[U2] callHTTP creating Header for Host,
Greetings I am working on an issue with UniData but I suspect it possibly affects both flavors. I am making a callHTTP GET request to a server that has virtual hosts. Basically, one server on a single IP address has multiple named web sites. On UniData 7.3.0 Personal Edition on Windows I tested my code and it works fine. On UniData 7.2.10 on Windows it came up with the default web site (same as if I just use the IP address instead of the FQDN) instead of mine that was named in the URL. I suspected the Host header that is required to be sent for HTTP/1.1 protocol might be missing on UniData 7.2. So, I added this line to the code to set the header: CMD.STATUS = setRequestHeader(RHANDLE,Host,HOST.AND.PORT) And voila! On 7.2 it started working properly! But it broke 7.3! On 7.3 it brings up the default web site if I explicitly set that header. Is this a known bug/issue? Is there something I should do to work around it now so that a UniData upgrade won't bite me? I've thought about reverting to the old socket interface but I'd like to use callHTTP if it is stable since it is so convenient.

Re: [U2] callHTTP creating Header (Karl-Heinz Winter)
I found the solution by myself! The problem could be, that the functions 'setRequestHeader' und addRequestParameter' are formatting the data in any way, that the webserver doesn`t understand the request. When I logged the outgoing traffic to port 80, I have seen valuemarks in the header information. On Pickwiki there is a good example of calling a web service: http://www.pickwiki.com/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?CallHTTP. The second example shows how to do a request with OPENSOCKET, WRITESOCKET and READSOCKET. These classes are posting the data without any change. I tried it and the webserver response ist OK!

Karl - your original request said: How can I create the correct header? My mental response was stop bothering with CallHTTP and use cURL. I refrained from posting that because of the inevitable retribution from people who prefer to bang their heads against flaky software rather than just looking outside of the box for a real solution.

Well, that's my opinion anyway - use the right tools for the job, and all that... Viel Erfolg!

Re: [U2] callHTTP creating Header
Hello Karl-Heinz, It could be that the issue is not with UniVerse, rather at the web server end. If you can share the source code with us which you are using to build up the request this may help us to trace the problem. Also, are you running UniVerse or UniData and on which OS? I would suggest turning on protocol logging which should help in locating the cause of the problem. To do this use the protocolLogging() function which requires three parameters 1. The name of the file to which you want to save the logs. 2. ON 3. 10 (level 10 should give you enough info to help you with debugging). The function returns true or false depending on whether or not logging has started successfully. Other than that, try searching the mailing list. I would bet that you are not the only one who has had this problem. Otherwise check the BASIC Extensions documentation at the Rocket website.

Actually TIME_WAIT is normal - when you close a connection, it goes to timewait for a set amount of time and then is closed, this stops any delayed packets being accepted by a later connection.

Yeah, I know it's normal, but when we get a couple hundred of these out here we usually get a comparable number of httpd children and the server just stops accepting new connections. We have only one Unidata instance sending these things so there shouldn't be any reason why the Apache server would stop allowing connections if each one gets disconnected in a timely manner. ___ U2-Users mailing list U2-Users@listserver.u2ug.org http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users

RE: [U2] CallHTTP vs cURL...
David, buried in my point was that you may be able to get other phantoms to be more effective, thus reducing your requirement for phantoms for other tasks. So with luck, when you do need a new one for CallHTTP your total phantom usage won't be any more than it is now. Like anything, especially in this economy, eliminate existing waste before attempting to avoid new expenses. But be careful about making your existing ports more effective. In it's strictest technical sense IBM licensing would prohibit even these sorts of optimizations - have your lawyers do lunch with their lawyers...

The issue isn't the 'method' used to execute CallHTTP - it's the CallHTTP wanting to grab a seat that is the issue. Thanks!

RE: [U2] CallHTTP vs cURL...
If only 5-6 times a day, why not just kill logoff the existing phantom, immediately after spawning a replacement immediately after the CallHTTP -- I assume new process would initialize what it needs to, and start over, so you would have an iPhantom issue for a second or 2 at most. The other more interesting grab for money is the question of What constitutes a connection pool, as IBM have been chasing this chestnut here in Australia recently. Situations we haven't received an un-ambiguous answer for to date include polling files deposited by, say, an external POS register, inter-acting with time clocks or even processing emails attachments.

