In the Help -> About dialog, the URL labeled 'BuildID' has been having issues with returning the project git log pages. Call directly to current head are fine: https://git.libreoffice.org/core/+log/ But the URL generated for the Help -> About seems to have issues when followed. Affects Win11 Chrome, MS Edge, and FireFox browsers.
This has seemed temperamental/non-functional for a while now, just got round to opening an issue.
This is an infrastructure issue, and should be posted to redmine: https://redmine.documentfoundation.org/
(In reply to Aron Budea from comment #2) Sure, opened as https://redmine.documentfoundation.org/issues/3836
Thanks!
The BuildID is read from the file versionrc via getBuildIdData() in unotools/source/config/bootstrap.cxx. The link to Gerrit is set in the c'tor at cui/source/dialogs/about.cxx. The fact that the page does not support encryption, which prevents loading is however a topic for infra.

I just noticed this in: Version: 26.2.0.0.alpha1+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: cbee4864f7237c4f052e5de33045eeb36b3fef3c CPU threads: 4; OS: Linux 5.15; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3 Locale: en-US (en_US.UTF-8); UI: en-US Calc: threaded I get this message: "Secure Connection Failed The connection to git.libreoffice.org was interrupted while the page was loading. The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified. Please contact the website owners to inform them of this problem." It seems the reason for this message is that the 'history' part of the uri set by this line in the AboutDialog ctor in cui/source/dialogs/about.cxx gets changed to '+log' when read by the web server: m_pBuildLabel->set_uri("https://git.libreoffice.org/core/history/" + sbuildId); Replacing 'history' with '+' as below makes navigating to the build commit work for me: m_pBuildLabel->set_uri("https://git.libreoffice.org/core/+/" + sbuildId);
