[wellylug] Sourceforge.net sub-domains and server responses

[David Antliff]

Just a quick test please - if anyone is using TelstraClear Cable Internet 
via Paradise.net would you kindly try connecting to sub-domains of 
sourceforge.net with your web browser please?

I am able to access http://www.sourceforge.net
I am able to connect but unable to receive HTTP responses from:

   http://docutils.sourceforge.net
   http://fluxbox.sourceforge.net
   ... and any other XXXXXXXX.sourceforge.net URLs.

DNS resolves ok.

Manually connecting to the server on port 80 proves the server is 
listening and accepting connections. Issuing a GET command shows the 
session waiting indefinitely for the server response.

Accessing these URLs from other ISPs seems to work fine, so the server 
doesn't seem to be the problem.

Two days ago I tried to submit a Paradise.net support ticket but their 
ticketing database continually rejected my submission so I ended up 
writing it in an attached .txt file. Now it seems they interpreted my 
submission as a fault with their ticketing database and not with 
my sourceforge problem. Sigh.

If you have a moment, please let me know if you can or cannot access 
sourceforge.net subdomains, and brief details about your connection 
situation.

Thanks,
David.
