There is this tool called "nslookup". It will look up an IP address for
you. There is even a website which will lookup an IP address externally
so
you are bewitched by local host tables, etc.

They all return the loopback IP address.
Apparently someone has registered that domain to that IP address.

I was given specs to get an oauth2 token from @auth_server_url=
https://auth.vcap.cc

when i ping that, the ibm i responds from local 127.0.0.1
and same local ip when i run ping from the MS remote server i connect

on.

Using the geturi tool and log shows a http 404 and appears to be

connecting

to my ibm i
I'm stumped and google (ai) thinks vcap is a part of vmware (and some

union

benefit)..

My best guess is the spec sheet is from a developer on another server

and

he gave me how they get the token from their own server? I've asked but

no

answer yet.

Is "vcap.cc" a "local" reference? a VM reference?
