i am trying to do a get request to my webserver so i can retrieve a file, the file i want to retrieve is called venom.jpg and the webserver i am trying to connect to it on http://82.26.108.68/

my get request so far is :

"GET /venom.jpg HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: 82.26.108.68\r\n\r\n"

However all i get here is a return of 

HTTP/1.0 404 Not found

what have i done wrong in my request ?

Thanks

  • Can we assume this is not a routing question? Is 82.26.108.68 the actual IP address of your webserver? and it has a direct internet connection with no router on your local network? – Tyson Aug 10 '14 at 14:51
  • it is connected to the web through a router, when i go to 82.26.108.68 i can see the server etc but as commented below from the outside no one can see this so i am now unsure what is the problem – Rich Aug 10 '14 at 14:55
  • when I visit http://82.26.108.68 I am reaching a server, which i assume is yours, but it replies with a 503 Service Unavailable. So assuming you have port forwarding correct (i.e. port 80 is forwarding to the correct local server) then you do have a specific server config issue. – Tyson Aug 10 '14 at 15:02
  • Thanks i have looked into and i think it was just an issue of port forwarding, have rebooted the router and now can conenct to it using my phone on 3g and get back the right responce when using that request :) – Rich Aug 10 '14 at 15:19
  • Yes it appears to be working correctly now for both index and venon.jpg – Tyson Aug 10 '14 at 15:25

GET requests is what regular browser does to download a document. I've just typed http://82.26.108.68/venom.jpg in address bar and captured server's reply with Fiddler:

HTTP/1.0 404 Not found

Fix your server, it doesn't serve that file.
