This is happening a lot lately. Just now it didn't happen, but you know how it looks (see here for a screenshot).

I was worried that this could be a duplicate, but:

a) It's not a duplicate of this, because I don't use IPv6

b) It's not a duplicate of this or this, because I don't use any kind of proxy

c) It's not a duplicate of this, because that's supposedly been solved and was a temporary CDN issue.

d) It could be a duplicate of this, but I'm not using any BitTorrent client or anything, although it could be the router. How do I fix it if that's the case?

I've tried clearing the cache, and switching browsers, and apparently the only thing that works is connecting to Stack Overflow through Tor (gives me a different IP address - BTW this might prove item d is not the case). Are you using any kind of IP address-based caching?

Surprisingly, at this hour it renders fine and quickly. Might be some kind of traffic overload?

I'm on Ubuntu 13.04 (Raring Ringtail) using Firefox 22.0.

    When it doesn't work, what happens when you hit a CDN resource URL directly? e.g. cdn.sstatic.net/js/stub.js

  • I'll wait until the problem comes back, and edit this answer. Right now it's working fine, but I expect it shows up again in the afternoon.

  • Let me know via an @Nick here and we'll see what your issue it. So far it's been proxies users were not aware of blocking https traffic.

  • @NickCraver Now that the problem is at hand ... Trying that url gives me "Problem loading page" in firefox, and in curl: (6) Could not resolve host: cdn.sstatic.net.
