June 4, 2015 at 6:59 am #441408KarstenParticipantI also get this messge several times a day (many posts). As you can see, it’s not answered in the FAQs. The problem is that – why ever – SNAP uses https instead of http. And the certificate of the hoster is a self signed one.

How do I tell SNAP not to use https?

On windows:
Windows -> System32 -> drivers -> etc -> hosts
add your local ip, followed by the hostname:
192.168.***.*** example.com
This will allow the plugin to resolve the host locally, instead of trying to contact the DNS server and getting confused since the destination is hosted locally.
