[users@httpd] 400 Bad Request Problem
I am experiencing some troubles from my apache 1.3.29 setup when I try to
add new virtualhosts. I've got several virtualhosts defined and working fine
already, but the last few I've tried to setup all exhibit the following odd
behaviour:
I setup the virtualhost and try to test it manually using telnet to its IP
address:
# telnet 192.168.0.1 80
Trying 192.168.0.1...
Connected to 192.168.0.1
GET / HTTP/1.1
HOST: www.example.com
This returns a 200 status code and the expected web page.
However if I try to test it manually by telneting to the domain name:
# telnet www.example.com 80
Trying 192.168.0.1...
Connected to 192-168-0-1.example.com
GET / HTTP/1.1
HOST: www.example.com
This returns a 400 status code: Bad Request (Invalid Hostname)
As you can see, both attempts connect to the same IP (as indicated by the
'Trying 192.168.0.1...' line), and the requests are identical once
connected. So why would the responses be different?
Any insight into this will be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks.
Christopher

Hi,
i saw two differences in your telnet output:
1st connection attempt:
<...>
Connected to 192.168.0.1
<...>
2nd connection attempt:
<...>
Connected to 192-168-0-1.example.com
<...>
So i do think this is the problem, though i can't give you solution to it.

Just curious . Could you show the output for your virtual hosts that DO
work? doing the same test . Telnet to IP, do the GET and HOST:
www.workingexample.com and then telnetting to www.workingexample.com 80 ,
etc. etc.. .
It may be helpful to see what everything says when it is working
