I'm going to create some test pages on my web server of varying sizes to see if they work when the link seems dead.
Some test results from this:
I wrote a short PHP script which dumps as many chars as I tell it to in the URL, plus the HTTP header of-course.
Tested from home, I cannot access www.more-solutions.co.uk (homepage), but can access: http://www.more-solutions.co.uk/test.php?bytes=10 http://www.more-solutions.co.uk/test.php?bytes=100 http://www.more-solutions.co.uk/test.php?bytes=1000 http://www.more-solutions.co.uk/test.php?bytes=1200 http://www.more-solutions.co.uk/test.php?bytes=1276 but cannot access: http://www.more-solutions.co.uk/test.php?bytes=1277 .. and above.
If I use: wget -s http://www.more-solutions.co.uk/test.php?bytes=1276 .. I get a file of 1411 bytes (ie including HTTP headers etc). An MTU of 1458 means this is below the MTU with a bit of a margin, implying that the actual MTU limit should be lower still?
I am getting so confused!!
