Why does one of my favorite sites now give me a 400 error code?

Question

Why does one of my favorite sites ( 911truth.org) now give me a 400 error code?
It didn't until last night.
Is there a simple adjustment I can make to fix it?

http://www.911truth.org.uk/index.html still works though

Answer 2

400: Bad Request means the web server thinks you sent it a malformed request.



It can either be an issue on their webserver or on your computer. Some Malware/Spyware can cause this. I recommend downloading Malwarebytes from http://www.malwarebytes.org and running it to make sure.



You can also see a very detailed guide on 400 errors and steps to fix it (I posted the address on the sources below). I don't own/run that site and I think they sell products & services (I'm saying I'm not endorsing them in any way) but its a safe website and you don't have to buy or download anything.



EDIT: I just tried going to 911truth.org and I get the 400 error as well so it's not just you. But if you ever run into another 400 error my answer above may prove useful.

Answer 3

It could be that their security certificate expired. It shouldn't last too long. But it could also be a problem with your own provider's security settings.

Answer 4

Nothing you can do, it's an error on the site.
