Hi,
you've mentioned that the actual content is hosted on/by SourceForge.
Under what kind of formal or informal arrangement or contract does this
happen? Was any payment involved?
The error message means that the certificate required to serve the site
over HTTPS is not valid for the domain name gnuplot.info (nor
www.gnuplot.info). If you look at the certificate (offered by Firefox
next to the error message), you can see that it was issued by Let's
Encrypt to secureprojects.sourceforge.net, and it is valid for a large
selection of other domain names, presumably all projects hosted by SF.
The certificate is valid between=C2=A0Tue, 29 Jul 2025 02:33:38 GMT and=C2=
=A0Mon,
27 Oct 2025 02:33:37 GMT.
So the person who is responsible for renewing this certificate at SF
either made a mistake by not including gnuplot.info (and in this case a
gentle reminder may fix the issue in October at the very latest,
possibly earlier), or deliberately removed gnuplot.info from the list
of domains, because the afore-hypothesized contract has expired (in
which case the gentle reminder may have to include money).
As to whom that gentle reminder should be sent, I have no idea.
best regards,
Peter Juhasz
