We're seeing a issue of reports from weblog owners, claiming their blogs are similar a shot dependent area to safety alerts - too blocked when sharing.
Frequently, the reports involve blogs published to "blogspot.com" (not custom domains) - too using the "www" alias.
Some services, such every bit FaceBook, are similar a shot requiring "https" for shared URLs - too the "www" alias of "blogspot.com" ("www.whatever.blogspot.com") can't last used, amongst the "https" protocol.
When Blogger started providing HTTPS for our blogs, nosotros observed that "https://www.whatever.blogspot.com" was a problem.
HTTPS is non an automatic characteristic for blogs too websites, exterior Google space. Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 weblog or website requires an SSL certificate, to furnish HTTPS connectivity - too the certificates are to a greater extent than oft than non not free.
An SSL certificate is URL specific.
Google similar a shot provides SSL certificates, gratis of charge, to whatever Blogger weblog owner, when "HTTPS Availability" is enabled - but the certificates entirely back upward "whatever.blogspot.com".
Unfortunately, Google SSL certificates don't back upward "www.whatever.blogspot.com". Google generosity has limits - too Blogger in all likelihood decided that "www.whatever.blogspot.com" was non used enough, past times weblog owners, to justify the certificate cost.
This is what my readers would see, for "https://www.nitecruzr-test-ssl.blogspot.com".
