I am trying to use curl on a Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 6.1. When I try to use URL with HTTPS it gives an error message "Couldn't resolve host". But for the same URL when tried with HTTP (http://www.google.lk) response is successful.
[root@localhost /]# curl --proxy-user username:password -L -i https://www.google.lk
curl: (6) Couldn't resolve host 'www.google.lk'
[root@localhost /]#
Can there be anything wrong with my SSL configuration here. Any help is greatly appreciated...

1I don't think that you got any problems with SSL/TSL. Have you tried 'getent hosts www.google.lk' ? Does the site redirect your web browser to another site when you use https compared with http? What dns-servers do you use, do they give the right answers? I do think that you have problems with DNS or generally, name resolvment. Could be that and a combination wit redirect of website to different servers depending on http or https. – Anders – 2012-06-19T11:42:36.567
2Do you have to use a proxy both for HTTP and HTTPS? How are you configuring the proxy? It looks like curl is only using the proxy for HTTP requests... – golimar – 2012-06-19T16:17:36.293
