R help - Nov 2015 - certificate error when downloading from cran.r-project.org

Excuse me if this may be a superfluous question, but I was wondering if
maybe a change in the r-project server configuration broke the certificate.
Or are the certificates in my browser outdated?

Anyway, when downloading R source code from cran I get the following error:

ERROR: certificate common name ?r-project.org? doesn?t match requested host
name ?cran.r-project.org?.

I can of course use the workaround but I would rather make sure I am not
victim of some man-in-the-middle hack.

Any thoughts on this?

Greetings, Pim
