[19:20:01] CoJaBo/libera So wow, this may well be the single sleaziest thing I have ever seen a hosting provider do: An HSTS ransom.

[19:21:51] CoJaBo/libera The host charges (a LOT) extra to allow HTTPS. In 2022 lol. They gave the client an unannounced free trial of that feature. And set this header: Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=63072000; includeSubDomains; preload

[19:25:08] CoJaBo/libera If I'm reading it right, they want a $2,100 ransom to get the site turned back on

[19:26:34] CoJaBo/libera They don't let you use a 3rd-party cert, and they seem to even block Clownflare

[19:29:48] CoJaBo/libera We're trying to terminate SSL for them (like Clownflare does), and also scrape all their product listings so they'll have an easier time switching when they block us too lol

[19:30:42] CoJaBo/libera le?
