It works here with Mozilla Firefox 4 on both FreeBSD 9 and Windows XP 32, and Internet Explorer 8.0.6001.18702 on Windows XP 32, but fails here with (1) lynx 2-8-7, links 2.2, and dillo 2.2 on FreeBSD 9, and (2) dillo 2.2 20110401 on Windows XP 32 (the standalone version, obtained via http://dillo-win32.sourceforge.net/dillo/download.php). With (1) and (2), if I attempt to follow the link on http://www.freebsd.org/community/mailinglists.html to http://lists.FreeBSD.org/mailman/listinfo , the request fails with the error message: "FreeBSD.org - Document not found The file http://realcgi.sky.freebsd.org does not exist at this server. The closest match to your request is http://realcgi.sky.freebsd.org. Please contact the members of the FreeBSD Documentation Project <freebsd-doc@FreeBSD.org> or the server administrator www@freebsd.org." If instead I attempt to go directly to (note the difference in case: FreeBSD --> freebsd): http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo , it works (and for caching browsers, it subsequently works for the cache lifetime with lists.FreeBSD.org, presumably because the browser maps requests for lists.FreeBSD.org to the cached result for list.freebsd.org. Similarly, if one attempts to first go to lists.FreeBSD.org with one of these browsers, resulting in a failed request, subsequent requests to list.freebsd.org will fail during the cache lifetime.) Perhaps the server configuration or content can be changed to take into account that not all software has the same URL fix-ups? A few days before my first message, the failing link worked with (1).
