hi hans, hi list
i have just added ssl-support tothe puredata.org site, and while testing it with different virtual hosts, i noticed, that "pure-data.info" is down.
btw: would it be possible to enable https-forwarding too ?
from now on, the login is automatically re-directed to an encrypted connection. i hope this is ok for everybody

pure-data.info is coming back, a hardware problem forced an IP change, so once the DNS caches expire, it'll work everywhere. http://www.pure-data.info is already back.
For HTTPS connections, you should configure the web server to automatically redirect to the URL from the certificate (puredata.org). Browsers will throw an error if the URL doesn't match the certificate. You can make test domains (something like pd1.iem.at, pd2.iem.at, etc.) that don't redirect for your internal testing purposes, but the published ones (*.puredata.info, *.pure-data.info, *.puredata.org) should all redirect to https://puredata.org
I can help out with this if you want.

i don't know whether you have noticed it, but it seems like it is working. the certificate is valid for both puredata.org and puredata.info without any errors on mozilla-based browsers. ie gave me some errors, but because of the self-certified nature of the cert and *not* because of the name
it took me some time yesterday to make multiple names work

i really want multiple domeains because it enables me to log in multiple times as different users: this seems to be much about debugging but i got used to it (i think we have talked about this at the pd~con)

thanks a lot. the only problem i can think of now is how to get a certificate from s "real" authority. but it is early in the morning

There are numerous ways you can do mulitple logins without affecting normal users of the website. For example, you can achieve the same thing by running different browsers, and then it doesn't impact the website users at all. With IE, Mozilla, Firefox, Galeon, Konquerer, Opera, Safari, Camino, etc. you should have plenty of simultaneous logins.
Another option would be to make two separate <VirtualHost> entries in httpd.conf. One for the normal domain names (puredata.org, pure-data.info, etc) which canonizes the name to puredata.org, and the other for the extra test domains which does not canonize the domain name. Then you can make as many test domains as you want, pd1.iem.at, pd2.iem.at, etc. etc. and the normal users of the website will be unaffected.

i mean, sorry, what is the whole point of it ?
the only thing that would change is to have one canonical name "puredata.org" instead of several ones (we are talking about 2 or 3 not 10 or 20) why is this so important to you ? what makes live easier (except for me!) if we have only 1 name ?
personally i think .info domains are clumsy and thus i prefer .org but: puredata.org is owned my someone whom i do not know at all! just because he is kind and gives it to us for free does not mean this will stay so. what if the domain-registration (by some unlucky events) ends again ? (true, most people use puredata.org now (just a wild guess) and they will have the same problems then)
please clarify the need to have one and only one domain-name
