Hello,
has anybody some background info how NetLibGetHostByName can return this
error? I mean, of course the case, when all supplied arguments (incl. the
URL) are correct.
Some observations:
- During the connect process I broke the connection physically. (Deactivated
BT adapter carrying out the communication.) I got correct cancel error, but
after the connection was working again, I got netErrDNSNonexistantName quite
a few times until everything started to work again. Among other things I
tried also disconnect, so I actually don't know what helped - i.e. retries
or disconnect.
- If the netErrDNSNonexistantName appears, then it appears more or less
instantly, i.e. without any web communication. This suggests some form of
caching. The question is how to clear the cache. I did not find anything in
the netlib API, so it looks like only the disconnect might do it.
- From time to time we get user reports stating something like "I am getting
netErrDNSNonexistantName for this URL, while all remaining other URL's work
flawlessly. Moreover, problematic URL works with Blazer."
- I got these errors on tcp over BT. (BT connected to PC.) I don't know
anything about the user setup.
With best regards,
