unable to access site
Testing with the 2000-05-08-08-M16 nightly binary on WinNT and the 2000-05-08-11-M16 nightly binary on Linux, the Tucows site never appears; the throbber spins for a fraction of a second, packets go back and forth, but nothing displays and the titlebar shows no title. Guessing that this is a client sniffer problem... NN 4.72 and IE5 both display this fine, but the HTTP header viewer at http://www.delorie.com/web/headers.cgi?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.tucows.com shows ******** <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <!-- saved from url=(0037)http://www.mightydesign.com/dos-cows/ --> <HTML><HEAD><TITLE>TUCOWS NETWORK</TITLE> <META content="text/html; charset=windows-1252" http-equiv=Content-Type> <META content="MSHTML 5.00.2614.3500" name=GENERATOR></HEAD> <BODY aLink=#6666ff bgColor=#ffffff topMargin=5 link=#000066 vLink=#000066 marginheight="5"><!----------OPEN MASTER TABLE--------------> <CENTER> <FORM action=http://www.tucows.com/perl/tucowsSearch method=post> <TABLE align=center border=0 cellPadding=0 cellSpacing=0 width=749> <!-------------OPEN TUCOWS NETWORK TABLE------------> <TR> <TD width=613 valign="top"> <TABLE border=0 cellPadding=0 cellSpacing=0 width=613> ******** which is so wrong it's not funny (check http://www.delorie.com/web/headers.cgi?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.mozilla.org for a comparison). Best guess is that the sniffer has no "default" set of HTTP headers and the server just spits out the page without sending any headers first. The Netcraft server survey can't tell what the webserver for Tucows is: http://www.netcraft.com/whats/?host=www.tucows.com

Ever confirmed: true
Win98SE build 50808 - Same behaviour, cannot access www.tucows.com, enter URL and nothing happens.
Actually, it looks like this site is returning absolutely no headers. (I can see that it returns the same content to either mozilla or Nav4.x using libwww-perl tools, but there are no server headers returned -- it moves straight into HTML content).
