Package: curl Version: 7.18.2-6 Followup-For: Bug #490624 This problem, I think, happens for me when I am trying to make curl get a URI where the hostname resolves to a CNAME (this is talking to a bind9 on an up to date Debian stable on the local network):
$ curl http://www.google.com/ curl: (6) Could not resolve host: www.google.com (DNS server returned answer with no data) $ curl http://google.com/ <HTML><HEAD><meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;charset=utf-8"> <TITLE>301 Moved</TITLE></HEAD><BODY> <H1>301 Moved</H1> The document has moved <A HREF="http://www.google.com/";>here</A>. </BODY></HTML> $ host google.com google.com A 64.233.167.99 google.com A 64.233.187.99 google.com A 72.14.207.99 $ host www.google.com www.google.com CNAME www.l.google.com www.l.google.com A 66.249.93.147 www.l.google.com A 66.249.93.99 www.l.google.com A 66.249.93.104 $ -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: powerpc (ppc) Kernel: Linux 2.6.25-asjo-powerpc Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=da_DK (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages curl depends on: ii libc6 2.7-12 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libcurl3 7.18.2-6 Multi-protocol file transfer libra ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.3.dfsg-12 compression library - runtime curl recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
