dns error on certain webpages

Hi,

today I got a strange issue on my Devuan Chimaera box which I had encountered and solved on Alpine a few weeks ago.

On qutebrowser and Falkon, when I go the the page https://lists.alpinelinux.org/ I get  a '404 Not Found nginx' error.
I also get an error on https://distrowatch.com/ 'Bad Request Your browser sent a request that this server could not understand.'
On waterfox, distrowatch works fine but lists.alpinelinux.org doesn't.
On Dillo, both lists.alpinelinux.org and distrowatch.com work fine.

Now, on Alpine, I solved the problem by installing dhclient and creating the file /etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf with the code:

option rfc3442-classless-static-routes code 121 = array of unsigned integer 8;

send host-name = gethostname();
request subnet-mask, broadcast-address, time-offset, routers,
	domain-name, domain-name-servers, domain-search, host-name,
	dhcp6.name-servers, dhcp6.domain-search, dhcp6.fqdn, dhcp6.sntp-servers,
	netbios-name-servers, netbios-scope, interface-mtu,
	rfc3442-classless-static-routes, ntp-servers;
	
prepend domain-name-servers 8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4;

On Devuan dhclient is already there, so I tried to append the 'prepend domain-name-servers 8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4;' line but to no effect.
Note that at the time, on Devuan the pages giving me errors worked fine. Except for an update/upgrade, I didn't change anything.

So, here what I have tried so far:

I tried on another Chimaera fresh install on my laptop = same error
I tried from Daedalus live cd with Firefox                      = same error
I tried from Slitaz frugal with tazweb                             = pages work fine

Here some more output:

Re: dns error on certain webpages

dig and ping only work for domain names, not HTTP urls...

so try :
dig lists.alpinelinux.org
ping lists.alpinelinux.org
dig distrowatch.com
ping distrowatch.com
etc... 

you can also try
dig distrowatch.com @8.8.8.8
and post output here...

nothing seems wrong above.. curl which works with urls seems to work just fine. an "output a mile wrong" probably seems correct...
your `curl https://lists.alpinelinux.org` shows 404 (works fine here), which mean it resolves succesfully, but didn't find the resource..

in general i would say you're experiencing network issues. or clock is failing, or something was manually changed in /etc/hosts or local resolver or router or isp or....

What does "no effect" mean, exactly? Are you sure Devuan is using dhclient? Did you try disabling it and populating /etc/resolv.conf manually instead?

If accessing Google's DNS directly fixes your problem then the problem probably lies with the router or ISP, as xinomilo notes.

Re: dns error on certain webpages

Hi,
thanks for the feedback.

I spoke to my my internet provider who made a reconfiguration of my modem.
Now I can access lists.alpinelinux.org, but I still get an error on distrowatch. (Bad Request
Your browser sent a request that this server could not understand.) on Qutebrowser and Falkon, but it works fine on Waterfox.

Re: dns error on certain webpages

so dns looks fine now and it's just a browser problem. better send a bug report in those browser projects.

Re: dns error on certain webpages

It seems odd that two separate browsers all of a sudden would present the same error (without having been upgraded). Of course, they are both based on Qtwebengine, so that might be a clue.
Yet, if both Qutebrowser and Falkon had problems displaying a page like Distrowatch, I'd think someone would have already noticed.
I'm, still inclined to think I messed something up somehow.
