Hi,

I am having problems making calls to a server using its hostname instead of the IP addrress. According to examples here on the forum, either way should work.

The server I am trying to access is a Raspberry Pi which sits on the same local network as my HC2. Its name is raspberrypi. It can be accessed using the name raspberrypi.local from any computer on the network.

This works:

This generates errorcode 2:

The only difference is that in the first example I am using the IP address and in the second I am using the hostname.

Using a browser to call the same url , "http//:raspberrypi.local:5001/query", works fine so I know the server is there, listens and responds.

Any ideas?
