Re: 500 error on a simple request

'500 Can\'t connect to www.xxxxxxxx.com:80 (Bad hostname \'www.xxxxxxxx.com\')

This looks to be a DNS issue and not a Perl issue. If the hostname cannot be resolved have a word with your network support folks and find out why. You could to a

nslookup www.xxxxxxxx.com

or

host www.xxxxxxxxxx.com

and see if it resolves from the command line.

Here's result from nslookup and also resolv.conf file.

It seems the first nameserver in the list doesn't work but the second does.

Does that mean my perl program always uses the first nameserver from the list?

Any suggestions what I should do before getting to support guys?

$ /usr/sbin/nslookup www.xxxxxxxx.com

Hi,

Do the same on the other two systems, present everything to Support and ask them if they have been messing with the system that has stop working properly.

Ask nicely, it's best to stay friends with Support
