"Host not found" error #1038

Is there any other reasons for this "Host not found" error?

My laptop can resolve the hostname, and can connect to it fine via HTTP. I've seen it on a few different networks/ISPs, but where I am is currently weird. I'm at my parents, which is the same network setup, and same ISP as I have at my flat.. But it's seemingly not working today for a while. Restarting the app did fix it a bit later...

Relatedly... How do I get more debugging information out of the app? Or a log, to help diagnose things like this?

On 5.12, seen it on older versions too. macOS 10.13.1

Thanks!

Seems to be related to changing networks. Restarting the app fixes it... but it shouldn't spend all day just trying to reconnect, and failing for some reason

It will be difficult to repeat your situation. This can be a problem both in the program and in the operating system.

It will be difficult to repeat your situation.

Connect to a remote instance of transmission. Change networks. Watch how the app behaves

What does it mean to change the network?

reedy commented 6 years ago

In my unexpected testing, I've been changing wifi networks, to ones where it's then behind a different internet connection (usually in a different location, but this part shouldn't make any difference)

I have the same error when trying to connect to my MiBox's Transmission. I'm on the same network, but always get host not found, but I can connect using web interface. tried to set a password but it didn't help.

EDIT!! I've found what I was doing wrong The HTTP://

Here what I've found. Tried to set a password, but it didn't help, turning on or off SSL doesn't make any difference. transmission transmission2 transmission3 transmission4 transmission5

host remoto == 192.168.1.32 (no http://)

port scan - the test port is available

Seems that I have the same issue today, didn't change anything to my config, but I get "Host not found", even though ping works, and I tried a curl request to the RPC endpoint and it works as well. My DNS works well too. Just to be sure I used "google.com" as the server host and transgui also said "host not found" straight away. It used to work until a couple of days ago, very weird issue.

If entering an IP address as the host, it connects to it, but it doesn't work as I have multiple hosts on this server, and the default host doesn't serve the transmission RPC server but a website.

I'm on Debian with version 5.17.0.

Thanks.

Same issue here on macOS Catalina. Connecting via hostname doesn't work. Connecting via IP address works.

I ran into this issue today, which I think was due to my config does having only IPv6 DNS servers. Adding a IPv4 resolver fixed it.

Can anyone else confirm that this is the case?

I am on Fedora 36.
