    Hello

    How can i preview a website if it is using HSTS as the browser will not allow me to accept the invalid server certificate?

    I am getting this when i am editing my hosts file:
    Thank you

    Tried using Chrome/Opera web browsers too ? HSTS is telling browsers to use HTTPS connections for domain.com and any *.domain.com subdomain as well depending on configuration of including subdomains or not

    see Enabling HSTS for SSL for specifics
    But you can just clear your web browser's HSTS record for the domain.com and host.domain.com so the web browser no longer redirects from HTTP to HTTPS if you want to temporarily disable HSTS while previewing a domain under HSTS. I posted a thread at SSL - How to clear HSTS browser cache | Centmin Mod Community specifically for this :)

    It doesn't work on a new browser that i was never use to open that domain....

    So maybe i must disable hsts for a while....
