Well, Mozilla takes me to http://www.http.com , which has nothing to
do with MS. The browser is still being too clever for its own good!

$ host www.http.com
www.http.com has address 207.44.141.40
$ host 207.44.141.40
40.141.44.207.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer
ev1s-207-44-141-40.ev1servers.net.
