Hello,
I am attempting to access the REST api of a splunk instance through Python and am receiving an IPv6 error in parsing the URL I provided. I have pinged the url and also nslookup it and I cannot retrieve an IPv6 address. The code I am using is straight from the docs:
import splunklib.client as client
service = client.connect(host=url, port=port,
username=username, password=password)
assert isinstance(service, client.Service)
The final error message is:
~\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages\splunklib\binding.py in _spliturl(url)
1069 # Crack the given url into (scheme, host, port, path)
1070 def _spliturl(url):
-> 1071 parsed_url = urllib.parse.urlparse(url)
1072 host = parsed_url.hostname
1073 port = parsed_url.port
~\Anaconda3\lib\urllib\parse.py in urlparse(url, scheme, allow_fragments)
366 (e.g. netloc is a single string) and we don't expand % escapes."""
367 url, scheme, _coerce_result = _coerce_args(url, scheme)
--> 368 splitresult = urlsplit(url, scheme, allow_fragments)
369 scheme, netloc, url, query, fragment = splitresult
370 if scheme in uses_params and ';' in url:
~\Anaconda3\lib\urllib\parse.py in urlsplit(url, scheme, allow_fragments)
438 if (('[' in netloc and ']' not in netloc) or
439 (']' in netloc and '[' not in netloc)):
--> 440 raise ValueError("Invalid IPv6 URL")
441 if allow_fragments and '#' in url:
442 url, fragment = url.split('#', 1)
Please assist, or let me know if IPv4 is not supported with the splunk api for Python.
