hi. this is wierd. today i brought a few ec2 clients out of a stopped

state and attempted to put them thru their chef-client run, as usual.

suddenly they are trying to access a URI on the chef server that doesn't

exist: /en-US/* .. thus they're failing with 404.

all my other nodes use this same chef server, same chef-client version

(chef-full-0.10.10-1, CentOS 5.8), and are not exhibiting this behavior

currently.

here's a bit of log from one of the failing clients. you can see the last time

chef ran back in August, it was accessing the correct URI. upon its first run

today, it tried the right URI, then suddenly, inexplicably tried prepending

that URI with "/en-US".

does anyone know what's going on here? what to look for?

more complete log output is in a gist:

thanks!

Chef is following a redirect, maybe check your load balancer config? Also there's a bit more info in the debug output from http responses in newer versions of chef if you need more information and upgrading is an option.
