HTTParty get request suddenly timeout exception (CURL still working)

[idev]

Hello all,

I am stuck on a problem which occured recently.
For over a year the following snippet is working like expected:
return HTTParty.get("https://myip.ms/files/blacklist/htaccess/latest_blacklist.txt", format: :plain, headers: {"Accept" => "application/text" })
But recently it stops working, and now I getting a timeout exception.

The URL is reachable (you can test with your browser), and also curl from CLI is working like it should.
So I don't know if I am missing something else?

Thank you for your help.

Looks like a DNS Issue - https://stackoverflow.com/questions/42036133/ruby-netopentimeout-execution-expired/42043142 - for me "require 'resolv-replace'" it fixes my issue.

Are you using a Rails App or just plain Ruby? Having the same issue in an Rails App on Mac OS. But I don't know how to add "require resolv-replace" and where.

Why isn't there any options to connect ipv4 only in HTTParty? Sometimes you haven't control over your local network (which could be a bad configured dual stack or even a shitty dual stack lite) or the remote webserver (also not under your control and from a stupid government) is not answering correctly on IPv6. Just let use force HTTParty to connect to IPv4 only.
