Hi all. Looks like some malware on an external site we're linking to:
https://www.cpdl.org/wiki/index.php/Ven ... aditional)
Brian Riedlinger's edition
I've removed the link. Would someone mind reaching out to see if we can get a better one? Or we could host the files.

Re: Malware on link on CPDL
Apparently Brian Riedlinger's website has changed domain name from brianriedlinger.com to brian-riedlinger.com. However, the server hosting the new domain is using an invalid SSL certificate when working in https. I don't think that this is related to malware, most likely it's just an expired SSL certificate that was not renewed. However, it seems that the problem also impairs the proper operations of the CAPTCHA on the website, so it is difficult to download anything from it.
I tried to contact Brian Riedlinger using the email address originally avaliable, and transposed to the new domain. No delivery error has been reported yet, but there was no reply from him either. The last update on the website is dated 2017, so I wonder if Brian Riedlinger is still active.

I've introduced an hyphen in each link accordingly ![Wink ;-)](./images/smilies/icon_wink.gif)

Thanks, Claude.
Meanwhile I received a failed delivery notification for the email I sent, so this seems to confirm that Brian Riedlinger is probably no longer active.

Re: Malware on link on CPDL
Indeed, captcha cannot be answered, thus should we comment-out all thirteen editions?

Are we able to obtain information via the Internet Archive?

Yes, Internet Archive reproduces pages as they were, but the captcha test doesn't work anymore, so files aren't reached.
Re: Malware on link on CPDL
Would either of these be workable?
1. See if he's on Facebook and have someone with a Facebook account contact Brian?
2. Ask his domain registrar if they have alternative contact info to which they can forward a note (explaining the ways in which the contact methods and CAPTCHA are not working)?
