Is anyone else occasionally getting a 'connection down' error from Chrome (or 'Secure Connection Failed' from Firefox) when changing page - if I hit refresh it works fine. At first I wondered if it was the site I was using but have noticed it on multiple different major websites over the past couple of months and not noticed it from other locations where I don't use Three Broadband so does seem to be related to the router/connection (this is via wired Ethernet too, so not a WiFi problem). I've tried changing DNS server in case that helps but no difference.
It mainly seems to happen when trying to first load a site or (annoyingly) at checkout when a different site is being loaded as part of the checkout process. It certainly doesn't happen everytime but does happen with reasonable frequency. I've also noticed I often get it when trying to pull/push from/to Github too and have to do so a number of times for it to work (browsing the Github website works fine).
If anyone wants to check this issue, they can run this script I've done to check if a website is affected.
Bash and curl are required.
Run it as follows:
$ ./script.sh https://www.topcashback.co.uk
#!/bin/bash
check_ssl_error() {
response=$(curl -s -o /dev/null -w "%{errormsg}" "$1")
if [ -z "$response" ]; then
echo "Success";
else
echo "Error - $response";
fi
}
echo "---"
echo "Testing: $1";
echo "---"
fail=0
for i in $(seq -f "%02g" 01 20); do
result=$(check_ssl_error "$1")
if [ "$result" != "Success" ]; then
((fail++))
fi
echo "Attempt $i: $result"
sleep 0.5
done
echo "---"
echo "SSL Errors: $fail/20";
echo "---"
I've just enabled dev mode and enabled linux for windows, installed ubuntu but I seem to be getting the following error when running "./script.sh https://www.topcashback.co.uk".... any ideas?
I'm not familiar with linux much however
./script.sh https://www.topcashback.co.uk
./script.sh: line 2: $'\r': command not found
./script.sh: line 3: syntax error near unexpected token `$'{\r''
'/script.sh: line 3: `check_ssl_error() {
