RE: http_url_post SetError() #43: CommTCP_read: time-out

[Mike Krebs <mkrebs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

A couple of things strike me.

The actual error that is failing is a time out. You aren't getting a response from the server. The first error might also be a no response. Firewall change?

Maybe the cgi-bin is down? but you said it worked in a browser. That should not be an issue.

http request shows a GET but you are using a POST. Huh?

Dear list members.



I got a suddenly got a problem with httpapi after the same program using it has been

running daily for about 3 years without any need for change or intervention.



I use OANDA.com for getting currency exchange rates and have an account for this at OANDA.com.



No changes in the requesting RPG program.

No changes in LIBHTTP.





The http request is:

(need to hide the client_id, so it’s just *all’x’)



Executing this directly in IE8 works well and returns a xml document with the correct content.



Executing this with httpapi results in (httpapi_debug.txt):

I notice the SetError #43 twice and think there is something happening at the first instance if this. But why?





I am also using httpapi for request the geonames.com and it works without any problems.



Hope for getting some help to explain and remove this error.



Best regards
