Hello.  We discovered a weird issue where the challenge create by our letsencrypt tool, which is 87 bytes in sizer, cannot be validated.  We get the following error,

Authorization Result: invalid

The ACME server was probably unable to reach http://jira.alphinat.com/.well-known/acme-challenge/v1lLlQ28n4M24sJiSOivGj0cd7E5bQBnmbclb4n6p44

Now if you try the above URL in a browser, only 76 bytes are shown.  Yet the text file on disk has 87 bytes.

So I did some tests and created a 11 bytes text file on disk.  Tried to load it.  I got 0 bytes.  But if I added one extra bytes, then the first byte of the file shows up.  Anybody has an idea what kind of configuration problem could cause this?
