curl and wget error 400 bad request

I use slackware current, and curl and wget give the following errors:

Code:

repo@cannabis ~]$ wget -r http://users.telenet.be/reggersjans

repo@cannabis ~]$

I can surf the sites with no problem.
Some sites work ok, others give the 400 error.
However, when I use puppy in VM, there is no problem with wget or curl

Any thoughts?

Thank you

Wrong dns resolution?

Quote:

host users.telenet.be
users.telenet.be has address 195.130.132.86
users.telenet.be has address 195.130.132.85

host 74.117.221.11
11.221.117.74.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer dn-fh20.directnic.com.

host 195.130.132.86
86.132.130.195.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer webcluster2b.telenet-ops.be

FYI both wget and curl work here (also Slackware current), using my local dns.

Hi,

My local DNS gives the same output

Code:

root@cannabis repo]# host users.telenet.be

users.telenet.be has address 195.130.132.85

users.telenet.be has address 195.130.132.86

root@cannabis repo]#

Any idea why wget goes to 74.17.221.11 ?
I tried to change the DNS, but no go

Thank you

Do you have an entry for users.telenet.be in /etc/hosts?

No
But I added

Code:

195.130.132.85 users.telenet.be

And now it works.

But I don't understand why wget and curl don't use the global dns server, and why it goes to
74.117.221.11
The problem is with several sites.
ALso linuxquestions.org is redirected to 74.117.221.11
Other sites work ok

Kind regards

Hi,

wget and curl follow the order of the hosts line in /etc/nsswitch.conf. The default is "hosts: files dns", so they use first /etc/hosts and then dns trying to resolve a hostname. You can revert the order, so they use dns first and the hosts file afterwards, but it's better to leave it as is.

Anyway, take a look at /etc/resolv.conf and add you local dns first, as it can resolve the hostname in question. Maybe the existing 1st dns server cache is corrupted.

Regards

Thank you bathory
The problem was /etc/resolv.conf
I had

Code:

search beginnerslinux.org

as the first entry
After deleting this, everything works OK

Kind regards
