Re: URL posting

[Scott Klement <sk@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The error message means exactly what it says:  HTTPAPI sent a connect 
request to the remote server, and didn't receive a response.

This usually means that there's a firewall blocking your connection.

Sometimes it means that you need to configure a proxy.  (Are you 
specifying a proxy for the other HTTP requests you're doing?)

It could also mean a lot of other things, such as a routing error 
somewhere between your system and the destination system, or that the 
server is down.
