Sorry, not sure what's wrong. I tested in the latest firefox, safari, opera, and chrome and it works for me.

Edit: blogger doesn't do SSL on custom domains. Sorry =/

the http:// link you posted works fine, but if you attempt to access the link via https ( https://techblog.netflix.com/2016/05/application-data-cachin... ), I get a "Secure Connection Failed" in Firefox.

That said, I'm not being redirected and I don't know why gp is.

OK, I can reproduce. I'll forward, something seems wrong (obviously). Thanks for reporting this.

edit: No SSL on blogger custom domains. Sorry =/

What was the problem? I ask not to make it on my servers. Thanks.

I get the same result in Firefox and in Chrome it says This site can't be reached with a specific ERR_CONNECTION_CLOSED error. I've been wondering why this item kept getting voted up but I couldn't even access it. I'm on Time Warner Cable in southern Kentucky by the way, could this be a network issue?

Edit: I should note that I cannot access this via HTTP either as I'm getting redirected to HTTPS.

Edit 2: Correction: If I force http:// in Chrome I can access the blog entry. I tried even using Private mode in Firefox and while I specify http:// the URL gets modified to https:// and I get the insecure connection message. Above I used the word redirect but I can see no evidence of an actual redirect in the developer interface. But it's not clear to me if the Firefox development interface Network tab would indicate a redirect response.

Works for me, but is it possible there was an incorrect HSTS configuration at some point? Possibly even the parent domain with includeSubdomains.
