I have my library served externally via HTTPS, with username/password.
I have my domain name registered, and verified that on any client, my domain name resolves to the proper IP address (i.e. on the same computer XBMC is on, I can open a browser and browse my HTTPS source using my fqdn).

But if I add the source to XBMC like this:

Code:

https://username:[email protected]/Movies

It fails... If I do the exact same thing with the IP address like this:

Code:

https://username:[email protected]/Movies

it works flawlessly.

Again, my fqdn resolves on any client I use, but XBMC doesn't seem to want to use the fqdn.

I've had this happen on Windows, Mac and Android.

Any ideas?

I haven't been able to find an answer to this problem. Going to post some more info in hopes of a bump:

Here's a quick snippet from the log (level 5) of trying to add DNS vs. IP address HTTPS source (I've redacted or edited sensitive data):

Code:
39:37 T:3007280960    INFO: easy_aquire - Created session to https://<MyFQDN.com>

39:42 T:3007280960   DEBUG: CCurlFile::GetMimeType - https://<username>:<password>@<MyFQDN.com> -> failed

39:42 T:3007280960   DEBUG: CurlFile::Open(0xbfe6de04) https://<MyFQDN.com>/TV

39:48 T:2994731840   DEBUG: Suspended the Sink

39:48 T:3007280960 WARNING: FillBuffer: curl failed with code 27

39:48 T:3007280960   ERROR: CCurlFile::CReadState::Open, didn't get any data from stream.

39:48 T:3007280960   ERROR: GetDirectory - Unable to get http directory

39:48 T:3007280960   ERROR: GetDirectory - Error getting https://<username>:<password>@<MyFQDN.com>/TV

Then, here is the exact same source add, replacing my FQDN with my actual, public IP address:

Code:
40:40 T:3007280960    INFO: easy_aquire - Created session to https://<my.ip.add.ress>

40:41 T:3007280960   DEBUG: CCurlFile::GetMimeType - https://<username>:<password>@<my.ip.add.ress>/TV -> x-directory/normal

40:41 T:3007280960   DEBUG: CurlFile::Open(0xbfe6de64) https://<my.ip.add.ress>/TV

Seems like this is the kicker. Not sure what this warning means...

Code:
21:39:48 T:3007280960 WARNING: FillBuffer: curl failed with code 27

From
http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/libcurl-errors.html

Code:
CURLE_OUT_OF_MEMORY (27)

A memory allocation request failed. This is serious badness and things are severely screwed up if this ever occurs.

Also just ran a test running curl from the CLI on Ubuntu. Both fqdn and IP address with fine (with -k to ignore certificate errors) - seems to only be problem with XBMC?
