Description

When a REST data source attempts to access a REST web site, the data source displays an error of the type  HTTPS hostname invalid: expected 'www.redwood.org', received 'redwood.org' 

Resolution

When using a REST data source, you may receive a message of the type:

An IO exception was encountered during invocation of Web service "getData" at endpoint "https://www.redwood.org/api/v2/news/todaysnews.xml?month=january [data-2915049]
Cause: HTTPS hostname invalid: expected 'www.redwood.org', received 'redwood.org'


However, if you copy the same URL i.e.:
https://www.redwood.org/api/v2/news/todaysnews.xml?month=january
into a web browser, the browser accesses the site successfully.

The reason is that TDV carries out more stringent host name checking than a browser does. To resolve the error, set the following configuration setting to true:

Studio -> Administration -> Configuration -> Server -> Configuration -> Network ->  Disable HTTPS Hostname Verification--> Set to true
