RE: HTTPAPI returns a "Host name look up failed"

[Rich Kitterman <richardkitterman@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

   Hi,
   I tried sending a similar message yesterday, but can't find any trace
   of it - my apologies if this is redundant.  I finally decided to retry
   everything on a platform running a more current version of the OS, so
   I installed the pre-compiled version of EXPAT (v2.0.0) and version
   1.23 of HTTPAPI according to instructions, on an i running V6R1M0, and
   downloaded & created GEOIP to test it with.  I ran GEOIP and got a
   timeout error.  Here's the debug log:
   HTTPAPI Ver 1.23 released 2008-04-24
   OS/400 Ver V6R1M0

   I need a little help understanding why I'm getting the timeout error.
   Possibly related, the other thing that stood out to me is the part I
   bolded and highlighted in red, specifically the indication that the
   character set is UTF-8.  I thought version 2.0.0 of EXPAT would use
   UTF-16 as a default.  What should I do to get this to work?
   Thanks for your help,
   Rich
