Hi Klaus

It's probably something blocking it somewhere. Windows has so many layers of 
security stuff. 

A couple of suggestions.
1. is it happening for all URLs?

2. from the AOLserver box, can you connect to the URL via a telnet session? E.g 
telnet
open aolserver.com 80
GET / 

3. In the OpenACS Developer shell, try connecting using ns_sockopen $host $port

4. ns_httpget isn't too complicated, so you could try debugging it, or running 
some of its commands manually. You'll find the source in a file called 
modules/tcl/http.tcl in your AOLserer installation.

5. Some good advice here on Windows issues

cheers!

Subject: [AOLSERVER] ns_httpget results in "Timeout writing to socket"

Hi all,
one of our users experiences the following issue with
AOLServer 4.5 on "Windows Server Standard Edition 2012":

        ns_httpget [URL]

results in

         "Timeout writing to socket"

Some facts:

a) Setting ns_httpget's "timeout" does not change anything.

b) Http-Request made using the browser to the same URL work fine.

c) Box has two NIC's:
NIC 1: WAN (working IP, correct gateway,  ns config to 8.8.8.8 - Google 
DNS)
NIC 2: LAN   (working internal IP, - no gateway,  ns config pointing to 
127.0.0.1 )

d) Firewall had been turned off (fully), ICS had been disabled.
It had been made sure that all services are allowed to access the internet.

Any ideas what else we should check? Thanks for your help!
Klaus
