The first thing you should check is if you can contact this site with
another browser, e.g. lynx, Netscape, etc. The first thing htdig must
do is to retrieve the robots.txt file from the server. So if you cannot
connect to the server using other means, htdig will not be able to either
and you will have to look at networking issues.

That said, it should not just "hang" since there is a timeout set in the
connection code and the 3.1.5 version should be good about killing
connections if they timeout. How long is "a long while?"
