[wdvltalk] 400 bad request error
Hi all, My boss had her web guy set up some form builders for her on her new website. They were originally on her old website and I had no problem accessing them. Now that they have been moved to the new website, I keep getting a 400 - bad request error or Bad Request (Invalid Hostname) error. I flushed my DNS, cleared my cache, tried from IE and FF and am still having no luck. Her web guy is stumped also. Any ideas? TIA, Riva P.S. It is a .cgi script.

So the company site has been moved to a new location and you can't get to it? Can anyone else? Your machine would not be the only place the old address is cached. The dns server with authority for your location (your isp) very likely has the old address cached as well. If others can't get there that would indicate a caching problem at the isp. Try using the IP not the friendly address. That is get the actual IP numbers, the xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx octects and use those.

Re: [wdvltalk] 400 bad request error
Hi Drew, Thanks for the reply. The web guy gave me the address of the server itself that bypasses the "website" but I will try with the IP address. I am assuming that the URL would be the same (for the script) except the IP address instead of the "friendly" address?

The script is most likely located in the cgi-bin for an apache server or some other directory on an iis server. That is, it should be on the same server as the web page in which it is embedded. So yes, using 10.1.111.2/scriptpage.html would be the same as http://www.example.org/scriptpage.html, for example. Normally, the IP is part of the original documentation provided by the isp. If your isp uses host headers, that should be dealt with in the same documentation. drew The WDVL Discussion List from WDVL.COM To Join wdvltalk, Send An Email To: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] or use the web interface http://e-newsletters.internet.com/discussionlists.html/ Send Your Posts To: wdvltalk@lists.wdvl.com To change subscription settings, add a password or view the web interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/read/?forum=wdvltalk http://www.wdvl.com ___ You are currently subscribed to wdvltalk as: archive@jab.org To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe via postal mail, please contact us at: Jupitermedia Corp.

Random stab in the dark - you're trying to access it by IP rather than hostname, so your browser isn't sending the HTTP Host: header with the domain name of your site in, so the server doesn't know which of the many sites sharing that IP the request is for. Make any sense?
