Not really enough info.
What node is creating the error and what url are you using?
Have you tried the url in a browser addres bar?
What statusCode is being returned? use a debug nodeset to complete message object to get more data
This normally means the server you are trying to connect to is down, or you have not specified the correct url or port

That would suggest you have some connection issue.
Does the device you are using have connection to the internet?
Are you using a virtual machine, i.e docker? have you configured it for internet access.

Very likely is then.
do you have proxy details? is it a http proxy? try adding `https_proxy` and `no_proxy` env vars to the container to permit proxied calls.
Alternatively, add proxy details to the http request
