got Error: getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND from http request node

[Pierre-André Liné]

Hi,

I send a http request to my server (cloud) and sometimes (about one for ten request), I get "Error: getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND". When I replace in the URL the domain name by the server's IP, it works perfect.

I read in nodejs docs/forums that it could be a IPV4 / IPV6 issue in DNS resolution, and then I should set request's option 'family' to 4, to be sure that it will use IPV4.

I added this option value in a function before the http request node :

```

var newMsg = {

    payload: msg,

    family: 4,

    headers: {

        "Content-type" : "application/json"

    }

};

return newMsg;

```

But same result (ENOTFOUND errors sometimes).

Is there a better way to specify the `family` option of the http request node ?

Is there another explication ?

Thanks.

the other way is to disable ipv6 on your box (if you don't actually need it for anything else)

Hi Dave, thanks for advice. 

I've checked the box and ipV6 is not enabled (no inet6 IP displayed with ifconfig and no ipv6 configuration in box panel app).

So I woold like to find a way to set the 'family' property of the 'option' object of the http request.

Thanks for help.
