Well, you get 302 -> "The HTTP/1.0 specification (RFC 1945) required the client to perform a temporary redirect (the original describing phrase was "Moved Temporarily")"
Code:
root@jail-1:/home/andy/test_deployment/C/ncurses# curl http://www.cnn.com
<html>
<head><title>302 Found</title></head>
<body bgcolor="white">
<center><h1>302 Found</h1></center>
<hr><center>nginx</center>
</body>
</html>

You should try curl on
Code:
http://edition.cnn.com/

Here is the output:

Code:
root@jail-1:/home/andy/test_deployment/C/ncurses# curl http://edition.cnn.com/ | more
