interesting.
I also dial tcp!www.9netics.com!http, but failed. Actually,
I cannot even ping it successfully. (other sites such as www.google.com can be pinged on my system.) By the way, if fossil uses another ip, how to find that?

works here (see below). i wonder if fossil is announcing on a different ip than you're expecting?

% 9c dial.c
% 9l -o dial dial.o
% ./dial tcp!www.9netics.com!http

yan,

did you try to use packet capture software like wireshark, or snoopy(8)
on plan 9, to see the packets?

running wireshark on linux, and snoopy on plan 9, will give you insight
into if the packets reach the other side successfully.
