Hi Guys,
Does anyone knows what happened to Afvdatabase50megs.com ?
I cannot open it anymore.

The odds of me clicking that link are less than zero.
Apparently, it is still out there but has a new address.
http ://afvdb.50 megs. com /index.html (remove spaces)
Sorry Gino,
Link doesn’t work for me.

For info, Gino’s linked worked fine for me.
It is still unsecured at the server end.
Link works for me, using Microsoft Edge.

Are you sending any sensitive data to it that you don’t want falling into the wrong hands? Not that I can see how you would be, because it’s a simple, straight-up HTML site that’s ancient enough to have many tags in uppercase (not wrong as such, just unusual nowadays) and uses a lot of ways of doing things that have been deprecated for 20+ years, including in the HTML 4.01 specification that the page claims to follow, but clearly doesn’t.

Nonetheless, it is not as secure as my protocols like, and warnings proliferate each time I try to access it.
Very strange, the site is accessible from my desktop but not from my Ipad.
Not since the last update from my Ipad this week.

They’re warnings, not prohibited signs. When you see a warning, whether online or elsewhere, your reaction should be to look out for what it’s warning you about, consider whether you are in danger or not, and then decide if you want to proceed.
Ancient web sites that don’t ask for any data, don’t require you to log in, don’t sell you anything, etc. are almost certainly safe to use even if your browser doesn’t like them using HTTP instead of HTTPS.
