Hello,
i have just downloaded and installed the latest Kiosk image 4.8.
After several times and tries for remote configuration i am facing the problem that the Kiosk does not read the txt file during startup.
When i enter the path into the browser it shows the correct content.

Hello,
i both tries with and without the double quotes.
I have found problems in the dns resolution:
------
nslookup intranet.drkaiser.de
nslookup: can't resolve '(null)'
Name: intranet.drkaiser.de
Address 1: x.x.x.x intranet.drkaiser.de <- this gives the correct ip
------
and as a result also with wget
------
wget --no-check-certificate https://intranet.drkaiser.de/kiosk/prod_R.txt
--2019-01-28 12:10:10-- https://intranet.drkaiser.de/kiosk/prod_R.txt
Resolving 01..... failed: Unknown host.
wget: unable to resolve host address '01..'
------
This phenomenon is new to me, i have never seen thinks like this on linux distros.

Hello,
i have tried, but without success.
In fact the homepage-host is accessible via firefox after the installation, so is the web-path to the config.
Only during startup the config is not accessible / the host is not resolvable.
Do you have any more advise for researching?
Regards.

I also set all hosts to ip and all paths to http:80 but no effect.

Hello,
sorry, a lot of work took me a while to return to the kiosk.
Finally during installation i can access my remote config file.
Poorly on startup after successful install i get the same "not available" error message.
here are the outputs as requested:
root@kiosk:~# nslookup proxy.drkaiser.de
nslookup: can't resolve '(null)' <- Seems to point to a general issue
Name: proxy.drkaiser.de
Address 1: 192.168.xxx.xxx <- OK
--2019-02-08 13:56:39-- http://proxy.drkaiser.de/r-kiosk1.txt
Resolving 01..... failed: Unknown host. <- I would suggest same as above nslookup to nothing
wget: unable to resolve host address '01..'
