Why can't I use the Yahoo! search function? I get the following message: "Bad Request (Invalid Hostname)"

I cannot search on Yahoo! but Google works fine (inasmuch as you can trust Google)
The simplest of searches yields "Bad Request (Invalid Hostname)" on the first try. I have gone through Yahoo!'s trouble shooting process w/o results.

Yahoo search engine still doesn't work, and Google does. Other programs on my computer are:
Norton Internet Security;
Norton Utilities;
Verizon In-home agent; (I don't use it, but have a Verizon wireless router);
Windows Explorer (I reset it but still can't use Yahoo search even though Google works fine)
I am paranoid that some how the evil Google has sabotaged Yahoo search! HELP!!!

Cant access search engines anymore. it always comes up with: bad request, invalid hostname

for some reasen my laptop started to connect to the internet via my univerisities proxy server. today, however, web sites didnt load at all, instead it said: cant connect to proxy server.
so i changed the network/proxy settings by deselecting 'use a proxy server for your lan'.
consequently i was able to acces most web sites, apart from search engines. if i try to do so, it always comes up with: bad request, invalid hostname.
what can i do?

btw i have windows 7 :)

Bad Request (Invalid Hostname)

Hi! I am attempting to switch my hosting account on one of my
websites. The host gives me "shell access" information, but I can't
find where to enter it in Dreamweaver. The result is when
attempting to access the website I get the message "Bad Request
(Invalid Hostname)". Can anybody help me? I would appreciate
it!

You need the FTP information not the shell access
information. Do you have
that?

What does "BAD REQUEST" mean when clicking on a site?

I am on a site which has links for other sites. I click on one and "BAD REQUEST" is the only result on the succeeding screen. This only happens with Firefox. I can get to the site using IE8. What gives?
I'm using ver 3.6.13.

That is usually a problem with corrupted cookies.

What does bad argument 0x10000003 mean on macbook pro

what does bad argument 0x10000003 mean on macbook pro during boot up after a question mark folder appearing?

At that point, I had taken one of the DIMs out to see if the RAM was the issue. I took it to the Apple Store and they said that the hard drive might be bad, so they wiped everything on the hard drive. After that, I was still experiencing the kernel panics. So another guy looked at it and said that it might be bad RAM. So I called the company and got them to send me more RAM and after inserting the new RAM, I still get kernel panics. I've been saving all the panic reports in a folder on my flash drive. Today I got a total of four. And then I got four the day before that. Mind you, this didn't start happening until I upgraded my system to Mavericks.
I really wish there was a way I could post them all so someone could look at them, cause to be honest, none of the code in it makes any sense to me.

What does 'include render files' option mean for when I duplicate a project. I deselected it and the duplicated file is very slow so maybe this has affected it. It's a shame cause original project is deleted. Have I lost the rendered files? Thanks

Yes, if you duplicate without the render files and delete the original project you lose the render files. But render files get recreated - automatically if you have it set in the preferences (which is the default option). It just takes time.

HTTP 400 Bad Request Invalid URL error when URL contain only percent "%" without any Hexadecimal

Hi All, I'm trying to redirect a custom error page when URL contain percent "%" symbol. But when I use percent "%" symbol in URL (https://mctest.aspial.com.sg/%), its saying below error. I don't want to show this error message. I want
to redirect users to custom error page. I already added custom error page in IIS & Web.config file for status code 400. But It's now working. It's still showing the same error.
Bad Request - Invalid URL
HTTP Error 400. The request URL is invalid
Is there any way to redirect custom error page when URL contain only "%" symbol? Anyone please help me on this. Thanks advance.
Below are my server details:
IIS version 7.5
.Net Framework 4.0

I see, so the issue isn't with the % in the query string but rather the URL path itself. In that case I don't believe this is anything related to your app but rather the web server. When you provide a URL the web server has to map that to an
application. Depending upon where the character falls determines who gets to handle it. Since the % is next to the domain name it is most likely not being mapped by the web server so you get the general 400 error. Since this isn't an app
issue but a server level issue you'd have to redirect at the server level (in IIS: Server\Error Pages). If the % is inside an application's virtual directory then it becomes an issue for the application (in IIS: Site\Error Pages).
But things can get more complicated. The web server generally has filters so it won't support requests for certain things (like web.config in ASP.NET apps). Filtering can be done anywhere between the server and the application. Complicating
this is virtual path providers (like MVC).
To be honest I don't think you should be worrying about this scenario. An invalid % in a URL is a bad request so you shouldn't try to treat it differently than a regular 400 error. In fact I'd say that it could be a security hole (depending
upon what you're doing). So you can customize 400 errors at the server or app level if you want but I wouldn't bother trying to distinguish bad URLs from bad requests.
I recommend you post this question in the ASP.NET forums (http://forums.asp.net ) to see if anyone has a better answer.

