Problems accessing some websites

[Allen Lowe]

When I would like to go to www.pkgsrc.se; www.netbsd.org or www.freebsd.org websites,
I get this message : "Cannot connect to destination"

However, if I set up tor + privoxy and I would like to access on www.pkgsrc.se and others, midori can access to these websites.

The same if I take the IP addresses about pkgsrc.se and others websites - midori can get an access.

Machine:
NetBSD 5.0.2
webkit-gtk 0.1.2
midori 0.2.4
libsoup24-2.28.2

Chets, what makes you assume that this is an issue of midori? It sounds like a problem with your domain name resolving.... Might be a good idea if you try the same with GtkLauncher and probably another browser, if you have, and report whether it worked or not.

I have the same problem with some websites. I to get the message "Cannot connect to destination" followed by a button which says something like "try again". Clicking this button most of the time resolves the issue. Another issue is that some larger pages (like planet.fedoraproject.org) with lots of links to other domains don't show most of the images. I agree with argafal that it does "feel" like a resolving issue. I do however not have the issue with firefox installed on the same computer.

I run midori 0.2.4, using GTK+ 2.18.7 and WebKitGTK+ 1.1.15 on an Acer Aspire One A110 with archlinux. The problem first occured to me about a month ago. Googling around I did indeed update my DNS-servers but it did not resolve the problem.

Oh, and I can't reproduce the error on specific sites, but I just noticed it says "Cannot resolve hostname" in the message, just before the "try again" button. I am not sure whether this is the same issue as the original posters.

I'm using Google's DNS (for IP address : 8.8.8.8) but if I set DNS of my ISP, same thing.
If I type : telnet www.google.fr 80; it runs. In fact, any programs run correctly (about dns) except midori, which can't found SOME domain names. I noticed that's runs properly with firefox.
From GtkLauncher, I get this same message.

Apparently, this problem is known under NetBSD but is not yet resolved.

Extremely old report. Sites seem to load fine. Marking incomplete until someone else can confirm.
