    Certificate Validation:

    When an OCSP server connection fails,treat the certificate as invalid box is checked in browser.

    Using Startpage by ixquick search engine

    Secure connection failed
    The response from the OCSP server was corrupted or improperly formed.
    (Error code: sec_error_ocsp_malformed_response)

    When I uncheck OCSP server connection fails... box I'm able to connect to the search engine.
    Other search engines can connect when OCSP server box is checked in browser.

    Why is Startpage search engine failing to connect when OCSP box is checked.

    Hello Compu KTed,

    Is this Pale Moon you're referring to? Is it v27.0.3? I'm using PM (albeit v26.5 still), and use Startpage quite a lot, incl for homepage, without issue.

    I'm just guessing it may be a PM-related issue, and they might advise you over at their forum, in that case.

    Hi Dermot7,

    Yes this is Pale Moon, however I also tested SeaMonkey browser (latest version) and have the
    same issue when OCSP server connection is checked. Something has changed since it worked
    before with same browser version of Pale Moon as your using.
