Something else worthy of comment. The errors in my task history are zero. Hasn't been that low since pre-Python days

Sounds like worthwhile work though, I do it from time to time. Anyone wanting to try it, limit multicore tasks to 6 cores each or they go wrong. And do the VB tasks, they're far more efficient, you'll get more credits and do more good.

They are having troubles with the webpage:

Secure Connection Failed

An error occurred during a connection to www.cosmologyathome.org. SSL received a record that exceeded the maximum permissible length.

Error code: SSL_ERROR_RX_RECORD_TOO_LONG

Workunits waiting for validation 0

Not just that, an extra 1.5m tasks added to total queued jobs.
My RAC for Rosetta was just short of 8k before the validation issues, dropped to just over 5k the day before yesterday and now is at 19.6k
Part of the reason for that is my credits per 8hr task seem to have nearly doubled for the current work. That's a hefty bonus

Odd, they WERE having trouble, but not that trouble. The account home page was missing, we had to use saved links. But now it all works fine. Where are you trying to get to?

I have seen errors like that and others ,
I can now [it may not last] get around cosmology@home website and my account without problems ,
witch is an improvement over the last few months ,
using MS IE11 .

http://www.cosmologyathome.org/ works

But then how do you get to the account page, that wants to go to https
I'll try making an account tomorrow through BOINC.
Someone needs to tell them their SSL is messed up

Nothing I do takes me to https, so everything is ok here. I tried the homepage and the account page by right clicking the project in Boinctasks. I also tried to go to my account after going to the homepage. Nothing used https and everything was ok. AFAIK there is no https anywhere, where are you getting it from?

That I don't know. HTTPS mode is not enabled in firefox.

This is enabled: Certificates
Query OCSP responder servers to confirm the current validity of certificates

In brave after I click on sign up it goes to here: https://www.cosmologyathome.org//create_account_form.php?next_url=

And that generates: This site can’t provide a secure connectionwww.cosmologyathome.org sent an invalid
response.
ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR

But if I try to delete the s then it automatically inserts s

I tried from Bing default setttings and it goes to https to join even if you erase the s
In settings: Use secure DNS to specify how to lookup the network address for websites

By default, Microsoft Edge uses your current service provider. Alternate DNS providers may cause some sites to not be reachable.

Same thing in chrome. I switched the secure dns to google and that doesn't work.
So I don't know whats going on.

It's just the join and sign in that go to https
I'll try from BOINC

Can't connect via BOINC as new user or existing user. Get an error message.

I think you can disable Upgrade connections to HTTPS at brave://settings/shields

I think you can disable Upgrade connections to HTTPS at brave://settings/shields

That is already in off position (left side and grey)

But this is really odd. The link is http but yet if you try to go to it its converted to https without you doing anything. All my browsers do that.

hmm...there is something funky in their website.
I just manually copied and pasted the join link into a tab in chrome and I got that to load ok.

But I just tried the same thing with https://www.cosmologyathome.org//create_account_form.php?next_url= (and also removed the s but it was converted back to the s)
And I get a ssl protocol error

These are set to off:

Always use secure connections
Upgrade navigations to HTTPS and warn you before loading sites that don't support it
Use secure DNS
Determines how to connect to websites over a secure connection

(Again this is chrome)


Brave:

I copy this from the home page into another tab:
http://www.cosmologyathome.org/create_account_form.php

But it automatically converted to https even if i go back and delete the s and hit enter it goes right back to s

Do you have https everywhere extension installred?

Do you have https everywhere extension installred?

No, never knew about that.
Also just tried to add via BOINC, it does not say no such user or whatever, it just says add project failed.

The log says:

How is this possible? Their page is all green status.

There is something goofy going on over there.
http to https without asking for it, can get any servers....
Serious gremlins.

There's nothing odd or funky about that -- the remote system is redirecting the http port to the https port.

It didn't redirect for me.

Ouch, I'm glad I use Opera, it goes where I ask it to. Changing the address is going to make you get a file not found obviously.
