Anyone else getting this? I've had it from one or two addresses,
for example:
http://www.natwest.com/global/customer-charter/g1/ideas-bank.ashx
gives me the error "Couldn't resolve hostname" yet the host name appears
to be OK. What's more if I delete the last element NetSurf does resolve
the host name and gives me an expected 404 error.

I don't want a "user experience" - I just want stuff that works.

That URL does not go too well on Safari, or Firefox, on a Mac.
"We can?t connect to the server at communities.natwest.com."
This works :-

I do not know where you are, or, wherever you are, the quality of
your Internet connection, but, here in Australia, after the feral
government imposed the No Bl***y Network on us, Internet connections
have become erratic and intermittent, leading to lots of such errors,
which, upon retrying, oft disappear, when the connection is (however
briefly) restored.
However, I have just tried to visit that particular URL, and, got
errors, and, changes/redirections, as I progressively went up levels,
to the base URL.
It could be either a shonky web site (I am well aware of what the URL
belongs to, but, that does not mean that they are capable of, or,
willing to, present a decent web site), or, it can be an issue with
the "https:", which causes different problems with different browsers,
or, both.
