I can confirm that a wget to https://snort.org hangs indefinitely: wget https://snort.org --2014-08-13 22:19:36-- https://snort.org/ Resolving snort.org (snort.org)... 205.178.189.129 Connecting to snort.org (snort.org)|205.178.189.129|:443... failed: Connection timed out.

I suspect you're correct in that the initial server that does the 301 redirect has no listener on https (443/tcp). I CAN confirm that modifying the user-agent to something even dumber than my example above (e.g. wget --user-agent "wgetbypass" snort.org) works perfectly; follows 301, downloads index page as needed. I could just as easily modify my code to add a spoofed user-agent to wget, but I'd really like to hear from the snort.org crew why this is a thing and if I'm in violation of some user agreement/ToS if I bypass this.

As you can see on "Moved Permanently", http://snort.org has just a redirect to https://www.snort.org. https://snort.org hangs until timeout is reached because there is no service really listening on 443 port of this address. I don't know why just wget's user-agent is redirected to localhost , but you can still use wget directly with https://www.snort.org: wget -c https://www.snort.org 2014-08-13 23:02 GMT-03:00 Tony Robinson <deusexmachina667 () gmail com>:Title says it all.

Is there a reason for this? I use wget to pull the index page and determine the current version of snort to download from the page. I don't repeatedly do this, only when installing Snort on a new machine. Too long;didn't read: wget to snort.org redirects to localhost. wget to snort.org with any other user-agent results in happy index.html wget to https://snort.org no user-agent modification hangs until timeout is reached. why is this a thing? -- when does reality end? when does fantasy begin? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Snort-users mailing list Snort-users () lists sourceforge net Go to this URL to change user options or unsubscribe: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/snort-users Snort-users list archive: http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?forum_name=snort-users Please visit http://blog.snort.org to stay current on all the latest Snort news!-- *Best Regards,* Jefferson “*Diede”* Diego
