Steps to Reproduce

The application every once in a while (once every two days) throws me a Failed host lookup and cannot send any further request although there is internet connection and the host can be resolved. Most of the time the connection is interrupted and I get the Failed host lookup error then the app continues working as expected after connecting back to the internet. But when I get this issue the dio instance keeps throwing the Failed host lookup error at every subsequent request although connection is available and host can be resolved. By restarting the application I can again send requests as normal.

DioException [connection error]: The connection errored: Failed host lookup: 'qdrive.qutech.tudelft.nl' This indicates an error which most likely cannot be solved by the library.
Error: SocketException: Failed host lookup: '<myhost.com>' (OS Error: No such host is known.
, errno = 11001)
#0   DioMixin.fetch.<anonymous closure> (package:dio/src/dio_mixin.dart:510)
#1   _rootRunUnary (dart:async/zone.dart:1407)
#2   _CustomZone.runUnary (dart:async/zone.dart:1308)
#3   _FutureListener.handleError (dart:async/future_impl.dart:181)
#4   Future._propagateToListeners.handleError (dart:async/future_impl.dart:859)
#5   Future._propagateToListeners (dart:async/future_impl.dart:880)

#7   _SyncCompleter._completeError (dart:async/future_impl.dart:63)

### Expected Result

I would expect that even if it fails to look up the host once,  `Failed host lookup` the coming requests go through when internet connection is back. But that is not always the case. 

### Actual Result

DioException [connection error]: The connection errored: Failed host lookup: '<myhost.com>' This indicates an error which most likely cannot be solved by the library. Error: SocketException: Failed host lookup: '<myhost.com>' (OS Error: No such host is known. , errno = 11001) #0 DioMixin.fetch.

You can verify if the behavior occurred when using package:http or HttpClient, so we can quickly determine which part fails.

Thanks for the reply. How can I verify this?

By writing a minimal example to make requests using them.

I found out it was a problem I my code logic, when there was no connection available. Closing the issue.

@albe-jj what was the error? I'm kinda having a similar problem to this.

I have the same problem, how should I solve it?
