SSL_ERROR_NO_CYPHER_OVERLAP - but only on a few select Systems - ssl

I encounter the problem when I try to access the website of my software engineering uni course. On my desktop (Win10), phone and tablet (both Android) I receive a "SSL_ERROR_NO_CYPHER_OVERLAP"-Error when trying to access the site.
The error appears regardless of browser, it seems to be system-wide.
Interestingly enough I can access the site on my laptop (Win10 + Manjaro) and could also access it on my desktops Manjaro partition. I could also access it on my phone in the uni-network - but not using mobile data.
However I am not sure, whether mobile data is to blame, as I logged in with my firefox account before receiving the error. Naturally I assumed it may have something to do with my firefox-preferences, but i am using the same account on my Manjaro Systems as well as the Win10 partition of my laptop. Besides me, none of my friends, except one have this problem.
I ran the URL through multiple different SSL-Checkers and every one of them encountered problems regarding the SSL-certificates. As the problem occures in different networks I can also rule out some router-settings of my home-network being the cause. Have you encountered such an error before and is there anything I can do on my own or is this an issue I should take up with my course-instructor and ask him to take a look at his server?

As it turns out the browser plugin "HTTPS Everywhere" was causing the problem.
The error occured in different browsers without the plugin because I copy-pasted the https URL. The issue appeared on my phone because of the shared browser history, which autocompleted the URL to the https version. The plugin is not installed on my Manjaro's Firefox, which is a bit strange as I though it would be shared.
Additionally, on Manjaro, Firefox does not suggest the https version of the site for auto-completion - maybe it favors sites opened on the specific device over sites opened on different devices. Either way, it works now.

Cloudflare - Custom URL Purge not working on different accounts

What is the issue with Cloudflare custom URL purge caching not working on different accounts? Bascially I have the account, and this functionality does work, but my colleague who lives in USA, I live in Europe, for her this does not work.
Can the issues be with account settings? Basically she gets the error or sometimes the cache does not want to work
I've faced issues in the past where features in Cloudflare was not working due to plugins or browser configuration. First you should confirm if the error is indeed coming from Cloudflare or from the browser.
Ask her to try to use a different browser and also a different device to confirm the issue is either tied to the account or to her location.
Try to inspect the page when performing the action to try and find out what's happening behind the scenes.

NW.js app can't connect to specific web domain and that happens only on one single laptop

After thinking about this for 2 weeks, I have to ask this question.
I've created a NW.js app that works smoothly and nice on 7 different laptops and PCs. The app shows html videos and contains a bunch of javascripts, I've got deloped since 2 years. Alls this works fine on every laptop/PC.
Here comes the problem:
On one laptop the app works, too, but the app isn't able neither to show HTML frame contents nor to execute js scripts from a specific web domain. This only occurs with a specific domain (that I'm the owner of).
The strange thing is, that this happens only on one laptop.
The laptop uses the same internet connection as some other devices. I reinstalled the app, deleted all subfolders from the app folder, but the error is back. In the frame I see the silly message, that the website is down or moved.
You likely have a system-wide proxy configured or possibly some AV software installed on that laptop is blocking that site. Attempt to access the same URL through another browser (Chrome, Edge, Firefox, etc.) to confirm.
Could be related to your hosts file.
C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts
That is a plain text file without an extension. You can put URL's or IP addresses in it and it will block any access to them globally on the computer.
Though Sysrage is probably right, it's more likely that you just have some AV/firewall/security software blocking stuff it shouldn't (happens all the time, they can be "over protective" sometimes)
If it is something related to your NW.js install, and it isn't happening on other machines (so you know your app code is correct), then you could try deleting the app data folder for you app. To find it's location on the computer run console.log(nw.App.dataPath). It should be something like:
C:\Users\YOUR USER NAME\AppData\Local\YOUR APP NAME
You can just delete the whole folder (make sure your app isn't running first). Then the next time you open your app it will recreate that folder (it's a chromium thing). Things like saved passwords or dev tool customization or spellcheck dictionary modifications are stored in there. So maybe there's just something funky that needs cleared out.

Inconsistent rendering results with Mobile site in IE10

I'm in the process of developing a Mobile version of some websites using the MVC4 *.mobile.cshtml system.
Everything is working great except when I try and view the sites on my HTC 8x. I get an outrageously large viewport, no javascript executing, offline touch regions and all-around incomplete pageload such that it doesn't function at all. I'm trying to diagnose/debug and not having any luck.
Using IE10 locally with a User Agent string for Windows Phone 8 doesn't show the same behavior. Further, using my exact UA string in any browser locally does not replicate the behavior. I've tried the various viewport workarounds posted on the internet and those have had no impact either.
I'm not on a Windows 8 machine, so I can't install the SDK/Emulator, but I suppose I could upgrade if no other options present themselves.
Anyone have any additional ideas as to how to test/diagnose/replicate this? I've been Googling for days and haven't been able to find any significant resource about this sort of thing.
This was a combination issue with Output Caching and the MVC DisplayModes bug.

