bug#23948: Expired Certificate on gnu.org

[Cheryl Wheeler]

Hi,

I was using the HTTPS Everywhere extension in Firefox when I encountered 
the issue. However, I disabled it and tried again before I reported the 
problem, because it has been known to occasionally cause issues on 
sites. :-)

Just now I tried it in IE 11, no problem there. IE does not insist on 
using HTTPS for lists.gnu.org. Maybe a Firefox issue?

I will report the certificate issue to the webmaster.
