Thanks for the information, I looked over publicsuffix.org. I am still not following the connection between an alternative subject name being "too broad", and an http client failing to execute an HTTP GET request. What is the advantage? Why should an http client library be unable to execute an HTTP GET to a location that any web browser can?
