| From: Jamon Camisso via talk <talk@gtalug.org> | Well this is a new low: | | https://askubuntu.com/questions/1185612/apt-get-stuck-on-waiting-for-headers/1185713 | | Mind-boggling that it is/was even an issue at an ISP & HTTP level. | | Either they have a giant whitelist of browser agents to maintain, or a | blacklist to update and added apt to it. | | In either case, they're looking at HTTP traffic and acting on it directly. | | Still an issue for anyone?
Is this happening to you? I will assume so. - my main internet connection is directly through Rogers. - I use Ubuntu infrequently. - when I do update it, I have had no issue. Most recently: a couple of days ago. The ip address in the wireshark log is 91.189.91.23 (AKA economy.canonical.com). When I point (Fedora) firefox at it, it claims that it cannot connect to a web server there. Of course that's with Firefox's User Agent String. ping does get responses. Could it be that you are somehow trying to use a mirror that has been decommissioned? I think that this problem is likely unintended and would be fixed if 1) the problem would be with your ISP 2) it were reported and 3) teksavvy could reproduce it. --- Post to this mailing list talk@gtalug.org Unsubscribe from this mailing list https://gtalug.org/mailman/listinfo/talk
