hello,
For the last couple of weeks whenever I do a websearch on IDL,for example
"IDL decompress dicom" I get alot of search results that point me to www.harrisgeospatial.com, which is not a surprise since Harris bought Exelis about 18 months ago. I know that, since I hired on at Exelis/Harris six weeks ago.
Nothing happens when I click the link, eventually I get the following message:
This site can't be reached
www.harrsigeopspatial.com too look long to respond.
I'm using Chrome. With IE the error says I should make sure www.harrisgeospatial.com exists.
Not sure what would happen with Safari or Firefox but I'm guessing nothing good.
This is sort of a hoot.I talked to someone in Boulder and I'm not the only person who's having problems. If I was running Harris someone would have lost their job.

Hi,
I think this might have to do with differences in the link protocol: http vs. https.
If I type in your search I get the following two first hits:
http://www.harrisgeospatial.com/docs/ExpandedDICOMFunctional ity.html
https://www.harrisgeospatial.com/docs/FILE_UNZIP.html
The unsecure version (http) opens immediately. The secure version (https - ssl certificate) takes ages, but eventually opens. Opened once, it's then much quicker the second time around.
Both tested with google Chrome from Germany.
The site is certified by DigiCert.
By the way, there is probably a typo in the error you got:
This site can't be reached
www.harrsigeopspatial.com too look long to respond.
The address "harrisgeo..." is misspelled.
Just expanding on Lajos answer. The authority section is:
:~$ host -v www.harrisgeospatial.com
...
exelisvis.com. 172799 IN NS dns1.exelisinc.com.
exelisvis.com. 172799 IN NS dns2.exelisinc.com.
;; ADDITIONAL SECTION:
dns1.exelisinc.com. 172799 IN A 151.190.40.10
dns2.exelisinc.com. 172799 IN A 151.190.254.251
So maybe they have a problem with these servers (dns1 and dns2).
They respond well to traceroute...
Cheers,
Helder

Thanks, this is good information. However, my point is that the link to harrisgeospatial that pops up on a google search for anything to do with IDL doesn't work. Hopefully someone at the company will read these posts and fix the problem.

This synmptom sounds like your local admin has blocked or blacklisted the route. From the same node, can you run tracert from your OS command line to "www.harrisgeospatial.com" to see if it's blocked before it hits an external site?

This symptom sounds like your local admin has blocked or blacklisted the route. From the same node, can you run tracert from your OS command line to "www.harrisgeospatial.com" to see if it's blocked before it hits an external site?

I finally contacted someone at Harris who's familiar with this problem. It turns out that there's an internal firewall that prevents people in the building from accessing www.harrisgeospatial.com. I can get an exemption, or, I'm told I can take my laptop to the Starbucks next door and I'll be able to access the website with no trouble at all.
