Hi, I'm on the CloudFlare support team. Which domain was this in regards to? I'd like to look into this further. By "false errors" do you by chance mean SSL mismatch warnings?

Hi, users were getting "Error 102 (net::ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED): The server refused the connection." on https pages. See original ticket #5880 and new ticket #6001.

If that doesn't come up my email is in my profile. Happy to connect you directly with their CTO.

[edit: added new ticket #]

Did this happen yesterday? Did the client happen to be in Tokyo? We had a temporary issue in our Tokyo data center (related to our rollout of SPDY) that would have caused the symptoms you describe. It's fixed now and there's a check in place to confirm that SSL is answering properly before a server starts receiving traffic.

Sorry for the problem! Thanks for reporting it.

Sadly no Tokyo customers. Any similar US issues? They had problems last Fri through this Monday with U.S. customers before shutting Cloudflare off.

Hmm... will look into it more. Thought it was an easy explanation since we had that issue yesterday in Tokyo.
