[cl-openid-devel] getaddrinfo fails upon calling 'cl-openid:initiate-authentication

[Aad Versteden]

Hello,


I've been trying to get cl-openid running today, yet I'm failing
miserably.  For some reason (it might not be specific to cl-openid,
yet I could reproduce it on two computers on the same network) the
call to 'cl-openid:initiate-authentication seems to fail with the
error "Name service error in "getaddrinfo": -2 (Name or service not
known)".  On ubuntu, that status code becomes -5.

This happens when running the rlying-part.lisp example (with an
updated call to 'init-relying-party) in the current darcs repository.

I have used darcs dist and ran asdf-install on that tarball to fetch
the other needed libraries.  Some changes were needed in the code, to
make it compatible with the current tarball of hunchentoot.

I have tried to run some c-code to see if getaddrinfo worked on some
trivial cases and that seems to work.  Hover, getaddrinfo seems to
fail on calls with an http prefix.

Any help is appreciated!
