Description

I am https://keybase.io/ennorehling and my web-based proof for https://wiki.eressea.de/ has started failing. The keybase.txt file is in place, and has not changed. I can fetch the file, and get no certificate warnings:

$ wget https://wiki.eressea.de/keybase.txt

and yet, every time I tell keybase to retry my proof, it sends me an email saying that it broke. Would it be too hard to include some more info to help troubleshoot this?
