| Cause | |
| Resolution | Artix uses the API: gethostbyname() in Unix to resolve hostnames, which checks first /etc/hosts, sometimes the DNS local cache, then queries the list of DNS servers configured in /etc/resolve.conf. if multiple DNS servers are configured in /etc/resolve.conf, and the good one is , let's say, the third of the fourth, it will take longer for Artix to do the name resolution. In addition, time spent in name resolution is included in the overall "SendTimeout" Artix configuration, which puts a limit on the duration it takes to complete name resolution. In order to make the "SendTimeout" longer, this configuration variable can be either set though the "HTTP conf" WSDL extensor, or by API. |
