- passing a valid address (like 1.2.3.4) which isn't reachable will have a very long timeout (MAAS sends the request but nothing comes back)
- passing an unknown hostname (like "somenonipstring") is (correctly) failing, but hitting https://bugs.launchpad.net/maas/+bug/1922569, which is preventing the error message from being displayed correctly.
There are two different cases here:
- passing a valid address (like 1.2.3.4) which isn't reachable will have a very long timeout (MAAS sends the request but nothing comes back)
- passing an unknown hostname (like "somenonipstring") is (correctly) failing, but hitting https:/ /bugs.launchpad .net/maas/ +bug/1922569, which is preventing the error message from being displayed correctly.
