[erlang-questions] Network connections fail when starting rebar app using "console" parameter

[Whealy, Chris]

Hi Roger

My Cowboy app has a dependency on iBrowse - which has been working fine up until trying to start the app using “console”.

ibrowse:start(),
ibrowse:set_dest("download.geonames.org<http://download.geonames.org>", 80, [{max_sessions, 10}, {max_pipeline_size, 25}]),

Then I spawn another process to fetch some files from genomes.org<http://genomes.org> and wait for the results.  The spawned process is just a wrapper around ibrowse:send_req(Url, [{"If-None-Match", Etag}], get) that fires off an HTTP GET request to Url for a given Etag.

This all works fine when using the “start" parameter, but fails when using “console”…

Regards

Hi All

I have a Cowboy app that at startup time, downloads various files from another web server.  I’m using rebar to create a release, and this all works fine when I start the app using the “start” parameter

$ _build/default/rel/geo_server/bin/geo_server start

But all the downloads fail when I use the “console” parameter

$ _build/default/rel/geo_server/bin/geo_server console

No other network conditions have changed, but now all the HTTP connections fail with {conn_failed,{error,ehostdown}} which clearly is not the case...

Are extra parameters needed when starting the app using “console”?

Not usually. What are you using to download the files from the other web server?
