Hi Daniel,

>>Are you using a proxy when you use your normal browser?

Nope, no proxy is setup in my normal browser (Galean).

>>Can you *really* do 'telnet that.host.com 443' to connect to the
>>machine that curl doesn't?

I haven't tried that yet. But there are 2
completely different web sites
that my program is trying to communicate with and both print
out the same error message. Plus one of those machines is a node
in our VPN. Also the program works fine when run on another
client machine which has HP-UX installed on it.

>>Or even just 'nslookup that.host.com' ?

See above.

>>I find it very weird
>>that all those versions should have that huge errors in the name
>>resolving code, and no one else before reported any such
>>errors...

I do too. It seems to be a SuSE 8.2 problem. Everything works fine
when run on other distro's of linux (RH 7.0, Mandrake 8.0) and
even SuSE 8.1 but not 8.2. Very strange indeed.
