"Could not connect to the AUR", but cower works fine

[justinnhli]

Since a couple days ago I noticed that pacaur consistently fails to connect the AUR, giving the "Could not connect to the AUR" message. I have looked at #141, #264, and #295, and but none of the causes of those problems apply (curl works fine, and there are no permission issues in /tmp/pacaur-$username). Running cower seems to have no problems, and both cower and pacaur are up to date.

Here's a transcript: http://pastebin.com/NfVpxRct

And here's the debug output of bash -x $(which pacaur) -Sua: http://pastebin.com/tN087yM4

Looking at your debug output, it is indeed cower that can't connect. Check out #451, you might have the very same issue.

You're absolutely right - I had aliased pacaur to pacaur --domain aur4.archlinux.org, and removing that flag solved the problem. Thanks!
