assigning this to jd, the redirect is in place so it -should- work but does not appear to be.  (for context, we changed from .com to .org)

Brian,

This is due to a lack of an SSL cert for .com

This means that all non-SSL .com redirects are working along with all SSL and non-SSL requests for .org.

I have initiated a conversation to determine the best solution to this issue.  I will let you know the solution as soon as I know.

Regards

Brian,

We went ahead and set .com up to use an old wild-card cert which is due to expire on May 27.  This solves the immediate issue, but I am told that we will not be re-issuing this cert.  The best path will be to update any links that point to the .com site prior to that time.  If this is completely unrealistic, please let us know.

Regards
