Hello,

In any case, I've tried fetching the URLs using firefox and wget from a[...]
windows machine, and that works fine. Under linux, I've used lynx,
wget and telnet to port 80 (not gonna set up X11 just to debug this
issue!). Always I get an error:
lynx: Unable to connect to remote host.
telnet/wget: Name or service not known
Finally, a list of example URLs that I'm working with:
http://*rommi*.piczo.com/?cr=4&rfm=y
http://-------sweetly-------.piczo.com/?cr=6&rfm=y
These hostnames are just invalid.
From RFC 1912 - Common DNS Operational and Configuration Errors :
DNS domain names consist of "labels" separated by single dots. The
DNS is very liberal in its rules for the allowable characters in a
domain name. However, if a domain name is used to name a host, it
should follow rules restricting host names. Further if a name is
used for mail, it must follow the naming rules for names in mail
addresses.
Allowable characters in a label for a host name are only ASCII
letters, digits, and the `-' character. Labels may not be all
numbers, but may have a leading digit (e.g., 3com.com). Labels must
end and begin only with a letter or digit.
