Httpx AsyncClient Timeout Error

[EWOgthb]

Hi, we had a strange situation with AsyncClient. Here is the deal;
First of all this situation happened at Windows system. So my coworkers who uses Mac didn't get this error.

When I make request directly (not async) it works fine, it's a basic get request so i get response in milliseconds. But when i use AsyncClient it takes too long to get response, we solved this with setting timeout to 30secs but this shouldn't be the solution. Obviously something goes wrong...

I got WSL2 installed btw. Network connection is looks fine, other services work well (more complex requests) and so on...

Here is the error log;

From the ValueError: 'api.codat.io' does not appear to be an IPv4 or IPv6 address error, I'd assume you've got some kind of DNS issue that you're hitting here, perhaps that's only occurring when interacting with your Windows system for some reason.

Does this reproduce reliably for you?
Are you able to observe the same behaviour with both httpx and aiohttp?
