[solved] steam shop and community stopped working within steam browser

Since some days I noticed that all steam browser related parts stopped working, thus I can't use the store or the community hub. It's working perfectly from chromium and firefox. It's also unrelated to the hardware and drivers, I even disabled IPv6 and tried the different runtime options. I did a tcpdump for the http traffic and I see the GET request from my client:

    GET / HTTP/1.1\r\n
    Host: store.steampowered.com\r\n
    Connection: keep-alive\r\n
    Accept: text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,image/webp,*/*;q=0.8\r\n
    Accept-Language: en_US,en-US;q=0.8,en;q=0.6\r\n
    Upgrade-Insecure-Requests: 1\r\n
    User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; U; X11; en-US; Valve Steam Client/default/1496897923; ) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/58.0.3029.81 Safari/537.36\r\n
    Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate\r\n

And the response from the server:

Hypertext Transfer Protocol
    HTTP/1.1 200 OK\r\n
    Server: Apache\r\n
    Expires: Mon, 26 Jul 1997 05:00:00 GMT\r\n
    Cache-Control: no-cache\r\n

    Content-Encoding: gzip\r\n
    Vary: Accept-Encoding\r\n
    Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8\r\n
    Content-Length: 43320\r\n
    Accept-Ranges: bytes\r\n

    Connection: keep-alive\r\n
    Set-Cookie: sessionid=50467ec71fd30f769c7de2fe; path=/\r\n

And then just some SYN/ACK TCP traffic but no more HTTP traffic seen. Does anyone have the same issue? It did work some days ago so might be either something with the steam websites, the steam updates or archlinux updates.

I don't know why, but it's working again
