Hard one: Need to find the IP address of this link(yes it is hard!)?
Hi!
I need to find the IP address of this page which opens a pdf file.
http://4gp.tw/b025/1386177834502.pdf
I am easily able to obtain the IP address of the domain 4gp.tw which is 176.67.166.222.
But I need to find an IP address(or whatever else) that I can type into the address bar and open this page directly. Typing the above IP address only takes me to the main page of the website.
I'd be grateful for advice on how to obtain IP adresses for such pages.

Web servers can run many web sites on the same IP address. The web sites get directed by the URL name. Connecting to the IP direct always fails, because there is no URL (web name), and the system cannot re-direct the request to any web page.

To expand on this a little more, it is likely a name based virtual host (multiple sites on same IP). Content that is served is based on the "Host" http header from the browser. So if you use the IP address instead of the hostname.domain in a URL, you get different content (if any) than if you use the proper name for that specific virtual host.

If it's a shared host, (many websites sharing one ip address), which it looks like it is., you won't be able to.
