I have the following in a controller method: begin response = Net::HTTP.post_form(URI.parse(File.join(@site.url, 'scan_folder.json')), {inlay_key: @site.key}) @response = JSON.parse(response.body.to_s)['remote'] @response_type = 'success' @site.tested_client = true @site.save rescue @response = 'Could not locate Inlay Client.' @response_type = 'error' end
And it seems to work very well. But I have a test site that it is not finding. When I comment out the rescue portion, the error I get indicates that the host could not be found. I have tried adding a line to the hosts file (the way you would on a Mac to do fake DNS for a development site) and this too appears to be ignored completely. The Rails server is running on Ubuntu 14, with all the latest patches, and I even tried rebooting the entire server to get any caches to clear. Dig on the server is able to find the test machine, but Net::HTTP on the same server cannot. Can anyone offer a direction to start looking? Are there configurations that I could be doing to ensure that lookup is exhaustive before giving up?
