ORIGIN OF THE PROBLEM: NXDOMAIN DNS Server My ISP is using this new feature called NXDOMAIN redirecting. With this feature the browser displays an isp search page for None existing domains.
for example: http://www.asfsdfaasdf.com/ how it works: if you request an none existing domain the dns server sends you the ip of an "search server" of the isp. it seems gwibber or one of the python libs has a problem if the DNS server does not correclty answer queries. I changed my dns server to one that correctly reply with NXDOMAIN and now EVERYTHING is WORKING you may also try http://code.google.com/speed/public-dns/ or as mentioned opendns. hope this information helps the developer to fix the problem. -- gwibber tries to call has_key on list---twitter doesnot work https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/530195 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
