This no longer seems to happen to me.  I'm not sure why.  Possibly some change outside websec, like an update in the perl environment.

Anyway, there is not much point in keeping this report open, unless others also see the problem.  Feel free to close it.  (I can't find any obvious way to do that myself.)

Recently websec has started to send reports about some pages being completely changed, the new contents being completely garbled.  It only happens to some of the pages I track.  It also only happens on some checks.  At one check I get just a page with a few random characters.  The next check might give a load of random characters.  And on the third check the correct page is shown, though the whole contents is marked as changed.  Natural since it was compared to the a garbled page.

One example of a page where this happens rather often is the download page for the VM e-mail client for Emacs.  I have configured it like this in my url.lists.

URL = https://launchpad.net/vm/+download
Name = Emacs VM
Prefix = vm

I attach a sample change report which contains just a few random characters.  I also attach the vm.html and vm.old.html files from websec's archive at the time this mail was sent.
