RE: HTTPAPI returns a "Host name look up failed"
Hi Doug, Thomas, and Scott,
I will give [1]http://www.oorsprong.org a shot going forward, and
thank you for the tip.
I backtracked a bit after installing everything on V6R1 platform, and
discovered that the source code for GEOIP was missing a couple of
statements right where the cml envelope is being built. Something I
had missed during a copy/paste. The program compiled, but the xml
string being sent was incorrect, which ended up causing me to get the
errors I did. After correcting the problem, GEOIP runs perfectly.
I appreciate everyone's help, and will very likely be asking for more
as I develop my app & run into the occasional problem...
Thanks!
Rich

web browser... if it won't work in Internet Explorer, Firefox, Opera,
etc then chances are real good that it won't work on the iSeries
either.

> 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:

> 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?
