I love how there is a Catalan version too! I guess it’s probably a requirement for getting the .cat domain.

HTTP 000: HTTP not found. HTTPS CA TLS only.<p>That said, at least they have a broad cipher set support and their HTTPS-only implemetation does work in older browsers and systems. That&#x27;s nice. But HTTP+HTTPS would be better.
