async client raises IPv4 or IPv6 address ValueError for URL "https://eodhistoricaldata.com"

[topher-lo]

Current Behaviour

OS platform

• WSL Ubuntu 20.04

Python version

• Python 3.9

Dependencies

• Just httpx and asyncio

import asyncio
import httpx

async def get():
  r = await httpx.get("https://eodhistoricaldata.com")
  print(r)

asyncio.run(get())

Causes the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/USER/miniconda3/envs/project/lib/python3.9/site-packages/anyio/_core/_sockets.py", line 149, in connect_tcp
    addr_obj = ip_address(remote_host)
  File "/home/USER/miniconda3/envs/project/lib/python3.9/ipaddress.py", line 53, in ip_address
    raise ValueError('%r does not appear to be an IPv4 or IPv6 address' %
ValueError: 'eodhistoricaldata.com' does not appear to be an IPv4 or IPv6 address

However using the synchronous client does not raise any error:

>>> import requests
>>> requests.get("https://eodhistoricaldata.com")
<Response [200]>

Expected Behaviour

• <Response [200]> for both async and sync usage of httpx to call 'https://eodhistoricaldata.com'

Contacted the EOD Historical Data team and they suggested using their http URL (which works on my end)

import asyncio
import httpx

async def get():
  r = await httpx.get("http://nonsecure.eodhistoricaldata.com/")
  print(r)

asyncio.run(get())

Doesn't replicate for me...

>>> import httpx
>>> httpx.get("https://eodhistoricaldata.com")
<Response [200 OK]>
