Hi Webcom

We have been using http://vmap0.tiles.osgeo.org/wms/vmap0 on one of our 
pages for years. The Federal government is now requiring us to move 
everything to https.

Unfortunately, when I try to load 
https://vmap0.tiles.osgeo.org/wms/vmap0, both Chrome and Firefox 
complain. Here's the Chrome error message:


  Your connection is not private

Attackers might be trying to steal your information 
from*vmap0.tiles.osgeo.org*(for example, passwords, messages, or credit 
cards).

NET::ERR_CERT_COMMON_NAME_INVALID


I'm sure I'm not the only one that will have this problem as the web 
moves to https.

Thanks
