Yes, there's a security certificate issue and 404 errors

[cvrebert]

Could you please copy-paste the error messages so we can report them to the MaxCDN guys?

[carasmo]

404 Not Found
NetDNA/2.0.1

I got an Untrusted Site message but since I've allowed can't copy that. All the page reads is: 404

[cvrebert]

Okay, confirmed. The CDN's SSL cert doesn't match, but even telling the browser to ignore that, it then 404s. Insecure HTTP URLs work fine.
Will escalate to the OSS MaxCDN folks.

@carasmo @mnlfischer I apologize for the error. It is now fixed, working with our operations team to see what happened.

[carasmo]

Are people supposed to use this CDN of respond.js in their Bootstrap installs?

[cvrebert]

@carasmo They are free to do so.

[carasmo]

Nice. I noticed with myself and a StackOverflow question that a lot of folks are copying your examples and rather than hosting the CSS they use the one linked in the head of the example page. This is fine but on IE8, Respond.js requires that the CSS be hosted by a relative path on that particular server as it makes a pristine copy of the CSS and so forth (see their docs), at least on my apache server it does not work unless there's a local, relative path of the CSS and not on a subdomain, so www. probably won't work either, though I don't use www, still others do.

[cvrebert]

@carasmo We mention that stuff in the Respond.js section of our docs: http://getbootstrap.com/getting-started/#respond-js-x-domain
I look forward to the day when we can drop IE8 and Respond.js, and thus not have to worry about these complications.

[carasmo]

Ahh. Been using respond.js for years just never hosted my CSS anywhere but local.

I see it:

Respond.js and cross-domain CSS

Using Respond.js with CSS hosted on a different (sub)domain (for example, on a CDN) requires some additional setup. See the Respond.js docs for details.

That's gotta be biggerized.
