A digital misfit

What do you get if you click here? What browser do you use?

(this is hosted on my machine here and I’m trying to diagnose a redirect weirdness…but I don’t know if everyone is seeing it, or if its just me?)

Edit: problem now understood, but solution will have to wait until I’ve got a bit more time – some thing attempts a redirect to http://jounral/ (which is my mis-spell), which then gets either searched for or appended with ‘com’ and/or ‘www’ until it gets a hit. So I’m guessing I need to tell Apache either what its real server name is, or not to redirect for some of those things? I can’t work out how it decides between a redirect and an error page, but that can wait ’til tomorrow.

  1. I get one of those holding pages that pretends to be a search engine, at http://www.jounral.com/portal/ (Mozilla 1.7 Linux). Lynx doesn’t like it at all. What that url actually gives you is a redirect to “http://jounral/portal/”, which some browsers try adding www and .com to.
