Web server connection mostly times out - except when I step though the API with debug.

[Colin Grierson <Colin.Grierson@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

   Hi, I've got a strange problem that feels a bit like a pointer or
   parameter length error - though it may also be the remote server at
   fault.


   I'm using http_url_post_xml to send a SOAP request to a fixed URL
   (https)

   -          This always works, returning a session id and session URL

   I use http_url_post_xml to send a SOAP request to the session URL
   (https again)

   -          This almost always times out - unless I step through the API
   in debug, in which case it mostly works


   We have asked the company we are connecting to to look at their logs to
   see what they can see (still waiting for a reply...) However this sort
   of problem can be caused by pointer or parameter length issues and I'm
   wondering if the fault is on my side. Does this ring any bells with
   anyone?


   I have recently

   The code follows example 16


   // Call web service. Built in parse calls procedure 'Incoming',

   // which returns a structure with data proviced by the web service

   clear RtnData;

   #rc = http_url_post_xml(#Url

                     : %addr(#Soap) + 2

                     : %len(#Soap)

                     : *NULL

                     : %paddr(Incoming)

                     : %addr(RtnData)

                     : HTTP_TIMEOUT

                     : HTTP_USERAGENT

                     : 'text/xml'

                     : 'create');



   Thanks for your help
