Hi,
Thank you for all suggestions.
Just to add some details - I'm on Win 7 Professional on 64bit computer, patched and updated. I'm using the latest version of FireFox. I have also updated version of Calibre.

If the problem is with certificate on my local computer then how do I update it?

In the meantime I received very comprehensive reply from Aeon.co web developer, who doesn't see the problem on their end:

" I can tell you that the Aeon SSL certificate is working without issues. You can verify it yourself here:
https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/anal...hideResults=on

There are a few other possibilities:

* You may be using an old operating system, and with a recent update they may have changed the built-in certificates or SSL library.

* Your version of Calibre may be outdated.

* Calibre may have an outdated SSL library included and may try to connect via SSL v3, like some older applications still do. However — in line with today's best practise — we only support TLS for HTTPS connections.

Unfortunately we no longer support connections via normal HTTP.
"

In relation to this reply I confirm:
- my OS is not old (win 7) and it's updated
- Caliber is also in its latest release
- Calibre library (?) - can't comment on that, need someone from Calibre dev team

The strange thing is that this Rss feed via Calibre recipe used to work. I think it actually might have something to do with Calibre updates which I try to apply regularly. But maybe I should use the approach - "if it ain't broke don't fix it".

Does anyone has any idea on what could be the source of this issue?

Thank you !
