Recently Mercurial has added certificate validation when connecting to HTTPS servers. I\'m trying to clone the wiki repository for a googlecode project at https://wiki
Since nobody commented on this I wanted to try and clear up some of the confusion regarding subdomains:
the certificate is for *.googlecode.com. I was under the impression that this is called a wildcard domain and valid for all subdomains
You are partially correct. A wildcard certificate is valid for all direct subdomains but not for subdomains of subdomains.
So *.googlecode.com
is valid for pydlnadms.googlecode.com
but not for wiki.pydlnadms.googlecode.com
.
For that you'd need a certificate for *.pydlnadms.googlecode.com
or a non-wildcard certificate for wiki.pydlnadms.googlecode.com
