Harbater, Hartmann and Krashen obtained in 2015 a criterion for the existence of rational points on projective (or principal) homogeneous varieties for rational connected algebraic groups defined over function fields of normal curves over a complete discrete valuation ring in terms of completions of local rings at special points. This was obtained by a reduction via Artin approximation to a related patching problem solved by the same authors in 2009. In the special case of projective quadrics, we present a more elementary reduction in the non-dyadic case. The proof is strongly inspired by the proof of a more Hasse-like local-global principle due to Colliot-Thélène, Parimala and Suresh, and we present a variant of their proof based on the mentioned criterion.
