short form of URL works intermittently

Post by jay@kimble-kennedy.com »

Hey all,

We have been getting complaints from some customers about our websites.
The short versions of the URL, like,
http://www.newmarketingsite.com/deluxe/gem
will not come up, and goes 404.
But the long version:
http://www.newmarketingsite.com/deluxe/ ... folder=gem
usually works.

Im trying to get data from our customers back on what are the factors on the client machines or browsers that cause this. I cant duplicate it here on our test machines.

im guessing spyware, scumware, etc.
Any thoughts, guys? Anyone run across this before?

But, would only happen on some machines and not others?

it's difficult to analyze proxies' behavior. it can depend on their overload and be undebuggable due to this. it would be useful to visit a customer or someone, where you can reproduce the problem.. if it's impossible, bring them to log the http traffic and look at the responses.
