Noticed today that Feedly can't read SC's RSS feeds. It claims they are unreachable.

Using W3C's validator, it says:
<!-Quote-!>Quote:

Error when fetching content over HTTPs: "HTTPs server has incorrect certificate configuration"<!-/Quote-!>


https://validator.w3.org/feed/check.cgi?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.simcountry.com%2Fvotenews.xml

Could you please look into this?

The certificate chain is incomplete. An intermediate cert is missing and openssl can't validate the server cert.

I'm guessing most major browsers are shipping the intermediate in their own trust stores or are doing something funky behind the scenes.

I've encountered this when scraping the csv dumps with the python requests library.

disabling cert validation is a work around but that is bad practice and likely not possible if you're using an externally hosted tool.

"openssl s_client -connect simcountry.com:443" shows the issue
