When I clicked on the link in the email you sent I was directed to the website but Firefox said your certificate was not valid. Is it? See Attached file.

The Amazon SSL certificate is a wildcard certificate for '*.s3.amazonaws.com'. As we have a bucket 'cyberduck.ch' this leads to a hostname with an additional level -> 'cyberduck.ch.s3.amazonaws.com'. According to the memo RFC2818 this identity does not match the certificate. Section 3.1 says:
... If more than one identity of a given type is present in the certificate (e.g., more than one dNSName name, a match in any one of the set is considered acceptable.) Names may contain the wildcard character * which is considered to match any single domain name component or component fragment. E.g., *.a.com matches foo.a.com but not bar.foo.a.com. f*.com matches foo.com but not bar.com. ...
To prevent the warning page we should choose a different bucket or we don't use SSL for distribution anymore. The link you got is also valid with http:// instead of https://.
