Excuse me if this may be a superfluous question, but I was wondering if maybe a change in the r-project server configuration broke the certificate. Or are the certificates in my browser outdated?
Anyway, when downloading R source code from cran I get the following error: ERROR: certificate common name “r-project.org” doesn’t match requested host name “cran.r-project.org”. I can of course use the workaround but I would rather make sure I am not victim of some man-in-the-middle hack. Any thoughts on this?
