So here is an utterly ridiculous trick that may actually prove to be quite useful should you ever need it.<\/p>\n

With recent Chrome updates, hosts which fail to provide a valid SSL certificate are blocked via a NET::ERR_CERT_INVALID<\/strong> error. This essentially is the result of a secure site failing to provide a valid SSL Certificate in some way. In Chrome, when this occurs, you will see a screen similar to the following:<\/p>\n

\"NET::ERR_CERT_INVALID\"<\/p>\n

Previously one could circumvent this by clicking on a link which would allow you to override the error. However, such links in current builds of Chrome are no longer provided.<\/p>\n

Interestingly, the work around for this is simple, bordering the ridiculous. Just focus on the page and type “danger<\/em>“. The page will then automatically refresh and load as if the certificate was valid from that point on.<\/p>\n

Obviously you want to be mindful of this work around (e.g. only using it for known hosts, such as a dev environment, etc., as was the case in my example).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
