Site redirect/certificate issue

Our site, openhumanitiespress.org appears to be set to redirect to www.openhumanitiespress.org but the www. version is not listed in the cert so it throws a browser security warning. The site is static html with relative internal links. We tried redirecting away from www. through mod_rewrite but it seems like it gets stuck and times out when we use mod_rewrite.

We’d like the readers to browse the site under https without getting warnings.
Does anybody have any thoughts on how we might acheive our goal?

With apologies for the delay, we’ve added the www subdomain to the certificate. Does it work for you now?

Works now, thanks very much for doing this.

And, our sincere thanks for keeping ibiblio going, it is doubtless one of the most venerable projects on the internet!

Out of curiosity, is the vhost entry redirecting to www?

I’ve tried Firefox, Chrome, and curl, and none of them redirect from openhumanitiespress.org to www.openhumanitiespress.org. Are you seeing a redirect? If so, what client and OS are you using?

Apologies for the slow reply, we asked a few folks to try their systems so we could get a broader range of OS/Browser pairs. It does seem to be browser related.

Redirects to www
Firefox/Win11
Firefox/OSX
Firefox/Ubuntu 22.04
Firefox/Android
Firefox/IOS
Safari/IOS
Safari/OSX

Does not redirect to www
Chrome/Win11
Chrome/OSX
Chrome/Android
Edge/Win11
Edge/OSX
Edge/Android

Interesting to know, but not much to do you haven’t already done for us.

Thanks again for going the extra mile on this.
