Wed 11 Jul 2012 07:39:37 AM UTC, original submission:

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.
