Hundreds of broken sites, or how code.jquery.com forgot to renew the SSL certificate

Last night I witnessed a rather interesting situation.

At about 11:50 pm Moscow time, the pages using the JQuery library stopped running on the pages of my service.

After a brief investigation of the problem, I managed to find out that this incident is directly related to the expired SSL certificate of the code.jquery.com domain, which I use to connect jquery on my site.

More specifically, the browser throws an exception when trying to download data (in particular files) from a domain whose SSL certificate is invalid.

In my projects, I use the external link to connect the latest version of the jQuery library: ̶i̶s̶p̶ol̶̶̶z̶o̶v̶a̶l:

code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.min.js

The problem was solved for about half an hour, at the moment the certificate has been extended exactly one year in advance.
The picture clearly shows that the certificate is valid from July 31, 2014 to July 31, 2015, although some time ago the numbers were completely different.

I believe that this funny incident will be a lesson for all those who use any external libraries on their pages. Avoiding such errors will allow you to sleep a bit more easily.
