TIL: Chrome Certificate errors can be useful
- One minute read - 89 wordsToday i learned, quite by accident, that the Chrome certificate error page can
be quite useful! If you get an NET::ERR_CERT_something-or-the-other error
message, you can click that NET::ERR_CERT... code. Your cursor won’t change,
indicating that the text is clickable, but it will display the problematic
certificate or cert chain in PEM format.
You can then copy the certificate. On your terminal, invoke the spell
pbpaste | openssl x509 -noout -text
(replacing pbpaste with whatever command on Linux or Windows to paste the
contents of the clipboard if so needed)
