wiki: Data Transfer Interrupted

7bit · 29 Mar 2016, 15:42

Am I the only one who gets a message "Data Transfer Interrupted" while editing the wiki?

When this message comes I need to close the browser and restart, otherise even the DT forum does not work. It happens again, after loading some wiki pages.

This bug is independant from my machines (office and home) and independant from the ISP (Telekomedians and Vodafun).

I have no idea what the root cause is but I have seen some similar issues.

Always compose your posts in a separate editor from the browser to avoid having to re-do work.

I have this trouble only since when I came back.

I have not experienced this, when did you first encounter this 7bit? My last edit was last week I think. Daniel Beardsmore has been massively active on our wiki recently, he should have noticed it but please don't PM him.

It's since about one week, when I came back.

I have the suspicion it happens only if you try to load or edit large wiki pages like R5_leftovers or R6_leftovers .

I see some relation with https when I search for that error. Possibly related to HTTPS hardening I did when you were away. Maybe in combination with old browsers that have problems with a few ciphers: https://bugzil.la/448303
Could be AES-256.

If you use firefox or derivative, go to about:config and type 'security.ssl'. Here you can disable client support for some ciphers, so you can toggle them on/off one by one and find out which one is causing troubles for you.

Here is what our Apache supports:
ECDHE-RSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256:ECDHE-ECDSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256:ECDHE-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384:ECDHE-ECDSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384:DHE-RSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256:DHE-DSS-AES128-GCM-SHA256:kEDH+AESGCM:ECDHE-RSA-AES128-SHA256:ECDHE-ECDSA-AES128-SHA256:ECDHE-RSA-AES128-SHA:ECDHE-ECDSA-AES128-SHA:ECDHE-RSA-AES256-SHA384:ECDHE-ECDSA-AES256-SHA384:ECDHE-RSA-AES256-SHA:ECDHE-ECDSA-AES256-SHA:DHE-RSA-AES128-SHA256:DHE-RSA-AES128-SHA:DHE-DSS-AES128-SHA256:DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA256:DHE-DSS-AES256-SHA:DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA:AES128-GCM-SHA256:AES256-GCM-SHA384:AES128-SHA256:AES256-SHA256:AES128-SHA:AES256-SHA:AES:CAMELLIA:DES-CBC3-SHA:!aNULL:!eNULL:!EXPORT:!DES:!RC4:!MD5:!PSK:!aECDH:!EDH-DSS-DES-CBC3-SHA:!EDH-RSA-DES-CBC3-SHA:!KRB5-DES-CBC3-SHA

Please order more key caps and other useless stuff, so I can buy some new machines to avoid any further trouble with good old Netscape!!!

webwit · 29 Mar 2016, 20:42

If you know which one your browser negotiates, there's a chance it can be fixed by changing the order in our list.

I hope you're joking 7bit.

Anyway I uploaded ten 1MB images on march 23rd no problems.

This is the first Ive heard of Wiki. How is it different than posting on a forum like this?
