And that's arguably the biggest problem of all. The goal is to reduce
certificate validation failures for users who have seen a particular
intermediate cert before, but the effect is that web developers get
false positives when testing whether their sites are set up properly or
not. This just makes things worse in the long run.
true - *but* anybody responsible for a https site should at leat once
per month run
https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/ against it
as far as i can say the best tool available, not only for check the
certificate chain, also browser support, optimal cipher configuration
and last but not least recent security issues reported
