Comment 1 Ariel T. Glenn 2014-02-14 09:44:20 UTC
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Selberg_sieve  succeeds for me from a host in the US (logged out) and fails from a host in Europe (both logged out and logged in) with the 503 error message.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Selberg_sieve succeeds from a host in Europe, both logged out and logged in.
Comment 2 Tomasz W. Kozlowski 2014-02-14 09:49:40 UTC
I can reproduce the problem on HTTP, but cannot reproduce on HTTPS (as in: the page works). Connecting from a host in Europe, through the same server (amssq57).
Comment 3 socket0 2014-02-14 10:35:03 UTC
I can also reproduce the problem from Europe (also server amssq57). HTTP gets an error, HTTPS works.

Comment 4 christian 2014-02-14 11:07:27 UTC
Although they failed for me (using European host) when the bug was filed,
both of

  http://wikimania2014.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Main_Page
  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Selberg_sieve

are now working again for me (using the same European host).
Comment 5 Tomasz W. Kozlowski 2014-02-14 11:10:14 UTC
Mark restarted Varnish backend on amssq57, and things work again.

Thanks, Mark!