Your client does not support opening this list with Windows Explorer

I installed Microsoft SharePoint and Project PWA on Windows Server 2008 R2.
When I want to open Library in Windows Explorer, I randomly get an error:
Your client does not support opening this list with Windows Explorer
When I open IE it's working for 1st and 2nd time, but after some clicks it's not working anymore and I need to restart IE and then it normally works for couple of times.
When it not working through Sharepoint it also not works via \server\DavWWWRoot\PWA and oposite.
I'm searching through the web for weeks and didn't find any solution.
Do you have any idea what should be wrong here. Any suggestion is welcome :)
I had the same exact issue with Windows 7 and explorer view. The following steps resolved the issue for me:
First - be sure that the Web Client service is running (run>services.msc).
Next - In I.E. check Tools>Internet Options>Security>Local Intranet>Sites>Advanced and add the site that you want to use explorer view with.
This finally fixed it for me. I hope that you have already found a solution to this issue! I was surprised at how difficult it was to find a solution to this problem!
This error message is a symptom to a billion different problems.
I solved this problem when I realized my XP32 box could do this just fine with IE8. So I reverted to IE8 in 7x64 (you have to do it by uninstalling updates for IE until you're back at 8) and it didn't work. The build versions were different and on the 7x64 "about" box it said IE8 was using 256-bit cipher while in XP32 it had 128-bit. That to me was a hint that there may be 64-bit issues even when you run the 32-bit executable.
Then I found this hotfix so I reinstalled the windows update for IE10 and then installed this hotfix. Now I'm able to open the TeamCenter site in question in windows Explorer. IE10 reports it's version 10.0.9200.16686. I cannot guarantee that it was the hotfix alone (and not also the reinstallation of IE10) which fixed it. But I'm willing to bet it was the hotfix alone.
In XP I found it impossible to then map this network location to a drive letter, as mapping doesn't like URL's. However in Windows 7 you can transform the URL so that it is interpreted as a Windows share. If the URL of a given folder is of this form:
https://somesharepoint.com/folder1/folder2/folder3
you can also access it as
\\somesharepoint.com#SSL\DavWWWRoot\folder1\folder2\folder3
and, in this form, it can be mapped to a drive letter.
I do have issues at that point that even with IE10 open and logged in to the site I see some random time-out like problems and I get kicked off (and prompted to log in again in IE10). My situation is complicated because the site I'm accessing requires an Exostar token to log in, so I have to log in via website no matter what.
If it helps any one do the steps suggested above:
Make sure to use 32 bit internet explorer (program files (x86)/internet explorer).
Like was mentioned above Web client must be started.
You may also need to add your site to trusted sites in internet explorer.
Make sure enabled protected mode in internet options is disabled.
This is what finally fixed it for me: Check "Keep me signed in" on the login page. This was the key for me. Will not work without it checked in my case.
I had the same symptoms, and it turned out I don't have a root site collection. Creating one solved this for me.
Summarized the troubleshooting steps here:
http://letitknow.wordpress.com/2012/07/22/your-client-does-not-support-opening-this-list-with-windows-explorer-error/
There can be multiple reasons for it.
One could be using IE x64 version. It won't work there.
Secondly, check out this blog:

I experienced the same problem as well.
And I found out that if none of the above options are working, and if you work in an organisation, maybe the proxy is blocking the "Open with Explorer" option.
I did the same, and removed the proxy and it worked just fine.
this fixed it for me ( however in windows server 2008 you may need to install desktop experience i think its called)
After you log into windows go into services then restart the WebClient then see if you can use explorer view without the error " your client does not support. blah blah blah" if it does work then. make a batch file that says:
net stop webclient
net start webclient
then make a scheduled tasks that runs that batch file at start up. Have it run as a user with administrative rights, make sure you tell it to run even if user is not logged in. it should prompt you for the password of the admin account you selected. this worked for me with windows 7.
I found online where the error can occur intermittently with SharePoint 2010, however I think the SharePoint version is irrelevant. They said the client polls for a SharePoint root site and that the error occurs if one isn't found.
We have not seen the error since I created a root site even though we’re only using WSS3. Our errors began when we changed clients to Windows 7. So in our case it sounds like the issue could be the root site polling due to an IE8 security change in Windows 7.
SOLUTION:
*you on x64 bit machine* so solution is that there is no problem but you are using the wrong IE shortcut.
There are different IE types you can use (just type Internet Explorer in start search bar) and you will see..
Internet Explorer (64-bit) - won't show any sharepoint add-ons
Internet Explorer (No Add-ons) - won't show any sharepoint add-ons
Internet Explorer - only this will show sharepoint add-ons and will
work so basically make sure you always use this version of IE

Why won't MicrosoftAjax.js load over SSL in google chrome on some PCs?

I'm using microsoft's CDN for pulling down the Ajax libraries. And I'm using SSL on some pages.
This URL resolves fine in Firefox and IE:
https://ajax.microsoft.com/ajax/4.0/MicrosoftAjax.js
However in google chrome (on my PC, today...) it seems to time out with a very odd response:
On other PCs it seems to work fine, however I know I'm not the only one experiencing the problem as we've had occasional complaints from some of our clients about certain pages timing out and failing, that seems to point to the same problem.
As per my comment, I experienced the same issue but with Firefox failing and Chrome and IE succeeding.
Restarting the browser and the computer had no affect. Clearing the browser cache did fix the issue. I can only assume there was some kind of corruption in the browser cache.
