Hi,

It’s still open and slowly going nowhere. Their latest reply was still on SSL, telling me that HTTPS: Fail clinches it (for Jetpack). But in their advanced debug log it shows HTTP and HTTPS as fail with curl 28 error – a timeout:

SERVER_PORT: 443
HTTPS: on
REMOTE_ADDR: 128.206.136.189
PROTECT_TRUSTED_HEADER: {“trusted_header”:”REMOTE_ADDR”,”segments”:1,”reverse”:false}

TEST RESULTS:

HTTP: FAIL
HTTPS: FAIL
IDENTITY_CRISIS: PASS
SELF: FAIL

RAW TEST RESULTS:

HTTP
cURL error 28: Resolving timed out after 5514 milliseconds

HTTPS
cURL error 28: Resolving timed out after 5513 milliseconds

Followed by these:

[body] => {“error”:”Can not resolve your domain \”A record\””,”error_description”:”We were unable to resolve the A record for your domain. It is likely that you have recently registered your domain name. It takes several hours for new or transferred domain names to start working, so please come check back later. If you’re still having the same error after 48 hours, please contact your web hosting provider.”}
[response] => Array
(
[code] => 400
[message] => Bad Request
)

I just can't believe that this is SSL related if it thinks HTTP is also failing.

Again, all of the above was specific to Jetpack, but surprisingly from Akismet support. I had a ticket open with both of them and they closed the Jetpack one. I have no idea if Akismet has its own debugging or anything, it just tells me that outbound HTTPS isn't working.

That makes no sense, either. It wouldn’t be expensive if you didn’t offload them to your server, which still makes no sense if you’re trying to limit bandwidth.

That’s one way to do it, I guess. So the answer if I wanted to try this on my own is to use a plugin. I mean, I saw these, but I assumed they wouldn’t have a recurring dinner ‘event’ e.g. I wanted to generate a new menu each month excluding most recipes that we used last month — unless they had a high weight (we like that dish and it’s easy to make, etc). We plan out each month so we can plan buy groceries, set out frozen meat the morning of, etc. I mean it’s been working for 5 years, just thought it would be a fun project that would eventually save us time.

I guess I’ll take a peek at how they made these calendars and go from there. Just hard getting out of this mentality that I should make a page and just go to town with PHP inside it to do what I want. Thanks for the reply!
