Web Server Weirdness

If you've tried to access various pages (particularly in the archives) here over the past couple of weeks, you may have been inundated with a bunch of warnings about an expired SSL certificate. I was seeing them, too.
What was strange, though, was why. None of the public portions of this site use HTTPS. So I couldn't work out why requests were being redirected to https://... URLs. Even after a lot of poking around, I still cannot work this out and I'm not a neophyte when it comes to debugging or configuring Apache. Short conclusion: restarting Apache seems to have cured the problem. Fingers crossed.
Updated a couple of hours later: And now it's back to broken again. This is just embarrassing. People are noticing.
