As far as I can tell your issue is unrelated to the CDN.

I don't know how to use Launchpad very well, but you hit a path in the code that, as far as I know, only gets hit when you don't have a long_description.

This bit of code attempts to extract a long_description from a README file. It explicitly checks for certain extensions and TXT (instead of txt) is not one of them. However it returns a singular None when the calling code expects a 2 item tuple to be returned.

I'm guessing that you didn't have a long_description when it wasn't working, and your README file was named README.TXT, and between when it wasn't working and when it was you added a long_description.

Is my guess correct?

The bit of code in question is https://bitbucket.org/pypa/pypi/src/0fd0fd89b791bc2641382f81dcc677ae4742abf7/description_utils.py?at=default#cl-202
