Hi Nikhilesh,

check this out. The correct code should look like this:

DATA: http_client TYPE REF TO if_http_client .

call method cl_http_client=>create

exporting

host = 'www.google.com'

service = '443'

scheme = '2'

importing

client = http_client.

Regards, Michael

Hi Michael,

Thanks for the reply.

I have tried the given solution by replacing CALL METHOD cl_http_client=>create_by_url with

call method cl_http_client=>create

exporting

host = 'www.google.com'

service = '443'

scheme = '2'

importing

client = http_client.

But still I am getting same error "http_communication_failure"

CALL METHOD http_client->receive

EXCEPTIONS

http_communication_failure = 1

http_invalid_state = 2

http_processing_failed = 3.

Please suggest.

Thanks

Hi Nikhilesh,

ok, maybe it will work, if check out the following:

Wouter Venhuizen describes a solution for this problem right here. Try to follow his instructions step by step.

When you still getting the error-message "http_communication_failure", try to set up the HTTP(S) destination in SM59 and test it from there. After that, you can try to create your http_client with the method CREATE_BY_DESTINATION.

Good luck!!

Michael
