OK, I'll try something. I'll post this plan, then use curl to try to read from that web site. I'll edit this post adding a numbered result with each step. I will be using my VPN which exits through a UK hosting provider's data centre. I will be using 1.1.1.1 for my DNS resolution...
1:
Before using curl, I did a ping. That worked, resolved address was 23.43.27.23.
2:
Curl gave me the error processing message. Will try to post that next.
3:
I failed to post the curl transcript by editing this post. I got a 403 error and "Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /editpost.php on this server." So let's try just to update my post with this paragraph.
4:
That was OK (cut-down item 3 was allowed). So now I will try to post just the command I used for curl:
5:
And the curl command was:
Code:
curl -k https://www.linuxtoday.com/
6:
OK, I was able to post that. Now for the complete transcript but with the error response reference number redacted...
7:
Redacting the reference number didn't help. Edit not allowed. So this is just to see if I can edit my post at all any more
8:
Clearly I can still post ordinary text. It's something in the contents of the transcript that's getting my update refused. Maybe it's the http tags - I'll try to post the http body contents only
9:
Code:
An error occurred while processing your request.<p>
Reference #97.b48f655f.1561295516.12809fce

So maybe all this post has done is to prove that I can't post text that looks like real http tags into this forum. The "You don't have permission to access /editpost.php on this server." is somewhat unhelpful though.
Anyway, the upshot is that I consistently get the message that there was an error processing my request for www.linuxtoday.com. If I use curl with a -v flag I can see a valid-looking certificate come back immediately, and then after about a 10 second pause is the HTTP error message. I think the certificate is being issued by a reverse proxy, and the reverse proxy is unable to get any response from the web service behind it.
@coffeecat: Are you resolving to the same IP address that I am?
Code:
~$ host www.linuxtoday.com
www.linuxtoday.com is an alias for www.quinstreet.com.edgekey.net.
www.quinstreet.com.edgekey.net is an alias for e8980.b.akamaiedge.net.
e8980.b.akamaiedge.net has address 23.43.27.23
