Antoine,

 

This is not a problem with httpapi, its to do with your iSeries connection to the Internet.

 

There could be many reasons.

 

First try the PING (which you say also fails).

Here is mine:

 

PING RMTSYS(WWW.SCOTTKLEMENT.COM)                               
Verifying connection to host system WWW.SCOTTKLEMENT.COM at addre
  206.55.70.27.                                                 
PING reply 1 from 206.55.70.27 took 225 ms. 256 bytes. TTL 233. 
PING reply 2 from 206.55.70.27 took 272 ms. 256 bytes. TTL 233. 
PING reply 3 from 206.55.70.27 took 171 ms. 256 bytes. TTL 233. 
PING reply 4 from 206.55.70.27 took 170 ms. 256 bytes. TTL 233. 
PING reply 5 from 206.55.70.27 took 174 ms. 256 bytes. TTL 233. 
Round-trip (in milliseconds) min/avg/max = 170/202/272          
Connection verification statistics: 5 of 5 successful (100 %).  

 

If this fails, try Scotts IP address (see above)

This is mine:

PING RMTSYS('206.55.70.27')                                       
Verifying connection to host system 206.55.70.27.                 
PING reply 1 from 206.55.70.27 took 400 ms. 256 bytes. TTL 233.   
PING reply 2 from 206.55.70.27 took 175 ms. 256 bytes. TTL 233.   
PING reply 3 from 206.55.70.27 took 171 ms. 256 bytes. TTL 233.   
PING reply 4 from 206.55.70.27 took 173 ms. 256 bytes. TTL 233.   
PING reply 5 from 206.55.70.27 took 172 ms. 256 bytes. TTL 233.   
Round-trip (in milliseconds) min/avg/max = 171/218/400            
Connection verification statistics: 5 of 5 successful (100 %).    

 

If the website address PING fails, but the IP address works, you have a DNS problem.

You can get round that by putting an entry into the host table for Scots website & its IP address. (CFGTCP option 10)

 

If the ping to the IP address fails, it looks like your iSeries is not connecting to the Internet.

Possible reasons are:

No connection at all

Connection goes through a proxy server that is rejecting traffic from the iSeries

No routing entries from the iSeries to your external Internet router. - (check routing entries CFGTCP option 2)

Subject: HTTPAPI is returning an error message

Hi

 

I tried one of your example 15 program from the AS/400 command line and it throws me an saying

"Timeout occurred while trying to connect to server! "

I have increase the TIME wait to 100 seconds, but still the problem persist.

I tried with ping      www.scottklement.com,   it gives me an error message No response from the host.

I am helpless now.  Could you please provide me step by step instruction to understand the problem and overcome the same.

 

Thanks in advance,

 

Regards

Antoine
