Command line client can't connect to Vault on different port

[alansingfield]

Hello,

I am trying to use the command-line client, but it is failing to connect.

The cmd line I am using is:

vault -host myserver:8080/vaultservice -user admin -password *** -repository Fred8080:1 checkout $/whatever.cs

The error returned is:

<vault>
<error>
The connection to the server failed: server cannot be contacted or uses a protocol that is not supported by this client. Unable to
connect to http://myserver:80/VaultService. No server was found at the specified URL. Please verify your network settings using
the Options dialog under the Tools menu in the Vault GUI Client. Web Exception: The request failed with HTTP status 404: Not Fou
nd.
</error>
<exception>

</exception>
<result success="no" />
</vault>

Notice how I am passing in port 8080, but the error message says it can't connect to port 80. I guess that the command-line parsing is getting confused when trying to pick out the url.

Any thoughts on how to fix this?

What version of Vault are you using?

[alansingfield]

Version 3.5.0.

Thanks for the quick response!

I've found the solution - just needed to remove the /VaultService from the url.

Command line now reads:

vault -host myserver:8080 -user admin -password ***** -repository "default repository" checkout $/whatever.cs

and it works!!
