AWS - Error - The remote name could not be resolved: 's3.amazonaws.com'

Question

I am using OpenTok to record and generate video, it does it successfully. Creating archive also. But then while downloading that video from the Amazon it gives me below error message. I have also captured the stack trace.

Error In: The remote name could not be resolved: 's3.amazonaws.com' body {font-family:"Verdana";font-weight:normal;font-size: .7em;color:black;} p {font-family:"Verdana";font-weight:normal;color:black;margin-top: -5px} b {font-family:"Verdana";font-weight:bold;color:black;margin-top: -5px} H1 { font-family:"Verdana";font-weight:normal;font-size:18pt;color:red } H2 { font-family:"Verdana";font-weight:normal;font-size:14pt;color:maroon } pre {font-family:"Consolas","Lucida Console",Monospace;font-size:11pt;margin:0;padding:0.5em;line-height:14pt} .marker {font-weight: bold; color: black;text-decoration: none;} .version {color: gray;} .error {margin-bottom: 10px;} .expandable { text-decoration:underline; font-weight:bold; color:navy; cursor:hand; } @media screen and (max-width: 639px) { pre { width: 440px; overflow: auto; white-space: pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word; } } @media screen and (max-width: 479px) { pre { width: 280px; } }

I am trying to download my testing Video on below URL :

https://s3.amazonaws.com/tokbox.com.production/12415002/fd5be7ac-0b63-4daa-8430-4fe2e0aefde7/dcbce387-ca13-4b6a-9b04-1b4074dc0042.flv?Signature=gXECOvWqjJKJTBXFEwU4usutV9k%3D&Expires=1374818871&AWSAccessKeyId=AKIAI6LQCPIXYVWCQV6Q

Below is the function which downloads the Video :

 private Stream getContent(string url)
    {
        //string buffer;

        WebRequest request = WebRequest.Create(url);
        request.Credentials = CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;
        WebResponse response = request.GetResponse();
        Stream stream = response.GetResponseStream();
        //StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(stream);
        //buffer = reader.ReadToEnd();
        //stream.Dispose();
        //reader.Dispose();
        //return (buffer);
        return stream;
    }

Anyone has idea on this?

Thank you.

This error means that the server you are running on does not have access to the s3.amazonaws.com host. Try the suggestions in this answer: https://stackoverflow.com/a/16630653/305340
