Puppet users - Sep 2013 - Not able to capture node info via browser

If I run below command on puppet master. I am able to get output pasted 
here.
But the same information, I am trying to capture via browser using 
http://puppetdb:8080/v2/facts/operatingsystem    but not working
 
 
 
[root@puppetmaster ~]curl -X GET 
http://puppetdb:8080/v2/facts/operatingsystem
curl: (6) Couldn''t resolve host ''puppetdb''
[root@puppetmaster ~]# curl -X GET 
http://localhost:8080/v2/facts/operatingsystem
[ {
  "certname" : "es-w2k8sql2k804.vshimslab.com",
  "name" : "operatingsystem",
  "value" : "windows"
}, {
  "certname" : "infafr00012.nmumarl.lntinfotech.com",
  "name" : "operatingsystem",
  "value" : "CentOS"

  "certname" : "puppetmaster",
  "name" : "operatingsystem",
  "value" : "CentOS"

Well, a browser probably won''t work trying to traverse that URL
anyway, since a browser will send Accept: text/html instead of
application/json, however I''m not quite sure what you are trying to
achieve. In short, this is an API end-point, not for browsers to
traverse.

The clue here is "Couldn''t resolve host
''puppetdb''" ... this is a host
resolution issue occurs everywhere when resolution fails, nothing to
do with PuppetDB specifically. Check your Host entries to make sure
that the entry exists: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hosts_(file)

Here, puppetdb is just an example, I have given the fact is I am able to 
open this URL using localhost & curl command in Linux terminal.
However, same I am expecting to get via browser. I am trying to check 
feasibility of pupet to integrate with third party tool.
Here, we are developing in house automation tool & trying to push &
execute
scripts remotely from puppet master

Okay.

Right but like I said, the API parts don''t work in a browser unless
you are using some form of Javascript/AJAX style access. The API is
designed to be programmatically called via another program or piece of
software. There is a dashboard though which does contain some browser
content for humans to look at, is that what you mean?

Your two statements are not making sense to me, one the one hand you
want to access the API and integrate things from another tool, but on
the other hand you expect browser output. I presume the confusion here
is that you are having connectivity issues generally and that a
''browser'' is just a method of testing that.

Right, and PuppetDB totally supports integration via its various REST
api''s: http://docs.puppetlabs.com/puppetdb/1.4/api/index.html

I see, like mcollective? http://puppetlabs.com/mcollective

So besides your requirements ... did you see my previous point about
your hosts entry? That was the fault that seemed to be occurring for
your second curl, have you been able to remedy this yet? The issue to
me seems to be host resolution, not an issue with PuppetDB per se.
