RE: Outgoing Port

["ian" <ian@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

If the ping below fails, also try to ping the IP address of the host.
This will tell you if there is any TCP/IP getting out & back.

To get the IP address of one of Scott's example hosts, just PING it from
a PC connected to the internet.

If you think you are getting out to the host, check to see if there is a
NATS system between you and the Internet.
I have had a few examples when the NATS system did not re-direct
incoming responses back to the iSeries.

If all else fails, ask the network people to check the logs of each
router from the iSeries out to the Internet.
You should be able to track your call through the system.

   Check to be sure their i5 is properly set up for DNS resolution.  You
   can confirm this by trying to ping the same hosts that Scott uses in
   the example programs.  If it can not resolve the IP on the ping, then
   they do not have the i5 using any DNS which would prevent any
outbound
   connections from it.

   RE: Outgoing Port

   Thanks for the info Scott. I thought it would have to be PORT 80 for
   outbound requests, but I wanted to make sure.
   The IT folks here tell me that they do not have that port blocked
   coming
   from their network, and yet I still cannot get out using any of the
   example
   programs from LIBHTTP.
   I have played with your programs on other systems in the past and I
   know
   they work fine, so now I just have to try to figure out why I cannot
   get to
   the outside world from here.
   If you have any other suggestions on what I might ask their IT people
   or
   other things I could look at (maybe it's a DNS issue?), that would be
   great.
   I do not consider myself a networking guru at all so I kind of
   flounder on
   these types of problems.
   Thanks,
   Shannon O'Donnell

   Yes, port 80 for plain text, and 443 for SSL, in accordance with the
   HTTP
   standard.
   (SOAP uses HTTP for it's networking.  SOAP itself is just the format
   of the
   data that's sent...)
