I've just tried it. I didn't get an exception, so your problem must be
elsewhere.

I'm hoping this adds to MRAB's reply; it is intended however for the
OP.

Jeeze -- been a while since I've had to deal with Sockets (directly
anyway).
If memory serves correctly, it's where the system can't name resolve
the required address.
So best guess is it's either a temporary glitch, or an issue with your
routing.

'getaddrinfo failed' means that the nameserver can't be found, or that it has no records of that address (I'm 90% sure of that).
