When using cURL from my ubuntu machine to merely GET from a remote machine, I seem unable to resolve the hostname and just get a Proxy Issue - The proxy has encountered an error (Error 21: Server Hostname Not Found)
when running:
curl remotehostname
However, I am able to ping both remotehostname
and it's ip address, and using curl
on just the ip address works fine, e.g. curl 1.2.3.4
.
I even tried a java program that uses the ApacheHttpClient
implementation of the Jersey Client
, and that worked fine too.
Is there a particular reason why cURL is unable to interpret remotehostname
when everything else seems able to? I imagine it is a proxy related issue but as far as I can tell my proxy is set up fine seeing as everything else seems to work, just not cURL.
