So has anyone had any success in exporting their config with awx cli? I have tried and tried, but keep getting a connection refused message

There was a network error of some kind trying to reach [https://us1rhdevawx01.americantower.com](https://us1rhdevawx01.americantower.com/).  
You might need to specify (or double-check) --conf.host

HTTPSConnectionPool(host=‘[us1rhdevawx01.americantower.com](http://us1rhdevawx01.americantower.com)’, port=443): Max retries exceeded with url: /api/ (Caused by NewConnectionError(‘\<urllib3.connection.HTTPSConnection object at 0x7f97016e7f98\>: Failed to establish a new connection: [Errno 111] Connection refused’,))

Awx tower version is 14.1.0

[root@us1rhdevawx01 installer]# awx --version  
3.7.2

I have been able to use the export utility, are you able to do a wget from the same client and get the API url? [https://us1rhdevawx01.americantower.com:443/api](https://us1rhdevawx01.americantower.com:443/api)
