if_http_client response code 403

[former_member529557]

Hi Experts,

We are using interface if_http_client to check if page "http://www.sap.com/benchmark" is working.

To create an instance we use cl_http_client=>create_by_url ().

Then call lo_http_client->send()

and lo_http_client->receive()

and with lo_http_client->response->get_status() the response code is 403 Forbidden.

The URL is working fine when testing it in the browser.

  cl_http_client=>create_by_url(
      EXPORTING
        url                =  iv_url_str
      IMPORTING
        client             =  lo_http_client
      EXCEPTIONS
        argument_not_found = 1
        plugin_not_active  = 2
        internal_error     = 3
        OTHERS             = 4 ).
    IF sy-subrc <> 0.
      lo_http_client->get_last_error( IMPORTING message = lv_error_message ).
      RETURN.
    ENDIF.


    lo_http_client->send(
            EXPORTING timeout = 60
            EXCEPTIONS
              http_communication_failure = 1
              http_invalid_state         = 2
              http_processing_failed     = 3
              http_invalid_timeout       = 4
              OTHERS                     = 5 ).
    IF sy-subrc <> 0.
      lo_http_client->get_last_error( IMPORTING message = lv_error_message ).

      RETURN.
    ENDIF.

    lo_http_client->receive(
      EXCEPTIONS
        http_communication_failure = 1
        http_invalid_state         = 2
        http_processing_failed     = 3
        OTHERS                     = 4 ).
    IF sy-subrc <> 0.
      lo_http_client->get_last_error( IMPORTING message =  lv_error_message ).

      RETURN.
    ENDIF.

    lo_http_client->response->get_status(
      IMPORTING
        code   = lv_http_response_code
        reason = lv_reason_str ).

    IF lv_http_response_code >= 400.
      lo_http_client->get_last_error( IMPORTING message = lv_error_message ).

      RETURN. 

ENDIF.

You probably missed STRUST. Search the forum.

HTTP?

Use HTTPS.

It is the same issue with URL https://www.sap.com/about/benchmark.html. (And yes we will change this. :-))
