Alexa briefing api should allow feeds using LetsEncrypt certificates

Nothing more to add.

I have a feed that qualifies "A" on slllabs test but is rejected in the Alexa briefing skill test an with indifferent "Error opening ...". Root cause appears to be the use of LetsEncrypt certificates which have become quite popular.

Also, error messages should give root cause of what the error was to stop developers from guessing.

Thanks, Andreas

Absolutely agreed. Amazon has started sending me emails threatening they'll remove my flash briefing skills from the store unless I switch to an HTTPS URL. It's not appropriate for them to require HTTPS if they don't also support Letsencrypt certificates.
