James, 

Exact same message when I close the firewall hole on our system. I would say
it is a firewall problem.

My fellow geeks:

Ok, so I've reworked the error handling in our web service client, so 
that if the first (by domain name URL) and second (by dotted-decimal IP 
address) attempts to contact our web service fail, they get repeated 
with the debug flag turned on, and all the error data available to the 
program is shown on a display file page, rather than being spat out in 
RPG DSPLY statements.

We had our first reported failure-to-connect since I made the change, 
and here it is (I'm hand-typing this from a screen shot):

HTTPAPI Ver 1.21 released 2007-10-01

New iconv() objects set, PostRem=819. PostLoc=0. ProtRem=819. ProtLoc=0

In this case, there is no sign that the request ever reached our web 
service, so it's not quite the same as the original problem.

Does this look like a firewall problem? Or something else?
