Sounds like it's trying to resolve '62.243.123.106' as though it's a DNS name. I haven't used HTTPAPI, but I'd guess that there is either a parameter or different procedure that allows connection directly by IP.

No. GEOIP is supposed to take an IP address and tell you where (which city/country) that IP address is located in.

It does that by contacting a web service, passing the 62.243.123.106 to the web service, and getting back a response.

The web service is NOT looked up by IP address (nor should an HTTP URL ever be done by IP address, IMHO! That disables virtual hosting!) Anyway...

Anyway, the reason it's giving you an host name failure is almost certainly because you haven't defined any DNS servers for your system i to use when looking up internet host names. That's not a problem with HTTPAPI -- it's a problem with your system.
