Today I had occasion to call a program which uses
App::cpanminus::reporter. I have run programs with that module hundreds
of times before. The program failed with this output in the debugger.

All the relevant modules are up to date on the machine where the program
was run.

I examined
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/CPAN/Testers/Common/Client/Config.pm. I
zeroed in on the call to the internal method '_validate_transport'. I
entered this URL into my browser:

https://metabase.cpantesters.org/api/v1/

I got the standard Firefox "Warning: Potential Security Risk Ahead"
screen. When I clicked "Learn more...", I got:

#####
Websites prove their identity via certificates. Firefox does not trust
this site because it uses a certificate that is not valid for
metabase.cpantesters.org. The certificate is only valid for
c.sni.fastly.net.

Error code: SSL_ERROR_BAD_CERT_DOMAIN
#####

(Hat-tip to BingOS.)

How can we fix this or how can I work-around it?

Thank you very much.

Hi James,
I can confirm that the certificate is marked as invalid in my firefox,
and also if calling the URL with lwp-request. However, my
Test::Reporter-based report sender still works. It's just working
because Test::Reporter::Transport::Metabase is using HTTP::Tiny, and
HTTP::Tiny does not do certificate validation by default (see the
perl5.31.10 -MData::Dumper -MHTTP::Tiny -e 'warn
Dumper(HTTP::Tiny->new->get("https://metabase.cpantesters.org/api/v1/"))'

With this (albeit with perl-5.30.0 and after installing IO::Socket::SSL
and Net::SSLeay), I got a 404:

#####
$ perl -MData::Dumper -MHTTP::Tiny -e 'warn
Dumper(HTTP::Tiny->new->get("https://metabase.cpantesters.org/api/v1/"))'
$VAR1 = {
'protocol' => 'HTTP/1.1',

};
#####

perl5.31.10 -MData::Dumper -MHTTP::Tiny -e 'warn
Dumper(HTTP::Tiny->new(verify_SSL=>1)->get("https://metabase.cpantesters.org/api/v1/"))'

With this, I got a 599:

#####

I've talked with Fastly support and they're reinstating our wildcard cert. I fixed the Zendesk account attached to the CPAN Testers account and found a thread from last year saying they needed to move the domain to another cert but wouldn't without an OK from someone. I don't know if there were e-mails sent or if those e-mails got blackholed because the SMTP on cpantesters.org had been broken for a while, but it explains everything.

Once Fastly support does the last few steps, this should be resolved.

Thanks!

Looks like we also had to move to a separate cluster Fastly has for OSS projects, so once DNS updates (TTL 1 hour) everything should be fixed.

All the relevant modules are up to date on the machine where the program

this site because it uses a certificate that is not valid for
metabase.cpantesters.org. The certificate is only valid for
