Http communication failure

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I am trying to fetch a response from an url(Website url which will writen a XML response) But instead of getting the response i am getting "Http Communication Failure" exception

Intresting thing is same piece of code is returning xml data in the other server.

Now my question is this issue related to fire wall or any other configuration required in the server level

Please guide me

Hello,

If you use a proxy to connect to the internet, then maintain those settings in transaction SICF

For higher version servers, SICF -> Execute -> Client -> Proxy settings

For 4.7 Systems, SICF -> Goto -> HTTP Client proxy

Thank you for the reply

In sicf transaction it will ask for host and port, but website url which i am trying to connect is some thing like this -

ex: http://adc.xyz.com/response/

so how i can give the host and port in sicf.

SICF determines how the server connects to the internet

You need to put the same settings as present in Internet Explorer

Tools -> Internet Options -> Connections -> LAN Settings

If you can get OS access, then check if the application server can access the internet using IE

If as an above poster has said its an authorization issue, then you can check the last authorization in tcode SU53

I have tried in sicf with company proxy name and port but still the same issue and i have opened su53 but i didnt get what to do over there.

Which user name and password i have to give in SICF(related to proxy server?)

Hello,

If you require a username and password to access the Internet via the proxy, then enter those credentials, else leave it blank

Run SU53 immediately after you get the error, if it shows "The last authorization check was successful" it implies that there are no authorization values

If anything else shows, then that's the error

hi,you can try to Check with the port defined for the proxy or

is there any authorization issue.or you can increase rfc time.

thanks.
