Looks like some sequence of events convinces Firefox that HSTS is set, and it always rewrites the request as https (which is not supported by the server) after that.

It's only available on http, not https.

I am receiving a DNS error when trying to reach the URL

C:\Windows\System32>nslookup http://techblog.netflix.com/ 8.8.8.8

Server: google-public-dns-a.google.com

Address: 8.8.8.8

* google-public-dns-a.google.com can't find http://techblog.netflix.com/: Non-existent domain

I'm not on Windows, but I'm pretty sure your problem here is the "http://" - try just:

nslookup techblog.netflix.com 8.8.8.8

remove the http:// part and try again?
