XF 2.1 LibCurl Errors?

[Serpius]

I was testing the Test URL Unfurling and got this error as shown in the screenshot.

So, I took this issue to the website hosting (a2Hosting) and this is what their response to the issue is.

Thank you for sharing the information.

We are able to replicate the issue.

jplaku@az1-ss18 [~]# curl -v https://xenforo.com

• About to connect() to xenforo.com port 443 (#0)
• Trying 104.20.87.95...
• Connected to xenforo.com (104.20.87.95) port 443 (#0)
• Initializing NSS with certpath: sql:/etc/pki/nssdb
• CAfile: /etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt

CApath: none

• Operation timed out after 300180 milliseconds with 0 out of 0 bytes received
• Closing connection 0 curl: (28) Operation timed out after 300180 milliseconds with 0 out of 0 bytes received

The connection is successful but the destination is failing to send even after 300180 ms.

Is it possible for you to verify with Xenforo what they are seeing in the request from our server 68.66.224.38?

End****

Can someone from Xenforo administration look into this and answer their (a2hosting) support question?

Thanks

Does anyone have any clues as to why this continues to be an issue on my website?

I have tested unfurling https://xenforo.com/ on multiple sites and it works without issue.

Just checking with the dev's now to confirm whether there are any issues with the XF server.
Are you or your host able to unfurl other (XF) sites successfully?

@Brogan

I just now tested the Test Unfurling on 3 sites: USA Today, eBay, and Xenforo and all 3 sites have come back with no issues.
(https://usatoday.com, https://ebay.com, and https://xenforo.com, respectively)

I can't explain why Xenforo was giving me issues previously. I will continue to monitor this.

Most likely it was just a transient server issue.

We did have some weird DNS issues over the weekend so that could account for it.
