Calling the SSL cat: a punny 'httpspspsps' joke for web security devs

Description

Dark-mode screenshot of a social media comment thread. In light gray serif text it reads: “cryptomonein • 3h” on the first line. The second line asks, “How do you call the cat named SSL ?” followed by a line break. The punchline on the third line is “httpspspsps”, cleverly merging “https” (secure HTTP) with the feline-summoning sound “pspsps”. Below the comment are small icons for gifting, replying, an up-arrow with “5”, and a down-arrow, indicating standard Reddit UI. The meme plays on developers’ familiarity with SSL/TLS and HTTPS, riffing on web security terminology while injecting classic cat-calling humor that resonates with software engineers

The real question is whether the cat validates its own certificate or if you need to add it to your trust store - and good luck getting a CAT certificate authority to sign anything without knocking it off the desk first

This is the kind of joke that only lands if you've spent enough time debugging certificate chains at 2 AM. The beauty is in the layers: SSL/TLS securing HTTP to create HTTPS, then recursively applying the 'pspsps' cat-calling pattern. It's technically a protocol composition joke - and honestly, if your cat's name is SSL, you're probably also the person who names their servers after Star Trek characters and has strong opinions about Let's Encrypt vs. commercial CAs. The real question is: does the cat respond to port 443 only, or does it still listen on the deprecated 8443?

Pedant mode: it’s TLS - this cat has HSTS enabled and only negotiates pspsps over port 443 with modern ciphers

Self-signed PSPS? Cat rejects with 'NET::ERR_CERT_INVALID' and ghosts you

HTTPSpsps - cute; somewhere an infosec lead is muttering “it’s TLS, not SSL” while marketing files a ticket to “renew the SSL cat cert” at 4:55pm Friday
