Question

kcat version on Manjaro/KDE:

Curl command from shell:

curl -X "POST" "http://localhost:8080/tasks" -v \
    -H "Idempotency-Key: 9417E83E-313E-468E-AC7C-1BCE0BAF9712" \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -d "{\"name\":\"Read the docs\"}"

This command produces the following errors:

echo "{\"greeting\":\"Hello, world `date`\"}" | \
    kcat -P \
         -b localhost:9092 \
         -t items-responses \

         -H "zilla:correlation-id=1-e75a4e507cc0dc66a28f5a9617392fe8"

client side error (from kcat):

Here is a link to a fully reproducible example:

https://github.com/aklivity/zilla-examples/tree/main/http.kafka.sync

Just follow instructions in README assuming you have docker, curl and kcat-cli installed.

It works fine on macOS

edit: output as requested:

$ kcat -L -b localhost:9092
% ERROR: Failed to acquire metadata: Local: Broker transport failure (Are the brokers reachable? Also try increasing the metadata timeout with -m <timeout>?)
