Looks like someone pushed the wrong SSL cert to production:

  www.bing.com uses an invalid security certificate.
  
  The certificate is only valid for the following names:
    a248.e.akamai.net , *.akamaihd.net , *.akamaihd-staging.net  

  (Error code: ssl_error_bad_cert_domain)

I made a site that checked for SSL cert expirations and misconfigurations, but I couldn't acquire any customers. I still think there's a business there somewhere, although maybe it really only sells as part of another product.

Edit: If anyone wants a script to check their certificates, here you go: https://gist.github.com/bretwalker/5420652. You'll just need to add in some sort of notification logic, especially for expirations, since they need to happen before a problem arises.

TL;DR: bing SSL certificate is wrong. https://bing.com : subject=/CN=*.bing.com https://www.bing.com : subject=/C=US/O=Akamai Technologies, Inc./CN=a248.e.akamai.net

Don't forget the X09v3 alternate subject names.

https://bing.com/

Subject: CN=* .bing.com

X509v3 Subject Alternative Name: DNS:ieonline.microsoft.com, DNS:* .bing.com, DNS:* .windowssearch.com

Wow, that's the first time I've ever seen a 0-word article get the TL;DR treatment.
