Problem description

termux-wallpaper -u option with a valid URL to a jpg, gives "Unknown host" error

$ termux-wallpaper -u <URL>

Unknown host!

Still a problem? It works for me. Maybe supply the url too

[mayureshw]

It is an http:// URL. Would that matter. I tried some https:// URLs and those are working.

http urls never accepted. It's not secure. If you're the host of that url's domain/subdomain apply ssl/tls certificates

If it's helpful please close this issue

http vs https is a separate topic. How would that matter to a tool that just needs to download a file from a given URL? For example, wget, curl still download fine from http URLs.

HTTP issue is related to API changes described in Android 9. Details explained in Google blog: https://android-developers.googleblog.com/2018/04/protecting-users-with-tls-by-default-in.html

Yes

Because some times that tool needs to verify the url safe/not according Android sdks & older sdks doesn't have this feature

Alternative is, your can download that image from other tools like lftp and fetch it

If it's useful please close this issue as completed
