What could cause “connect ETIMEDOUT” error when the URL is working in browser?

Question

I train myslef with NodeJS and tried a simple GET call. Here is my code:

var http = require(\'http\');

var options = {
    host: \'www.boardgamegeek.com\',
             


        

Answer 1

In my case it was a misconfigured subnet. Only one of the 2 subnets in the ELB worked. But my client kept trying to connect to the misconfigured one.
