should have done it earlier


Surprisingly, I get this fairly often on my mobile. I'm not quite sure what's changed with the last version (or couple) of Android to trigger this. Over-secure, perhaps?


Android mobile browser requires the full signature chain of authorities who signed the site certificate[0]. It is done to avoid calls to CA servers and reduce network use on mobile devices.

If a person does not concatenate authorities signatures to their site certificate, Firefox and mobile Chrome will alert, desktop Chrome and Safari won't.
