[chef] Re: Querying a Chef server through it's API

["Julian C. Dunn" < >]

Couple things:

* You don't have a colon after 'http'
* If you're running Chef Server 12 or connecting to Hosted Enterprise
Chef, the chef_server_url is going to be something like
https://your-chef-server/organizations/yourorg -- there is no endpoint
'/nodes' at the root of the system.
