I love google. But in the past few days, Google seems to timeout, particularly in Firefox. After doing a little digging, here's what I found:
$ lwp-request -SUsedx "http://www.google.com"
LWP::UserAgent::new: ()
LWP::UserAgent::request: ()
LWP::UserAgent::send_request: GET http://www.google.com
LWP::UserAgent::_need_proxy: Not proxied
LWP::Protocol::http::request: ()
[BIG HANG HERE]
LWP::UserAgent::request: Simple response: Internal Server Error
GET http://www.google.com
User-Agent: lwp-request/2.07
GET http://www.google.com --> 500 Can't connect to www.google.com:80 (connect: Invalid argument)
Content-Type: text/plain
Client-Date: Tue, 12 Jun 2007 17:04:59 GMT
Client-Warning: Internal response
Now, that's gotta be weird.
Oddly, if I use a specific IP, like http://64.233.187.99/, it seems to work fine.
Google resolves to 3 IP addresses for me, and the one that always hangs is 72.14.207.99.
Has anyone else experienced this?
