Comment:

 We never had a certificate for cactuscode.org. All an attempt was leading
 to was a test page. I tried to redirect the https site to simple http, but
 that doesn't work, since ssl is handled first in a connection and since
 there is no certificate in the first place, this already fails before any
 redirection could take place. I can also not simply have apache not serve
 that port, since the ET website comes in there too. The only way to
 gracefully solve this (besides using two physical servers for the two web
 sites) is to get a certificate. And once you have one you might as well
 serve it.
 We also redirect www.cactuscode.org to cactuscode.org. This redirection
 would also not work when using ssl, so either we get a certificate for
 both (one just for the redirection), or we live with it.
