Description

I just received a message from Keybase "your web proof just broke" (I have no idea why) and I find the message very unhelpful to help me troubleshoot the problem. I think that messages like this should indicate at least (1.) the exact URL that Keybase is trying to access, and (2.) the specific problem encountered (e.g., HTTP status code). Thanks!

Research direction

The issue names no source file, test, or entry point. Reproduce a failed web proof and trace where the “your web proof just broke” message is generated; done means the message identifies the URL being checked and the specific failure, such as an HTTP status code.
