I was going to check the status of mksh (the Android system shell), but the project page returns:

"Unavailable For Legal Reasons - Sorry, no detailled error message available."

http://www.mirbsd.org/mksh.htm

The Android system shell is now abandoned? This is also in rhel9 basesos.

Looks fine here, maybe they're blocking your IP range for some reason?

Fine for me. I just got a HTTP warning and nothing else.

~~I believe Android uses toybox, not mksh.~~ It does use toybox, but toybox doesn't appear to include a shell.

It's blocked for me too, but only on my home Internet (Xfinity), not my phone (Google Fi/T-Mobile).

I see it on my T-Mobile device also. Strange.

Works fine for me on Xfinity Home via WiFi, Xfinity Mobile, T-Mobile, and Visible by Verizon.

Whatever the issue was, it seems to have been resolved sometime after I last checked.

What's your browser? The server is using an old TLS version which is no longer supported, and some clients will try https and fail there and not try http.

I'm using Edge on my corporate desktop.

Edge first tries TLS and comes back with: "SSL handshake error '-1' sslerr='1' sslerrdesc='error:1425F102:SSL routines:ssl_choose_client_version:unsupported protocol' sslerrfunc='607' sslerrreason='258'"

Setting to http:// results the the above error, along with "httpd/3.30A Server at www.mirbsd.org Port 80" - I think that the target itself is blocking me.

Works from an EU IP, so whatever it is, it's probably not GDPR?

This hurt a little.
