Subscription to the binutils alias returns "Not Found"

Subscription to the binutils alias returns "Not Found"

[Ruud van der Pas]

Hi team,

Someone reported to me that they get an error when trying to
subscribe to the binutils alias through this page:

https://www.gnu.org/software/binutils/

I just tried this myself and indeed, this is the error I get:

Not Found

The requested URL was not found on this server.

I tried this with Firefox, Safari, and Chrome. They all fail.

Can someone perhaps look into this?

Thanks.

Kind regards, Ruud

Works fine for me.  Maybe you have a bad name server?

pkoning:e11 pkoning$ host www.gnu.org
www.gnu.org has address 209.51.188.116
www.gnu.org has IPv6 address 2001:470:142:5::116

Hi,

I was the original reporter of this problem. Name resolution works fine.

$ host www.gnu.org

www.gnu.org has address 209.51.188.116

www.gnu.org has IPv6 address 2001:470:142:5::116



Best,
Thomas

I assume that you mean that when you click on the "Send In The Request"
button on this page that you get the 404 error, and not that you cannot
load the page itself, right ?

If so, then please could you send an email about the problem to: webmasters@gnu.org

In my experience they have been very helpful and very quick to respond,
so I expect that you will hear something back quite quickly.

Cheers

Hi Nick,

Thanks very much for following up!

I just verified the problem persists and sent an email with a
description to webmasters@gnu.org

Kind regards, Ruud
