Basic auth on db_follow fails with Error: getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND

[hdattada]

I am trying to use basic auth for following db_updates. Everytime I see this error:

{ [Error: getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND] code: 'ENOTFOUND', errno: 'ENOTFOUND', syscall: 'getaddrinfo' }

Couch DB version: 1.6.1
follow version: 0.12.1

Basic Auth URL: http://username:password@localhost:5984/_db_updates
