Re: Accessing tools from IETF pages

Both links work just fine from a selection of browsers/os/machines other
than Msoft. (Firefox, Evolution, Chrome)  It also works on an old
version of IE8 but reports errors.

Presumably turning off some strict error checking in IE allows it to
display.

Running the page through the W3C HTML validator reports 14 Errors and 3
Warnings:

I wanted to submit an I-D so I wanted to access the tools, as I have
done before, so I clicked on 'IETF Tools' from

http://www.ietf.org/iesg/
with the same result.  Can anyone else get to tools from that link?

It resolves to
http://tools.ietf.org/
which Internet Explorer (what else?) assures me cannot be displayed,
either from the link or from typing it into the Open drop down.

The trouble ticket drew a response of

"It sounds like the tools pages were experiencing some issues that have
now been resolved."

Well, for a few milliseconds, perhaps, but I get the same response
24x7x365x...

Not that easily put off, I found a way around it (thank you, Google),
but in the spirit of wanting others to be able to do what I can (with
some difficulty) do, I would like those links to work (or to disappear).
