I'm trying to login and/or docker pull an image. both are failing with no data coming back from registry-1.docker.io/v2

I have no http proxy. I have restarted the docker daemon.
my dns setting is set to 8.8.8.8 and I can connect to any other sites on the net just fine.

I can telnet to port 443 of the registry and I get no data.

I understand that's an SSL port and doing a standard HTTP get isn't going to work, but I would expect some data.

Per the spec, hitting registry-1.docker.io/v2 will always return a 401 response with headers indicating how to obtain an authorization token. It will redirect you to auth.docker.io/token in order to retrieve the token. See this blog post

Do you get a 401 response on these endpoints?

[hemna]

No, I'm not getting a 401 response. I'm literally getting nothing as a response. See the verbose curl output below.

hitting the endpoint with curl I get this.

🤔 I'm unable to replicate this on any other system. Is this on any sort of VPN or work network, firewall, etc, ( I know you said no proxy, just trying to get the full picture)
