From  man curl  this is the error condition you are experiencing.

6      Couldn't resolve host. The given remote host was not resolved.

I found one reference to someone solving this by the following, though
it might have nothing to do with your problem.

Found it... believe it or not but Fedora requires the FQDN
(hostname.domain) in my .repo config file for this to work. CentOS does
not. Go figure.
