Since yesterday I've been unable to access one of my favorite time-wasting sites, boston.com. It starts to load but then it gets redirected to pagesinxt or something like that.
After some investigation, I've narrowed it down to an issue with cache.boston.com, but only from my work location. I found the IP (216.38.160.107) , but even that doesn't work correctly from here at work.
When I do a
telnet 216.38.160.107 80
GET http://cache.boston.com/universal/css/hp_bgcom.css
from another location, I get a nice long CSS, as expected.
From here, I get an error (trimmed for size):
HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request
Your request could not be processed. Request could not be handled
This could be caused by a misconfiguration, or possibly a malformed request.
For assistance, contact your network support team.
Is there any way I can troubleshoot this further on my end? Tracert doesn't tell me anything too useful:
Tracing route to vwrpx1.ttn.xpc-mii.net [216.38.160.107]
over a maximum of 30 hops:
1 * * * Request timed out.
Since it's not really work-related, I don't really want to bring it up to our network team unless I know what's going on, or if there's some risk to the network (ex. malware or something)
