Loopt has invalid SSL cert?

3 points by hyperberry 14 years ago | 2 comments

I was reading about Sam Altman & Loopt, and I wanted to learn more. So I typed "loopt.com" into my browser (Safari 4.1.3 OSX 10.4.11).

Looks like that's setup to automatically redirect to "https://www.loopt.com" (note the auto addition of https AND www).

But then I get an alert screen that "Safari can't verify the identity of the website 'www.loopt.com' . . . Need to click on the Continue button to reach the site.

I took a screenshot but did not know how to post it here. This happened earlier this afternoon, and it just happened again a couple minutes ago.

Hopefully somebody here can notify the appropriate parties & get everything back on track.

Can't post the screenshot directly to HN. However, you may be able to contact Loopt on their support page: http://loopt.zendesk.com/forums or via there twitter @loopt

It might be that you need to update Safari to get the latest root certificate authorities. I'm on 5.0.5 on 10.6.8 and don't have the problem.
