SSH connection issue hostname doesn't match hostname

[Orb]

This is a totally strange one.

~/.lightning/config

plugin=/home/ubuntu/c-lightning-REST/plugin.js
rest-port=3001
rest-docport=4001
rest-protocol=https
rest-domain=A.B.C.D

Then after starting lightningd, the contents of certs/certificate.pem and certs/access.macaroon are provided to the requests library. It works with workbench however with a hand built setup it says:

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Same issue with rest-domain=localhost.

Clearly a user error, just not sure where to turn.

Ah. OK so: rest-domain needs to be domain (as the name implies) and not an IP.
