I found this weird bug at work the other day.
My work machine is called 'ellis'. I ran a webserver on port 80. I would expect the command 'GET ellis' to retrieve html from 'http://ellis/'.
Instead it retrieves 'http://www.waellis.co.uk/'!!
'ellis.co.uk' actually redirects to 'www.waellis.co.uk', but that doesn't explain where the '.co.uk' bit came from.
'wget ellis' works as expected, as does entering 'ellis' into the address bar of Firefox. |
