pvesh error: "proxy handler failed: proxy loop detected - aborting"

[speeDDemon_AU]

Hello people and thank you to anyone who reads and responds to this thread. Greatly appreciated.

I have read and followed the instructions in numerous other forum posts regarding pveproxy errors but so far, nothing seems to have resolved my issue.

I was attempting to automate my virtual infrastructure and thus required the use of the API.

This is when I discovered the following error:

$ pvesh get /nodes/node1/qemu
proxy handler failed: proxy loop detected - aborting

However

$pvesh usage /nodes/ssbob/qemu
USAGE: pvesh get /nodes/ssbob/qemu  [OPTIONS]
USAGE: pvesh create /nodes/ssbob/qemu --vmid <integer> [OPTIONS]

works as expected.
Also

$pvesh get /cluster/resources

works as expected.

As I said, I chased my tail in circles trying to resolve this, and would appreciate anyone's help.
Happy to start from the beginning and try whatever is suggested.
Thanks.

maybe a wrongly configured dns or hosts file? we proxy the request to the node in the api path, and a proxy loop is detected if there is more than such redirection

And might you stumble upon this, the hostname is case sensitive!
whereas DNS is not.
