Moz Crawler failing with https redirect?
-
Is there a way to get the Moz Crawl Test to work with HTTPS?
I just got back this error:
902 : Network errors prevented crawler from contacting server for page.
Site is set up with a standard 301 to redirect http to https - or at least I certainly hope it is!
Rex Swain's HTTP Header Checker took shows a standard 301.
Anyone else experiencing this error?
btw - this is both a specific question and an opportunity for open discussion...
Thanks!

Hi there - Kristina from Moz's Help Team here.
Unfortunately at this time our crawler isn't compatible with Server Name Indication (SNI), which appears to be in use on your site. In general, SNI is a totally acceptable security configuration, but our crawler simply isn't equipped to be able to handle these settings.

I found this thread in our Community Q&A forum with lots of other users running into the same problem, so it's definitely something we're aware of and working to address: https://moz.com/community/q/804-https-ssl-error
The good news is that a recent update has been made, and we're ready to accept beta SNI customers to test it out. Please see the article here that explains this further: https://moz.com/community/q/moz-pro-our-web-crawler-and-sites-that-use-sni and if you're interested in being a part of the beta testing, the link to the sign up page is here: http://goo.gl/forms/LCvL9Ix8JDHfbAvr1
I apologize for the inconvenience in the meantime, but hopefully we'll have it fixed soon! Let me know if there's anything else I can do to help!

Hi There,
It seems that your server is blocking the Moz crawler as an activity that it doesn't recognize.
You should contact your hosting provider to get a solution. You can read a similar answer here

I hope this helps, please feel free to ask further questions.

Moz's New Video Ads on YouTube
I've enjoyed Moz's new video ads and want to share them with colleagues, however am unable to find the vids anywhere other than when they're delivered before a video plays on YouTube. Are they available on demand? If anyone is unfamiliar with the videos I speak of, they are new ads for Moz products like Keyword Explorer, Mozbar, and MozCon. Thanks in advance!

Migrate campaign from when site changes from http:// to https://
We moved from our site from http:// to https://, redirecting all traffic to the new https connection. However, in our campaign all scores have dropped (only 1 page crawled). Is there something we can do to migratie the data, or update the existing campaign to reflect this minor change to our existing site?

High Priority - Error Code 804: HTTPS (SSL) Error Encountered
I know that Rogerbot has an issue with SSL / SNI technology used with our Amazon Cloudfront setup even though most browsers support it. Is there a timeframe for this to be fixed? If not is there a specific set of instructions or any way for us to get this from showing up on our High Priority list? Thanks! Sean

Posted by Link on Moz - Broken
I wasn't sure which category to place this in as Support doesnt feature Q&A or the Moz site in general so I dropped it under other research tools to which the Q&A kind of is 🙂 Now I am not sure if it is just me and that you have rectified the issue, but when ever I click on the "posted by" links to the user. I am getting a page not found error. The links in question can be seen in my two grabs and effect all posted by links on the Q&A section of Moz. A simply trailing slash after .com "/" will do the trick 🙂 https://moz.comusers/view/636129 - BROKEN