Intermittent 400 Bad Request - Invalid Verb SharePont 2010

Hey,
This is a long shot that someone has seen this or maybe can give some hints on finding the problem.
We are getting a rare (once per day) 400 Bad Request - Invalid Verb error in SharePoint 2010 during a POST - this has happened when adding a ListItem. Once the page is refreshed it works perfectly.
We have an on-premise instance of SharePoint 2010, it happens on all browsers.
The request header looks exactly the same for a succesful update as athe error. Any ideas where to start?
The response in Fiddler is

Hi,
For narrowing down the issue, we need more investigations. Please provide more information about:
What web form were you posting? Is it an customized web form page? Or you could save more detail information in Fiddler and send to me via
[email protected] .
Since it is an intermittent issue, is there any application-layer awareness intermediate device such as proxy or reverse proxy/gateway between your client machine and SharePoint server? If so, please exclude the IP of SharePoint Server in the Proxy and
test the issue again.
Please check your IIS log and see if there is any error message related error 400.
Moreover, please check the performance of your SPS server, WFE and especially SQL server.
Regards,
Please remember to mark the replies as answers if they help and unmark them if they provide no help. If you have feedback for TechNet Subscriber Support, contact

IISProxy URL - Bad Request (Invalid URL) in refresh option

Hello SDN colleagues,
We are facing a very strange behavior in SAP EP 6, let me try to explain as clear as I can.
First, the EP version:
J2EE Engine 6.40 PatchLevel 89291.313
Portal 6.0.11.3.0
KnowledgeManagementCollaboration 6.0.9.0.0 (NW04 SPS09)
We have activated Windows Authentication Integration through IISProxy (version 1.6.2.0), it's working fine and the portal users are being authenticated automatically once the're logged in the MS network, using the url http://sapep.domain.com/irj.
The problem: when the user clicks the "Refresh" option in the Page Title Bar, the portal displays the message "Bad Request (Invalid URL)." This is happening with all pages, and the worst - in the UWL iview when the user tries to launch a transaction.
But if the user logs on using the authentication form - url http://sapep.domain.com:50000/irj/portal - there is no error.
It seems that the problem is related to the mapping made by IISProxy, after logging the user and redirecting to the portal it's just change the url to the standard (port 50000) then it works fine.
Here is the mapping done in the iisproxy xml file:
<ISAPI-config version="1.6">
   <filter name="IisProxy filter" authentication="forward" />
      <extension name="IisProxy extension" />
        <mapping name="IisProxy Portal" >
          <source>
            <protocol>http</protocol>
            <prefix>/irj</prefix>
          </source>
          <source>
            <protocol>http</protocol>
            <prefix>/portal</prefix>
            <new-prefix>/irj</new-prefix>
          </source>
          <source>
            <protocol>http</protocol>
            <new-prefix>/irj</new-prefix>
          </source>
          <target>
            <protocol>http</protocol>
            <host>sapep.domain.com</host>
            <port>50000</port>
          </target>
       <compress-types>text/html, text/plain</compress-types>
     </mapping>
Any idea ? Is it possible to keep the standard url ?
Thanks in advance, and regards.

Hi Fernando,
This sounds like SAP Note 734462:
https://websmp103.sap-ag.de/~sapidb/012006153200000213912004E.ITF
Microsoft Link (also avilable in the note):
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;820129
The value to change is UrlSegmentMaxLength (We changed from 260 to 1000).
A restart to the whole server is required for the change to take affect (since it's a change to the registry).
Hope that helps,
Yoav.

What does a medium write error mean, when trying to burn a cd?
It's an error message returned by the burner. You can see the full list of these error messages here
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Key_Code_Qualifier>
It's not specific enough to pinpoint what caused it—it could be anything from a bad optical medium (CD-R) to a dusty or dying laser diode. You have to isolate the problem—use a different CD-R brand, try a different speed, use a different burn engine (eg, Burn), etc. If it occurs once or twice, randomly, it's more likely to be a bad disc. If it occurs consistently, and at the same stage of the burn process, it's more likely to be a drive or software issue.

What does Transparent Networking Substrate (TNS) mean ?

Hello,
what does Transparent Networking Substrate (TNS) mean?
I searched several Oracle documentations but couldn't find a plain explanation!
Thanks

In addition to the glossary definition...
For what most people care about, TNS is a layer that transparently allows you to use a variety of different methods to resolve database aliases. You can configure a tnsnames.ora file, you can set up Oracle Names, an LDAP directory, or you can use host names.
