Originally created by @cassieesposito on GitHub (Mar 17, 2023).

Steps to reproduce

  1. Set up ABS server to run throuh nginx reverse proxy
  2. Set up nginx to use https using letsencrypt certificate via the certbot interface
  3. Block port 80 on your firewall, causing automatic renewals to fail
  4. Wait 3 months for your certificate to expire
  5. Try to log in to ABS using android client

Expected behaviour

  • An error message that says the server is using an expired certificate.
  • An option to inspect the certificate
  • An option to, after inspecting the certificate, accept it anyway (I'm not sold on this)

Actual behaviour

  • An error message that says the server is not returning pings

Aditional Notes

  • Web interface behaved as expected, allowing login after displaying the requisite dire warnings about accepting invalid certificates.

Obviously this is not a true disaster. I got my certificate updated and everything is peechy-keen. But an accurate error message would have saved me about 30 minutes of troubleshooting.

The error messaging was updated in v0.9.67-beta. I didn't test this specific case but let me know if it still needs work
