Strange Problem with Verify Links
I'll occasionally get links showing up on the Verify Links report showing an error code, but when I copy and paste the url into a browser the page loads fine.

Any thoughts on what could cause this?

What's the error code for the link?

- Request Failed (-4) Message: Could not connect

I rechecked the bad links again this morning and there's at least one domain that's returning
this error code, but all the pages load.

Have you tried connecting to the link through the server? Perhaps the address isn't accessible from the server (dns issues, firewall, etc).

I asked the tech at my host to look into it. He said he thinks the subnet is blocked at the other end. He can't connect to the sites via a browser or through the server.
