Interesting finding, the request fails on the hosted server: Trying “wget https://youtu.be/ErLpzD-O6ZY”

One can notice that it uses ipV6 on the hosted server.

Disabling ipv6 on the hosted server solves this error but does not solve the WP issue ??

Digging little bit more in the oEmbed protocol (https://oembed.com/) it seems the request to submit to youtube for the above video is:

https://www.youtube.com/oembed/?url=http%3A//youtu.be/ErLpzD-O6ZY

Which returns the expected file on my hosted server:

It works on my development server at home but not on my hosted virtual machine. When I paste an URL, I can see a progress bar for a while then the url is just pasted as normal text. Server has no firewall rule on the out interface.

Hello,
As far as I ma concerned, I stick to version 2 and OpenLayers2. I did many modifications to the original code (eventpost.php|js) that it would not be easy to test it.
Thanks
