Farnall (UK) down again
orbiter:
I, like many of you guys get a lot of my stuff from Farnells, however have you noticed how much down time their website seems to have?
It seems as though whenever I need to get something, their site doesn't work :( Today is no different, except that this time it's not for maintenance, It's down altogether, not a sausage. In fact a big fat..'PAGE CANNOT BE DISPLAYED' is showing up. So the first thing I normally do is head over to the cpc.co.uk website just to see if they have what I want. However there's a probelm there too.. In that I think CPC is run by Farnell's so that site is down as well :(
And it's not just me.. I've checked... Handy site to keep in your favs too guys... http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com/
C'mon Farnell. With a business the size of your's the website should NOT be down so much!
Boloop:
He he, I think they have messed up their server setup or something.
Ok, farnell.com and uk.farnell.com resolve to the same IP. That has port 80 open. All looks good so far. Okay. We use netcat to talk to the sevrer.
"GET / HTTP/1.0" <-- The server will close the connection. Which will explain why google chrome says "Error 101 (net::ERR_CONNECTION_RESET): Unknown error."
However if you use the header "GET / 1.0/HTTP" it works. It works on incorrect headers, but not the right one. Lol.
--- Code: ---one@C:~$ nc uk.farnell.com 80
GET / HTTP/1.0
one@C:~$ nc uk.farnell.com 80
GET / 1.0/HTTP
HTTP/1.1 200 OK

no problem shafri ;)
Farnell's is up again now, I'll give it week :D
Zad:
Farnell is back up, but Element14 is now down... I guess they are doing upgrades / maintenance, but someone there really should learn how to put up a static apology page to inform people what is happening.
Element14 asked me to tell them what I thought was wrong with their site, that's just another 2 items for the list...
orbiter:
Agreed Zad.. Makes you wonder whether anybody actually reads those feedback forms.
