while even curl works. one of them is: https://www.theregister.com/

iex(9)> HTTPoison.get("https://www.theregister.com/")
{:error, %HTTPoison.Error{id: nil, reason: :timeout}}

If I use hackney directly, I got:

:hackney.request("https://www.theregister.com/")                                    
{:ok, 103,
 [
   {"Link",

 ], #Reference<0.4185236498.3412066306.154891>}

I think there is some shenanigan in http protocol handling. I know this site is backed by cloudflare. How do I debug further? For example, Can I force a particular HTTP version on HTTPosion?

From the first page in the docs :wink:

:hackney_trace.enable(:max, :io)

Thanks. It shows more information but then again, it failed the same way. I think the 103 response confused hackney. From a trace of curl, there are 2 responses. First is 103, next one is 200. My theory is hackney somehow drop the 200 response and hence the failure.

I will file a bug against hackney. hackney should ignore all 1XX responses.
