oidc_util_http_call: curl_easy_perform() failed on: https://<<endpoint>> (getaddrinfo() thread failed to start\n)

[cheewanwoo]

does any one seen such problem ?
oidc_util_http_call: curl_easy_perform() failed on: https://<> (getaddrinfo() thread failed to start\n)

where
OIDCProviderMetadataURL https://<>/ext/.well-known/openid-configuration

[zandbelt]

some googling suggests that it is due to a local issue, firewall- or resource- related

[cheewanwoo]

yeah, I have the same idea as well and I had a network resource to trace the network routing and indeed it was a firewall issue and after the firewall issue was fixed, I could see traffic going through to the OIDCProviderMetadataURL https://<>/ext/.well-known/openid-configuration endpoint by testing it with curl -v https:///ext/.well-known/openid-configuration

And I even tried with
OIDCOutgoingProxy http://a10corp-bcprx.wip.uhc.com:8083 OR
OIDCOutgoingProxy a10corp-bcprx.wip.uhc.com:8083

And the same configuration works in our stage env. But off course our stage env has a different OIDCProviderMetadataURL https://<>/ext/.well-known/openid-configuration endpoint

I have looked at curl and libcurl and compared it to the stage env and its all the same installations

Here is the OIDC config
