"The OCSP server returned unexpected/invalid HTTP data"

In april I posted about this, but the issue still exists. About one in 10 times visits to archlinux.org I get this error in Firefox. The strange thing is that it only happens when I visit archlinux.org not any other site. Could it be some kind of misconfiguration on this site?

I don't have a problem with FF 7.0.1. OCSP enabled by default, but not choosen a specific server from drop down menu. May be your FF configuration causes this problem?

hm.. could be something like pipelining. Still odd that it only occurs at archlinux.org . If it was a misconfiguration on my side I would expect this error with more sites.

As far as I know it's a problem with CACert's OCSP server. They've had a few issues these past days, I keep on getting 403 Unauthorized errors when requesting OCSP. But it's strange only 1 in 10 visits gives you an error, since FF only checks OCSP once per session.

1 in 10 was just an estimate. It could be that it coincides with the first visit after starting the browser. I sometimes keep the browser open for days, sometimes only minutes so I wasn't sure.
