The following tool has been running without problem for years:
https://tools.wmflabs.org/citation-template-filling/cgi-bin/index.cgi
<https://tools.wmflabs.org/citation-template-filling/cgi-bin/index.cgi>
Recently the tool has started generating the following error message:
Can't call method "findnodes" on an undefined value at
/data/project/citation-template-filling/perl/ActivePerl-5.26/site/lib/WWW/Search/PubMedLite.pm
line 117.
PubMedLite.pm in turn makes a request to
“'https://eutils.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/efetch.fcgi
<https://eutils.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/efetch.fcgi>” for data. For
debugging, I queried the entrez server using an equivalent command in curl which generated
the following error messages:
curl
'https://eutils.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/efetch.fcgi?db=pubmed&id=12345&retmode=xml
<https://eutils.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/efetch.fcgi?db=pubmed&id=12345&retmode=xml>'
curl: (6) Could not resolve host:
eutils.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
<http://eutils.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/>
I also tried replacing “eutils.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov <http://eutils.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/>”
with its IP address:
curl 'https://130.14.29.110/entrez/eutils/efetch.fcgi?db=pubmed&id=12345
<https://130.14.29.110/entrez/eutils/efetch.fcgi?db=pubmed&id=12345>'
curl: (51) SSL: no alternative certificate subject name matches target host name
'130.14.29.110'
The same curl command runs without problem on my local workstation:
curl
'https://eutils.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/efetch.fcgi?db=pubmed&id=12345&retmode=xml
<https://eutils.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/efetch.fcgi?db=pubmed&id=12345&retmode=xml>’

Anyone have an idea how to fix this? Thanks,
