Hi Hughe
OK, if we can't get this to work, do you definitely get DNS errors
from net/http, or is this an inference based on a hang?
the exact message is: "Hostname not known: blabla.s3.amazonaws.com"
(without the 'blabla' ofcourse).
Your sample code gives me "#<SocketError: Hostname not
known:footlewuddlewix.ent" ... looks like the same message.
When I substitute www.google.com, then your example works.
Ok ... so maybe you are right, its not a DNS thing. But why would the
identical code work on OSX ... ?

Do you have anything in your /etc/hosts file that is not in your
c:\system32\drivers\net\hosts(I don't know if that is exactly right) file?
I just played with:
#!shoes
require 'net/http'
Shoes.app{
�begin
� � para Net::HTTP.get URI.parse('http://footlewuddlewix.ent/')
�rescue => e
� � para e.inspect
�end
}
and if I don't have the rescue clause I just get a blank app for a nonexistent
domain, but I do get useful info in the shoes console (<alt-/>).
This works with a real working domain, producing the web page as raw
html in the para. �With the begin...rescue �I get useful results displayed.

Hi doki_pen,
I tried doing:
Shoes.setup do
� gem 'dnsruby'
end
require 'dnsruby'
Resolv = Dnsruby::Resolv
but Shoes then seems to hang permanently on "Looking for dnsruby". It
could be a chicken and egg problem ... perhaps it cant find dnsruby
because it cant resolve hostnames.
What is strange is that the 'download' examples work fine ... (and
they resolve the name google.com).
So maybe it is something about Net::HTTP which breaks, whilst the
'download' method (which I think calls C++ code) works fine.

Hi all,
Does anyone know how to fix hostnames not resolving on windows? (they
do in OSX). This is using net:http.
It would be worth knowing whether
require 'resolv-replace'
fixes this.
it doesn't appear to ... but in my testing, I did get one successful
resolving of a domain name (I kept trying an other 6 times all
unsuccessful (no code changes))
is it possible that resolving DNS it is inconsistent? (or am I going mad?)

In my experience, ruby's resolv impl is horrid. �I've been using dnsruby
with great success. �I think that if there is a timeout on the first dns
server listed, then ruby gives up(doesn't catch the timeout exception and
try the next dns server). �If you can't use dnsruby, then try switching the
order of your dns servers. �BTW, this is how _I_ use dnsruby:
require 'dnsruby'
Resolv = Dnsruby::Resolv
