mohd_riyajuddin — Thu, 03 Nov 2016 11:22:02 GMT

Hi,

Trying to make a HTTP call to fetch Google geo code services. Unfortunately ended with error message. "Connect to maps.google.com:80 failed: NIEHOST_UNKNOWN(-2). 404 Host Unknown.

URL Passed: http://maps.google.com/maps/api/geocode/xml?address='Some address'

As part of program steps done.

Step 1. CALL METHOD cl_http_client=>create_by_url.

Step 2. Request and Get

p_http_client->request->set_header_field( name = '~request_method' value = 'GET' ).

p_http_client->request->set_header_field( name = 'Content-Type' value = 'text/xml; charset=utf-8' ).

Step 3. Send

p_http_client->send( ).

Step 4. Receive

CALL METHOD p_http_client->receive.

p_p_content = p_http_client->response->get_cdata( ).

Normally this URL work in web browser.

Regards,

Riyaj

Hello Riyaj,

This is a name resolution (DNS) issue at the SAP server.

You need to involve your operating system and/or network team(s).

Hi,

Try using https. In my application I'm using https://maps.googleapis.com/. and the rest of the URL looks like what you have.

Regards, Gabriel

Hello,

"404 Host not found"?

"404 not found" is an HTTP return code that indicates that the resource that was requested "/maps/api/..." does not exist on that server (thus, implying that the target server received the request and sent that response back).

Can you please add a screenshot from the error you are receiving?

Capturing the issue with the ICM running on level 2 trace and then providing the dev_icm trace file would help as well.

Regards,

It would be wise to ask a local Basis team even before posting on SCN. Such questions can be much faster and more effectively answered locally than on a global website. This is not an ABAP issue, from what I see.
