This guy is having trouble connecting. Although I can use the website fine with a number of browsers, I am able to replicate this exact sequence using telnet. What's the issue here?
This fellow apparently can't see the website.

I was able to replicate it with telnet and ab, but now it works again:

The request doesn't specify a user-agent. Those are blocked since they originate from badly written spiders most of the time.

Yay- that's it. My non-working ab run was a hit on my local cache.
This works: GET / HTTP/1.1 Host: en.wikipedia.org User-Agent: idontlikeuastrings
Ah, very good. I will let him know.
