I don't remember the names, but there were client programs designed to dial up, download pre-specified content, and disconnect, to minimize phone charges. My favorite client program (not an automated one) at the time was QModem (from John Friel of The Forbin Project, who recently passed away I believe). Not automated, just really well-designed.

>>"outdated certificate data" would be domains you no longer control.

Or certificates which were revoked

I know this thread is over, but it's important to understand that it's the browsers who have all the power in CABF and they were the drivers behind this change. Apple proposed it and Google voted yes within minutes of the voting period opening. It was unanimous among CAs too (with 5 abstentions), and nobody really disagrees with it, but it was the browsers who started the initiative now. The article links to the vote thread: https://groups.google.com/a/groups.cabforum.org/g/servercert... And here's the CABF discussion before the vote: https://github.com/cabforum/servercert/pull/553/commits/69ce...

Certificate pinning is suicide in an environment where certificates expire in max 47 days. You'll have to rebuild and push your app at least that often and probably sync your devops with your certificate management.

I was a happy customer of The Forbin Project. QModem was a great product. It's probably hard for younger people to appreciate how important terminal software once was.
