As of April 30th 2017 Contentful's Delivery API will no longer be supporting TLS versions 1.0 and 1.1. TLS 1.2 will be required for using the Delivery API with HTTPS.
Q: Why is this being done?
As with earlier versions of TLS/SSL, security vulnerabilities have rendered these protocol versions unsafe. Our CDN Partner, Fastly, is deprecating support for TLS versions lower than 1.2, following the instructions of the PCI DSS Council. For further information, please refer to

Q: How does this affect me?
We have already identified and contacted most of our customers using TLS 1.0 and 1.1, and worked with them on migrating. Most modern HTTP client libraries will have no issues using TLS 1.2. If you have not been contacted by us, you should not be affected, but if you are unsure of the effect on your app or site, please contact Contentful Support.
