I do not know where you are, or, wherever you are, the quality of your Internet connection, but, here in Australia, after the feral government imposed the No Bl***y Network on us, Internet connections have become erratic and intermittent, leading to lots of such errors, which, upon retrying, oft disappear, when the connection is (however briefly) restored. However, I have just tried to visit that particular URL, and, got errors, and, changes/redirections, as I progressively went up levels, to the base URL. It could be either a shonky web site (I am well aware of what the URL belongs to, but, that does not mean that they are capable of, or, willing to, present a decent web site), or, it can be an issue with the "https:", which causes different problems with different browsers, or, both. -- Bret Busby Armadale West Australia ..............
