Description gdestuynder 2012-01-30 22:07:31 UTC 
Hopefully this is the proper bug-product, as none would exactly match.

https://download.fedora.redhat.com SSL certificate common name is *.fedoraproject.org, which is of course invalid.

This is therefore a security issue, as one would have to trust the wildcard that points to fedoraproject, where all sites are probably not managed by RedHat.
(That's also why all browsers will produce an error/warning when hitting that URL)

Thanks!
