A little playing with telnet indicates that newtontalk.net doesn't like
getting a direct request, and only works with a URI request. That is,
telnet www.newtontalk.com 80
GET / HTTP/1.0
returns a "Bad request" error message, whereas
telnet www.newtontalk.com 80
GET http://www.newtontalk.com/ HTTP/1.0
returns the main newtontalk page. So I *think* this is related to
NetHopper sending direct requests rather than URI ones, and the patch to
NetHopper isn't working right. Without the patch, I think NetHopper
would consistantly and reliably get served the main system page
(www.continuity.cx).
(For comparison, my own system returns the main system page, and the
correct virtual page for the two examples cited using a name-based
virtual hosts in the Apache config.)
