> Your server is borked.

First of all, my server's IP has changed now to
201.79.145.166 , but at that time it was
200.222.134.220 .

Just took this picture (before changing the ip):

Sincerily, I can't see anything wrong in the trace you post.
If you use the domain-based url, it leads you to my IP-based server.

 athrasoft.com = 216.98.141.250:80 (domain monger redirector)
 -> 200.222.134.220:8081 (my IIS/5.0 server)

And your telnet session has reached my server normally, and has
received the server's header as any other header reader currently does.

The W3C's validator is correctly following the redirection. Thi sis not
the problem.
Even if you type in the final url ( http://200.222.134.220:8081/en/Home.htm )
directly in validator's uri field, the validator fails (W3C's, not Validome).

I didn't see any evidence of the "bork" in the trace you post.

So at this point the redirection completed fine.


>  $ telnet 200.222.134.220 8081
>  Trying 200.222.134.220...
>  Connected to 200222134220.user.veloxzone.com.br.

It says "OK", and "200222134220.user.veloxzone.com.br" corresponds
to my server's ip (at that time).

So the whole header has been reached.


> the server also timeouts way too quickly on input.

In fact, doing a tracerout from some locations it takes some
time to complete, and in some cases the tracerout is aborted.

It seems the problem is really with a botleneck somewhere in the
path. Validome takes 5-8 seconds to show the report; maybe its
closer to Brazil, dunno.

No plugin, no ASP at all, just serving plain html pages.

thanks for your effort, Olivier.
I think we have found the problem: the short timeout from W3C's
validator.

I remember day ago to be able to tracerout my server from USA,
but today it's really being a pain. I'll try again inthe next
days to see if something changes in this regard.

Thanks again.
