curl returns a 200 instantly

`
$ curl -I -u warby-mgmt:warby-mgmt-password http://localhost:15672/api/queues/%2F/cep.transactional_email
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Server: MochiWeb/1.1 WebMachine/1.10.0 (never breaks eye contact)
Content-Type: application/json
Content-Length: 1537
Cache-Control: no-cache

`

When I attempt to use the uri module it times out.

Any ideas why curl works and uri fails?

Hmm, I can’t.

Perhaps usage of something like Charles Proxy (or other free methods) could be used to see whether the network activity was the same.

Not sure, but a few things I noticed/might try:

* Looks like you're doing a GET with curl and a PUT with uri.

* The error you're getting "Socket error: timed out" sounds like it's
unable to even connect to the port, like the port is closed or something.
We know it's not though, so maybe try changing 'localhost' to an ip-address
the box has to try another route to the listening port....
