Personally I know only basics of html coding and web servers but let's see the facts what we can find out here:
If we open the link http://www.moreshesashkenaz.org/mm/publications/MadrichEnglish.pdf
sometimes works, sometimes404
If we open http://www.moreshesashkenaz.org/mm/publications/
when I opened it first, the files were visible and the links were working, now they all disappeared EDIT: I realized it was working for me because after opening it, I have deleted theMadrichEnglish.pdf
-ending and reloading the page (not by refreshing) makes it work.Pinging www.moreshesashkenaz.org (66.33.211.53) gave a fine result so I don't think it is because the server is overloaded
I have left http://www.moreshesashkenaz.org/mm/publications/ opened when it loaded in a tab. The interesting thing is, that if I open it now, the list is empty, but from the tab where it loaded before, the links are still working fine.
It is getting more interesting as I keep testing because if I copy the URL of the tab where the list is empty and paste it into another tab, the list loads, but if I open it as a new link for example from this link http://www.moreshesashkenaz.org/mm/publications/ it gets empty again.
Also if I copy the link into a word document, and open it from there, the link is working again.
I hope these information will ring a bell for someone and give an appropriate answer, I can only guess that this has something to do with character encoding.
EDIT:
- Tested the link with Internet Explorer, Chrome, Waterfox(*64 bit version of Firefox), on IOS with safari and - got the same results: Copying the link to a new tab makes the links load, opening the page as hyperlink doesn't load properly.
Opening the link with the Stack Exchange app results the page to work properly and load the links as well. I also tried to open it with Facebook app and the links failed to load again.
