Re: old https security debian org does not redirect to new page, invalid ssl cert instead

Correction to my previous post - https://security. was not that wide
spread, only few indexers seen few pages there (one missconfiguration
page, and legal page, and index page).

So this might be a rare issue for anyone stepping on that url.


Still, just for clarity, it might be good to either make redirect work
or close the port if possible.

Thanks
