I can reproduce the "403" error using curl. The error looks caused by htaccess file. It does not affect HTTP requests to your "home" page. But, it does the acme-challenge path for some reason

# Original HTTP request redirects to HTTPS
curl -i http://blog.ingber.com/.well-known/acme-challenge/Test404
HTTP/1.1 302 Found
Server: Apache
Location: https://blog.ingber.com/.well-known/acme-challenge/Test404

# Following that gets 403
curl -i https://blog.ingber.com/.well-known/acme-challenge/Test404
HTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden
