Description

% keybase prove web https://www.bortzmeyer.org
error: You specified HTTPS for https://www.bortzmeyer.org but only HTTP is available

HTTPS _is_ available. Is it because the CA I use is not liked by Keybase? If so, I suggest a better message.

Research direction

Start by reproducing `keybase prove web https://www.bortzmeyer.org` and inspect the handling of HTTPS proof failures. Compare the reported error with the stated HTTPS availability and CA issue; done means the message distinguishes an unavailable site from an unsupported or untrusted certificate authority.
