I'd like to know what downforeveryoneorjustme.com does because it's so lightning fast. Pinging the server? Works for me. Looking for port 80? It's open. Connecting to it and getting a web page? That's where things start to get interesting: > $ telnet docs.python.org 80 > Trying 2001:888:2000:d::a2... > Trying 82.94.164.162... > Connected to docs.python.org. > Escape character is '^]'. > GET / HTTP/1.0 > > > > Connection closed by foreign host. .... after a really long time. The server wouldn't serve me. Opera reports a network error right away though, not waiting for a timeout. And the best part: Chrome and Firefox just get me the website. Wireshark reveals that both latter browsers get a "304 Not Modified" response and then do a lot of weird stuff involving DNS as well as HTTP to finally deliver a web page. Opera does no such thing but only sends a request to 2001:888:2000:d::a2. Yeah, right, that's an IPv6 address.. I really don't understand the details of what's going on here but chances are that you also use Opera, kjon and those who replied to you didn't? I reported docs.python.org as a broken page to the Opera devs but I'm also Ccing this mail to the server admin because this seems to be a more complex problem than just a broken (if at all) web browser. Best regards, Christian

It's been working fine for me, using Opera on Window and Ubuntu, for the last week or so. -- Rhodri James *-* Wildebeeste Herder to the Masses

IPv6 has sometimes been problematical -- try disabling it. Also, I think you need to pass the host HTTP header to access docs.python.org -- Aahz (aahz(a)pythoncraft.com) <*> http://www.pythoncraft.com/ f u cn rd ths, u cn gt a gd jb n nx prgrmmng. |
