I just tried this, but I can't seem to connect. http://cs110.students.cs.ubc.ca:7979/ gives "connection reset", and https://cs110.students.cs.ubc.ca:7979/ gives "secure connection failed".
There's no prompt to accept the certificate (which I wouldn't expect, because we're using a CA signed certificate through Let's Encrypt, not a self-signed certificate). I'm currently experiencing the problem on my own client. I'm not sure if that's related; I also couldn't connect from my phone. -- William J.
