Why can't I log into Digg?

Seems to be working on the internet APN for me too also.

So it didnt have anything to do with the APN?

Obviously had something to do with cached content [transparent proxy] used by the internet APN.

The internet apn get's all the fancy engines to improve performance, security, world hunger, etc.

But these engines expect external servers to behave in an expected manner, including formatting protocols correctly. If they see anomalies, they get very edgy (suspecting malicious behaviour) and will dump the session. This is out and out to protect the user.

In this case, logging into digg triggered the panic attack.

We've now bypassed digg and alerted their webmasters.

Do the webmasters/sites generally actually respond and fix their sites?

Very seldom.....

They test on a LAN and obviously it works as nothing is doing packet inspection, so the typical response is "It works on my site, so the problem can't be here..."

So VC ends up policing the whole bloody internet.....

v3g, do you mean at an IP level only or IP and html, i.e. which of these usually causes more problems for the sniffer engines?
