Comment (by starlight):

 Not mine!

 Does appear the trailing dot is in the
 page request, though it may be worth
 noting that the trailing dot is added
 by `dig` to requests if not provided
 explicitly.

 The article still exhibits the problem (as
 of this post) and is at

 www.nytimes.com/2015/06/28/sports/basketball/phil-jackson-knicks-triangle-
 offense-nba.html

 DNS names are not find-able in the CTRL-U page
 source and so probably are buried in some JavaScript,
 an I-frame or are obfuscated somehow.

 I have no opinion on this, but noticed the issue
 and it seems to work in normal browsers which
 motivated the ticket.  Problem causes the
 page to hang in Tor Browser.
