Hello,

I am getting the following error while executing my test prog.

 getaddrinfo(3) failed for tikona2.techmahindra.com:80
* Couldn't resolve host 'tikona2.techmahindra.com'
* Closing connection #0
* couldn't resolve host name
Response = 6

Please help and it's very urgent.

Thanks in advance

Regards,
Vamshi.
