I've added a potential fix based on HEAD to my clone of mahara which will give
a more informative error message if trying to use an invalid hostname at:

Any thoughts?

XMLRPC link to hosts with underscore
I suspect that the reason you're getting an unknown error is that, in 1.2.5, we
were only catching RemoteServerExceptions in
auth/xmlrpc/lib.php:PluginAuthXmlrpc->validate_config_options().
In Mahara 1.3+ we also catch ParamOutOfRangeException and you would actually
get the correct error message
Hi Andrew,
Yes - the line "throw new ParamOutOfRangeException('Could not find IP
address for host: '.addslashes($hostname));" in bootstrap(..) is being
thrown.
The hostname I used was something like moodle_19.xxx.corp,
get_hostname_from_uri() returns "moodle", gethostbyname() returns the
same "mo
Hi Nathan,
I've tried to replicate this issue but am having trouble in doing so. I've
tried both on HEAD and 1.2.5_RELEASE in case this bug had already been fixed
elsewhere.
I've tried connecting from moodle_badhostname.local to mahara.local with no

When I tried setting up networking fro

I'll set up a Moodle VM on an invalid hostname and see what error
messages I'm getting and how they can be improved.

Hi Andrew,
Ok - agreed the standards don't permit underscores. Some DNS and HTTP
implementations do permit these but (even if incorrectly) so it becomes
somewhat philosophical, is it best to uphold the standard or do you
attempt to cater for the various implementations? If just the standard
then a
Hi Nathan,
I've just been having a closer look at this bug. I can confirm that, as
you suggest, get_hostname_from_uri() in api/xmlrpc/lib.php does not
accept underscores in hostnames. However, I also believe that it is
correct in no accepting these. Section 3.2.2 of RFC 2396[1] describes
the form
