It drives me mad...
OK, the updated spkg has properly imported history. Please check!

I have seen this before. My suspicion was that it was a problem with the
ISPs in Singapore. I had a particularly bad experience with Singtel
broadband.

indeed that was on a Singtel network!
What do they do - the latency too big?

If its ISP-specific then presumably thats because they force all http through a not-so-transparent proxy.

The proper solution IMHO would be to enable SSL on all development-related web pages. That should just be common sense for data integrity and password safety reasons.

I'll do this as soon as I get time, paying for the SSL certs (a few
bucks a year) using Sage Foundation donations (it seems like a good
use of that money!). What's a list of domains that we should really
switch to using SSL for?

Since we don't need and extended validation certificate we should just get a wildcard *.sagemath.org cert.

No, it has nothing to do with latency.

My experience was that I could never log in into the trac on my Singtel
network. I still get problems occasionally on Starhub. On Starhub, I
fill up a comment and then I get a page that I am not logged in, which
is complete bogus.

My suspicion is that they actively filter all web traffic, possibly with
the intention of injecting ads. And they mess up big time.

In my case I was connecting to trac using my Singtel mobile as a wifi hub. 
Good look to them injecting ads into such connections :-)
