400 bad request

[Caruut]

Getting this message when I try and connect to http://www.cyclingnews.com. The other prefaces work. For example, http://forum.cyclingnews.com and http://autobus.cyclingnews.com work, but http://www.cyclingnews.com/photos and http://www.cyclingnews.com/road do not.

The message is:

400 Bad Request

tested here and works on all browsers.. what doesnt help is that cn are redirecting http://cyclingnews to the www. but have subdomains for the forum etc etc. www is so old hat, if anything they should be redirecting the www. to a straight http:// version.

You can try clearing your dns cache and see if that sorts it.

from cmd

ipconfig /flushdns

may or may not help.

Clear your cookies, fixes it all the time. See that nginx at the end of your quote? That's the problem, they have yet to fix that issue with nginx since it started, their solution is to have us clear our cookies, just the CN cookies, you can leave the rest alone if you need/want to keep them.

CN bringing the worse of the web to the Web, way to go folks.

PS: As they always say, they have no money to fix it but surely do have money to add more layers to their website, I lost count of the scripts they've added, I guess those scripts are free

Erm, why is that a problem?

Fixed now, thanks.

Glad you got it working again. I'll talk to our operations team to try and apply the same fix we made to the forum server when this was happening.

Dont mind me.. Im part of the new school of thought that doesnt like the www

And aesthetically, if you have a site with subdomains such as http://forum.cyclingnews http://autobus.cyclingnews then visually it looks better to have the direct site as http://cyclingnews (although i appreciate that www. is technically a subdomain for all intents and purposes)
