This is not what happens to me using Firefox. I get a page entitled
"ART MATRIX FRACTALS", which gives grateful thanks to Professor John
Hubbard at Cornell University. I mention the latter because I am at a
coffee shop a block away from Cornell University. The location bar
reads http://http/.

http://ftp gives me a page only the following written: "hi this is
adore". The location bar reads http://ftp/.

http://ibm directs me to http://www.ibm.com/us/.

http://http/www.opensourcecms.com/ gives a Not Found error: "The
requested URL /www.opensourcecms.com/ was not found on this server."
Not surprising.
