HTTP [GET] and [POST] - "getaddrinfo failed!" error when hosted on linux webserver

[kivabolt]

Operating system or device - Godot version:
Running with Godot v2.1.3.stable.official

Issue description:
I'm playing around with simple GET and POST requests based off this tutorial:(http://docs.godotengine.org/en/stable/learning/features/networking/http_client_class.html)

Function 1: GET
On load, I have it connect to a site to make the GET request and it should return the user info (kivabolt) - [http://meehak.com/squared.php]

Function 2: POST
The second function I have is to POST to a different PHP page with a user's input and two hardcoded variables - [http://meehak.com/uploadUserResult.php]
--> to test the POST, i created a different page for manually submitting results (uploadUser.php)[http://meehak.com/uploadUser.php]

So when I test the project locally or export the project to a windows / desktop executable, the http requests (GET & POST) execute and have no issues connecting to the URL.

Problem #1 : When I upload the exported HTML5 project and host it on a server, I keep getting the error below:
ERROR: At: drivers/unix/ip_unix.cpp:106:_resolve_hostname() - getaddrinfo failed!

Has anyone else ran into this problem? I'm stuck and have no idea what to try next.
I'm hosted via HostGator, no SSL (though I have tried it with an SSL site and hit the same issue)

Networking does not work for HTML export (at least in 2.1 branch).
I found the reason for the getaddrinfo failed error, we must specifically unset AI_NUMERICHOST which seems to be on by default, see their code for reference .

Sadly the subsequent socket creation fails anyway (should be converted to websockets by emscripten for what I understand, but it fails when calling ioctl somewhere, apparently when setting FIONBIO but I'm still unable to properly pinpoint where).

I'm still working on it, but in case I end up not having enough time at least we have this comment for reference.

EDIT: I did the tests on 2.1 branch, I'll check the status in 3.0 too

[Faless]

As a followup. in 3.0 when exporting using webassembly the tcp sockets gets converted as expected to websockets connections with Sec-WebSocket-Protocolheader as binary (so it should work, I'm still trying to find a server that supports Sec-WebSocket-Protocol).

In this case though for HTTPClient to work, we would want to implement it as an XMLHttpRequest I guess,

closing since, according to #14888 this is working in a master branch
