third-parties notary servers combination blocking traffic #99

Open django-rdf-tools opened 13 years ago

django-rdf-tools commented 13 years ago

I just added a bunch of servers from the list. some of them had bad certs, i reported to their maintainers Then I started to see FF stalling on https site. I disabled all notary servers except thoughtcrime one's and it works if I re-enable the one from https.to or the the one from anonymo.us.org, no page is displayed

all tests made on : https://secure.whispersys.com/get/egypt# but it happens everywhere

Each time, an entry in the cache is created, but I don't know which notary server created it

I also tried to use the notaries one by one, disabling thoughcrime ones - and each one individually works, including https.to and anonymo.us.org ...

this is on FF 6.0, OS X 10.7.1

Cache entries are created if enough of the notaries agree to validate it (depending on your 1, majority, consensus setting). The issue with blank pages could be an issue with the way we generate the convergence cert with notary data in it. This we'll have to look into, might still be tripping with too many notaries.

With the last version of the plugin i get the same problem, when i revert to the old plugin, it connects fine to the notaries.. my guess is that the notaries need to get updates?
