When accessing my InfinityFree HTTP site:
https:\linha.rf.gd
using any browser, everything works fine. However, when I use Selenium WebDriver, I encounter an error:

This issue has been occurring since April, after the “free SSL certificates” started being issued automatically.

The site in question has an index.php file, while other sites with index.html files open without any problems.

Any help would be appreciated!

sounds like you might be running foul of the security system that makes it so that only browsers can access your website.

Ensuring only web browsers can access your website

InfinityFree is a website hosting service. That means that the hosting accounts we provided are intended for hosting websites. Websites contain pages that are accessed through web browsers. InfinityFree is not intended to be used for file sharing, API hosting, database hosting or background tasks/tools. To help enforce this, free hosting enforces a security system that makes sure that anyone trying to access your website is using a normal web browser. This is done by checking whether the web br…

this might be the probelm. it should be https:// not "https:" although, I’m assuming that isn’t just a typo?

Yess, that was just a typo.

thats the rub; the other sites all have a index.html and open fine with selenium / webdriver:
But https://linha.rf.gd/ has a index.php and I think somehow this has to do with this issue.

[dan3008]

Ah fair play. I was secretly hoping that would be the fix for you

[RecUrsos]

Meanwhile found something:

www.links.rf.gd/?i=1 => “Your connection is not private”
links.rf.gd/?i=1 => no problems!
And Google says “domain rf.gd back listed by Google”
But whu only if https\www.etc.rf.gd and nor https:\etc.rf.gd

Did you read?

@Admin

Reminder: “www” Subdomains Are Not Covered

Due to the way wildcard SSL certificates work, subdomains like www.example.ct.ws are not covered by the system-wide SSL certificate. Only direct subdomains (e.g., example.ct.ws) are supported.

If your site uses a www. subdomain, we recommend switching to the non-www version to ensure your visitors stay protected with HTTPS.

Existing custom certificates for www subdomains will continue to work until they expire. After that, they cannot be renewed.

switching to the non-www version

Hum, that explains all.
But " switching to the non-www version" how is that done?
Afterall the user can type either https:\etc or https:\www.etc

[Frank419]

You can redirect the www to non-www. But the ultimate way is, unfortunately, tell everyone to stop using the www version.

Afterall the user can type either https:\etc or https:\www.etc

People also make typos, which might send them to completely different websites.

You can’t control what (incorrect) URLs people type in their browsers. But you can make sure that you yourself use the non-www version consistently.
