iqtree.org TLS certificate expired (4 May 2025); documentation unreachable over HTTPS #542

Description

@ssiddhantsharma

The certificate for iqtree.org expired on 4 May 2025, so the documentation site is unreachable over HTTPS:

$ curl -I https://www.iqtree.org/doc/
curl: (60) SSL certificate problem: certificate has expired

$ echo | openssl s_client -connect www.iqtree.org:443 -servername www.iqtree.org \
  | openssl x509 -noout -subject -issuer -dates
subject=CN=iqtree.org
issuer=C=AT, O=ZeroSSL, CN=ZeroSSL RSA Domain Secure Site CA
notBefore=Feb  3 00:00:00 2025 GMT
notAfter=May  4 23:59:59 2025 GMT

Plain HTTP still serves the docs (http://www.iqtree.org/doc/ returns 200), but browsers and most tooling will refuse the HTTPS URL, and the README links to http://www.iqtree.org/doc/ from a GitHub page that is itself served over HTTPS.

Practical effect: the command-line reference is not reachable, so options have to be recovered from iqtree2 -h. That is how I confirmed -B, --prefix and -m MFP while writing a wrapper.

Not urgent for the software itself, but it is the documented entry point for new users.
