Is domain guessing stuck on? It prepends www. to my URL, even tho I've used about:config to set domain guessing to false.

I clicked a link for http://zebox.com/jlsmith/music - which has worked before.

I get:

   Server not found
   Firefox can't find the server at www.zebox.comjlsmith.

You'll see that: 1. It has prepended "www." to my URL. 2. It has lost the "/" after the ".com".

Consequently, it's looking for a non-existent site!

I checked my settings using about:config. Domain guessing is set to false and Internet keyword search is set to true. On both counts, domain guessing shouldn't occur.

That is a problem with that server. It looks that that site no longer exists.

It redirects that URL: Location: http://www.zebox.comjlsmith/music

The link http://www.zebox.com/jlsmith/music gives a message that the requested URL is not found on that server.

Your reply was rather confusing! ;-)

However, when I followed the web-sniffer link, I found it gave status "301 Moved permanently", which I understand to mean that the URL "http://zebox.com/jlsmith/music" had been moved permanently to the URL "http://www.zebox.comjlsmith/music".

So perhaps you meant to write: "It redirects that URL _to_ Location: http://www.zebox.comjlsmith/music"?

Since the new URL is not well-formed, it's not recognised as a valid URL, so that's a dead-end. I guess I now need to try the wayback machine, or try contacting "jlsmith" - which is lucky, since he's just sent me his email address! ;-)

Thanks for your help.

Even if I correct that URL by adding a slash after .com (www.zebox.com/jlsmith/music) then I still get an error that the URL can't be found on the server when checking with web-sniffer. That is what I meant to say.
