QSHCURL Fails

[mattlavinder]

I get the following output when using QSHCURL

curl: (6) getaddrinfo() thread failed to start

Command ran was:

QSHCURL CMDLINE('https://api.ipify.org') DSPSTDOUT(*YES)

Running IBM i 7.4.
Output of curl --version is

curl 8.12.0 (powerpc-ibm-os400) libcurl/8.12.0 OpenSSL/3.0.16 zlib/1.3 brotli/1.0.9 libidn2/2.3.0 libssh2/1.11.1

If I wrap cURL call in a script and run it this way, it works:

QSH CMD('/QOpenSys/usr/bin/sh -c "~/curl.sh > curl.out"')

Interesting. I just ran this CL command from a 5250 session and it just worked and returned the IP address. I'm running V7R5 but that shouldn't really matter I would think.

Same version of curl.

I worked with the OP on this and it looks like what he's experiencing is an artifact of some mods to the subsystem. He/we are working on this, it's not a QshOni bug.

@jwoehr when you learn what the issue was please post here for posterity. I know max active jobs on things like QBATCH can be problematic because max active jobs are often limited to 1 job. I usually use QUSRNOMAX for multithreaded jobs unless they need to be single threaded through job queue.

Bien sûr, mon ami!
