ISP causes winhttp test failures
Hi, I get winhttp test failures on all my machines: http://test.winehq.org/data/780981bc7a2c8e173bea580a2d748fd7cb242468/wine_st... I suspect my ISP is to blame. When try to resolve a nonexistant domain name I don't get an error, instead I get a search page: http://suche.upc.at/upcatassist/dnsassist/main/?domain=www.sreaverwdoc.moc $ ping www.sreaverwdoc.moc PING www.sreaverwdoc.moc (67.63.50.48): 56 data bytes Request timeout for icmp_seq 0 ... Verisign was once ordered not to this. But that was in the US. What should we do about this error? I don't think there's any way I can get a DNS error back from my stupid provider :-/ Stefan

Maybe you could use Google's DNS servers for example: http://code.google.com/speed/public-dns/ Regards, Julius

Does notexist.example.com work? Ciao, Marcus

Looks good. And beyond that, anything that doesn't start with www behaves properly too: $ ping www.srevaewedoc.com PING www.srevaewedoc.com (67.63.50.48) 56(84) bytes of data. $ ping mail.srevaewedoc.com ping: unknown host mail.srevaewedoc.com $ ping blah.srevaewedoc.com ping: unknown host blah.srevaewedoc.com Fwiw, I don't think "use another DNS" is a good fix. I don't care about the winhttp test myself, but if other users have similar issues it will spam test.winehq.org with failures.

Well the "use another DNS" was for you and not a generic workaround for the winetest. That's what I would do if the provider would mess with the DNS.

Have you complained to your ISP? The ones in this area have a webpage that allows you to disable it. -- -Austin

$ ping www.srevaewedoc.moc ping: cannot resolve www.srevaewedoc.moc: Unknown host

Perhaps a nonexistent local name will work. What happens if you remove the dots from that domain name?
