Ask HN: Have the URL shortcuts sheets.new and docs.new stopped working?

[willnz]

I'm getting the following error when I enter sheets.new or docs.new in my browser (it used to automatically open a new Google Sheet or new Google Doc):

400. That’s an error.

The server cannot process the request because it is malformed. It should not be retried. That’s all we know.

Huh. Works here. 400 error makes me wonder if there’s some middleware in your way that’s malforming the HTTP request? Might be worth checking the headers / TLS cert you get for those request.

Check your dns? They work here.
