That doesn't seem consistent with what I see.

This report would be a lot more useful if you indicated additional
detail such as:
 - At what time you tried accessing the site;
 - What browser you were using;
 - What your browser actually downloaded.

If I hit the site with Lynx, I don't get any colour at all, for
instance, but I do get reasonably "informative" HTML back.

I suspect that something may be broken with your network link, and
that THAT would cause the problem, but it is not totally clear.

Have you tried pinging it?  When I do that, I hit site
"svr2.postgresql.org", at IP address 64.117.225.209.  If you are
getting something radically different, that might help explain the
anomaly.
