Howdy!
I have been using the Certes .NET client to request certificates for some time now with a high level of success. The past few days I have been testing some aspects of our code again and I can see that sometimes when I create a new Order the status is immediately Ready. The Authorization allocated to it will already be Valid also. The Challenge I then create goes from Pending to Valid after validation as expected. Point being it is working okay (hence why I'm not providing much information regarding server etc).
I just want to know what scenario results in a NEW Order's status starting as Ready? Doing a few tests I think it seems to happen when I create a new Order for a host name I have recently done. I'm not willing to say that with full confidence though. I've looked through the ACME Protocol and I can't see anything that stands out.
Many thanks,
Aaron
