No, I mean have you connected to your webserver using an appropriate
text-based client such as netcat or good ol' telnet and asked it for the
same thing? Something like this:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ telnet www.graemef.net 80
Trying 82.113.142.73...
Connected to www.graemef.net (82.113.142.73).

Note: this does not return Sun's site!


Yes, you are quite right (although I had to leave off the "HTTP/1.1"
to get it to work) but this raises further questions:

- Why are some requests generating 404 etc responses and these ones
generating 200 reponses?

- What is the point of sending someone to the sun site? - is it a DoS
attack on my site?

- Does someone actually see my home page come up?

Thanks again!

Phil.
