Sounds like a similar problem to this: https://mail.python.org/pipermail/docs/2014-October/020440.html

(There, the OP reported that she saw a different result in different browsers.)

Works fine for me, Terry, in both Chrome and Firefox. Could be something in your browser/caching? Try "private mode" or whatever that's called in your browser of choice.

Just tried the first link:

https://docs.python.org/3/using/cmdline.html

I also get 'Connecting' indefinitely.

So I tested the link here:

http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com/

It said: "It's not just you! http://https looks down from here."

I'm on my phone but docs is served via fastly. Issues could be POP specific.

I think this is a limitation of isup.me: it doesn't like https:// URLs -- either use http:// or no protocol prefix at all.

Well, this:

https://docs.python.org/3/using/cmdline.html

is working for me now, but this:

https://docs.python.org/3/whatsnew/index.html

isn't. It looks like some kind of intermittent glitch somewhere...

I am using Firefox, but the difference is that by happenstance, I was in privacy mode (perhaps for the first time with python.org -- I want the docs in the cache and history list -- because I accessed the docs to answer a StackOverflow question.) It is not just that document but also Execution model and Expression in Reference. (I tried each 3 times minutes apart.) I have not had a similiar problem with any Arstechnica or StackOverflow pages, or similar sites.

So the solution for me is to use normal mode, but something seems not quite right in the interaction between privacy mode Firefox and python.org.

No problem I could find with Internet Explorer's 'In Privacy' mode.

I have/had occasional problems even though I was using normal mode.
