Rosetta Code:Village Pump/CAPTCHA problems

I've recently come across problems with the CAPTCHA. When you use something that needs you to pass the CAPTCHA (e.g. editing anonymously, or after you enter your password wrong when you login), the CAPTCHA displays correctly, but when you enter the response and submit, you get a mostly blank page with just the words "Could not open socket". The case when you enter your password wrong is particularly annoying, as you are stuck in a Catch-22 (you normally don't need to pass a CAPTCHA to login; but once you enter your password wrong, you can't even login by entering your password correctly anymore, as the CAPTCHA won't work). I don't know if this is just me. Thanks. --Spoon! 05:38, 15 March 2009 (UTC)
