I can browse to either URL in any browser, getPage() works fine on the external address, 404's on the localhost address.
Does the same thing happen with "127.0.0.1" instead of "localhost" in the URL? I once encountered a nasty setup where a machine itself did not have "localhost" in /etc/hosts and the DNS server returned the IP address of another machine on the network...
Yes, unfortunately, same thing and the hosts file is also correct. This is in OS X, and the valida†or URL I'm calling is being served by Apache 2.2, and is a ScriptAlias like so (in an includ of httpd.conf): ScriptAlias /w3c-validator/check '/Applications/Validator- SAC.app/Contents/Resources/validator/httpd/cgi-bin/check_wrapper.sh' Thing that's got me baffled is that I can go to it just fine in a browser, I can `curl` it, but, now, after a little more digging, wget can't get it either! So: curl http://localhost/w3c-validator/check <-- returns HTML code any browser to http://localhost/w3c-validator/check <-- returns HTML code t.w.c.getPage("http://localhost/w3c-validator/check") <-- 404 wget http://localhost/w3c-validator/check <-- 404 So what the heck is the difference in how these things resolve that address!?
