request pdf, get SSL_ERROR_RX_RECORD_TOO_LONG

Question

I asked the Library of Congress (U.S.) for a pdf : <https://cdn.loc.gov/master/pnp/habshaer/ny/ny1200/ny1255/data/ny1255data.pdf>, got: "SSL received a record that exceeded the maximum permissible length. Error code: SSL_ERROR_RX_RECORD_TOO_LONG" Found solutions for linux, not windows 7. Firefox 46.0.1. Thanks.

Answer 1

The error means that the server certificate was not correctly installed for the port that you were accessing when downloading the file.  I've tested the file and the issue seems to have been corrected by the web masters at LoC.
