HTTP adapter setup

[jakob_steen-petersen]

Hi,

I need some information on the setup of the http adapter as a sender. i need to call this url (fictive i.p.):

http://123.123.123.123/odupservices/upload

But what is supposed to be in the Target host field and what should be in the Path field?

I have tried to fill in the hole string in the target host field, but it gives me an Error 400 ICM_HTTP_CONNECTION_FAILED

Have anyone tried to use the HTTP adapter?

Hi Jakob,

if you want to analyze the error message deeper you can go into SMICM and look in the trace log.

In general the following applies:

Example: http://www.google.com/gmail

"http://www.google.com" is the domain part(Target host)

/gmail is the path(path field)

80 is the port(443 in case of https)

If you type a host name you have to be sure that the DNSlookup can be made correctly. Alternatively you can type the IP-address instead in the target host.

Hope it helps!

Cheers

Hi,

As you can se here in the trace it seems that the hostname is blank? How is that?:

[Thr 5560] *** WARNING => Connection request from (13/1533/0) to host: http, service: 80 failed (NIEHOST_UNKNOWN)

EX-T13, U1533, 100 XISUPER, 62.199.130.132, 09:58:01, M0, W0, , 1/0 [icxxconn.c 2114]

Have you tried putting in the IP-address?

NIEHOST_UNKNOWN can mean that the DNSlookup doen't work.

Yes same problem!

I have solved the connection problem:

Host: 123.123.123.123 (without http://)

Service number: 80

Path: /odupservices/upload

Now i get the response but the problem is how to handle the response: it´s kind of flat file format. No xml so the mapping dumps!

Any ideas?
