[RESOLVED] Wordpress permalink, 404 and telnet

[teguh123]

Guys,

I used Wordpress and use permalink feature

If I pull this in mozilla firefox

http://genetips.com/2007/04/06/love-of-money-is-root-of-all-peace-and-prosperity/archive.htm

For example,

It'll work fine.

However, when I do telnet:

telnet genetips.com 80
GET /2006/04/13/why-moral-issues-become-porn-issues/archive.htm HTTP/1.0

It doesn't work. I got 404 error.

telnet genetips.com 80
GET / HTTP/1.0

works fine though.

I am sure the problem is not because wordpress issue 404 error in header. After all, 404 error is only displayed when wordpress consider there is no such permalink and in those cases my 404 template will pop up.

So what's the problem?

Why I can access it via firefox and not via telnet? What's the difference between the 2??

Is this because when we access site via telnet we ignore .htaccess?

Looks like there might be multiple sites hosted on that server. In this case, you have to specify which site you're requesting the address from, e.g.

GET /2007/04/06/love-of-money-is-root-of-all-peace-and-prosperity/archive.htm HTTP/1.1
Host: genetips.com
