archive.org (or www.archive.org) seems to perform an immediate redirection to "https://:/".

Opera 12.02 also does a redirect to "https://www.archive.org/"but the page comes back as "302 Found / nginx/1.4.6 (Ubuntu)"

Was working just last week in FF2, but not now with or without javascript.

Wayback machine still works. http://web.archive.org/ forwards to http://archive.org/web/ and works. Search of Internet Archive works with results page summaries, but links redirect to https and "The connection was reset" in FF2.

Works fine for me on Win ME with Opera 12.02, Firefox 8, K-Meleon 1.6 and D+. OffByOne fails to open it however, letting me know it can't open https://:/.

No problems here with Firefox 9.0.1 on 98SE (with KernelEx 4.5.2).

Maybe root certificates need to be updated, I know the CloudMe application - which also uses secure connection - fails to connect unless certificates are updated.

archive.org is working today for both netscape 9 and ff 2. I swear it wasn't working yesterday (as described in my first post). However, I believe I've found a website that is exhibiting the same problem:

http://webserve.com/

In netscape and FF I get: Your browser is not accepting header redirects. Please click here (http://www.webserve.com/)

It would seem that has nothing to do with ssl, but if you google that message you get stuff like this:

Problem with SSL redirects:

Looking at what wget does with webserve.com, I can't see any indication that a redirection is intended.

I got the same message as above in Firefox 9.

Then I enabled HTTPS Everywhere - no dice.

 

I got a principle: if it won't work, I don't need it.

http://archive.org and http://archive.org/details/AllAmeri1936 still not working here (w/ or w/o JS). Twitter is the same.

I see Wait... Connecting... Wait... Connecting... (OB1) or Connecting... Connected... Connecting... (FF2) in the status bar for all these sites but never https://:/.

OffByOne still gives a Ubuntu server "HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently" message.

In OB1 http://details.archive.org/AllAmeri1936 gives what appears to be the home page, but also containing a page not found message.

In FF2 it's just an empty "Page not found: We’re sorry, the page you have requested is not available" under a sparse menu bar.

http://details.archive.org/movies is interesting.

In summary, not working in FF2 for me!

redirects to https archive.org/details/AllAmeri1936 and the looks fine with FF2.

> details.archive.org/AllAmeri1936

redirects to http archive.org/AllAmeri1936 but page is blank except for "Page not found We’re sorry, the page you have requested is not available." which is what you are getting.

twitter.com redirects to https twitter.com and works for FF2.

> details.archive.org/movies is interesting.

that one redirects to https archive.org/details/movies but at this point with FF2 all I'm getting is "page reset by peer" errors with any of these various archive.org URL's. I try clearing FF2/network/cache, I try changing my IP, I try changing the user-agent. Still get peer reset error. I close FF2 and restart it, and all archive.org URL's are working again, including https archive.org/details/movies.

Try clearing the cache (tools-options-network).