RE: [U2] CallHTTP vs cURL...
Responding in general to a few notes here. [AD] follows code and comments. As to phantom operations, I find it surprising that most sites don't use a plugin process, where you have a single phantom that loops to process any tasks that are required. It's like a checkout person at the store, the same person will ring up whatever you bring to the counter, you don't have one person to ring up milk, another one for butter... You provide the required operations through a polled file. For example: LOOP NOTASKS=0 SELECT TASKS LOOP READNEXT TASKID ELSE NOTASKS=1 UNTIL NOTASKS DO READ TASK FROM TASKS,TASKID THEN BEGIN CASE CASE TASK1=CALL WEB SERVICE CALL WEBSERVICE.CLIENT(TASK) CASE TASK1=SYNC OUTLOOK WITH CUSTFILE CALL SYNC.OUTLOOK(TASK) CASE TASK1=RUN DAY END REPORTS CALL DAY.END(TASK) CALL TASK1=RESET PHANTOM DONE=1 CASE 1 CALL INVALID.PHANTOM.REQUEST(TASK) END CASE END ELSE NULL REPEAT * Refresh phantoms every 10 hours IF TIME() START.TIME+600 THEN DONE=1 UNTIL DONE DO REPEAT EXECUTE START.NEW.PHANTOM ; * kick off a replacement END Each of those subroutines can process in-line if they are guaranteed to be short-lived, or they can kick off other phantoms to handle more lengthy tasks or certain categories of tasks (as with checkout people at a department store who ring up clothes, tools, etc). The idea here is that you may not need to start a license-consuming phantom to do every task Now, but by deferring the task for a few seconds you can do a lot with just one process. Each process is also responsible for removing the task from the queue. If that's not done some other process will get it. If you have more than one of these processes running to get the same category of tasks, you'll need to ensure there are no contentions and that tasks aren't dropped. That whole process could be simplified with something like this: PROG=TASK1 CALL @PROG(TASK) That opens many possibilities but isn't perfect for all situations either. For the [AD]: Many people want to call external web pages or web services, and turn to tools like CallHTTP and cURL. I use cURL a lot myself, but if you need to create structured requests or parse the responses then you have a lot of work to do, particularly with XML. Most people don't know that mv.NET can be used to call a web service remote from MV, and return results with no protocol-related formatting whatsoever. You just write an item to a file and read back the results. I won't get into another technical HowTo here but this solution does consume a U2 license and may not be suitable for all applications. If you already have mv.NET then you can call a web service from BASIC very easily at no extra cost. If you don't have mv.NET, let me know. For people wondering why should I buy a tool when I have free tools in U2, just think about how many tools you use to solve different problems. Then think about how many times you've seen me say you can do that with mv.NET. It's one tool, in many ways better than the free tools - isn't that better than going through the learning curve for a new tool every time you want to do something different? People also think anything other than free is expensive. mv.NET licenses are only a few hundred dollars - much less than the cost of developing almost any of these free solutions on your own.

[U2] CallHTTP vs cURL...
I have a phantom that does a CallHTTP to 'call back' to our RedBack server to run a Java Method that returns some data.

RE: [U2] CallHTTP vs cURL...
I utilize cURL for shipping tracking updates, among other automated tasks, that run bi-hourly. Since the data is not critical, I don't perform any connectivity or results checking. If you do decide to shell a cURL process, make sure that you verify the response is well-formed. You will need to implement the timeout switch too. Your better off putting raw data into a wrapper of some kind so that you can verify the start/end of the transaction(formation checking). I've seen cURL dump only the first 2-3 lines of an entire XML document back to me without complaining about connection errors. Timeout handling should also be done, so if your current CallHTTP code doesn't do all of that then you have some design work to do.

Like Glen, we also use cURL for shipping rates and address validation with UPS and Fedex web services. We haven't had issues with missing data, but have with timeouts. If you don't tell cURL to time out, it will wait for a response for a very lng time. Very bad when the whole order desk is hung due to UPS or Fedex having a problem with their site. We learned that one the hard way. This is what we execute now: EXECUTE 'SH -c curl --connect-timeout 10 --max-time 10 -d @/tmp/':REQ.ID:' -k ':URL:'', OUT XML.TXT The XML request is written to a sequential temp file, then deleted after the execute.

RE: [U2] CallHTTP vs cURL...
I have used EXECUTE !curl ... in a number of apps and it definitely does not take an iphantom licence. However i use it not to get round licencing (as this is usually from a uniobjects call anyway) but because for some reason curl is many times more efficient than callhttp. I presume the udt process has to load some library to run the callhttp, whereas the execute is just the normal *nix process spawn overhead. Anyway we did it as we had occurrences of the callhttp taking say 6 or 7 hundred milliseconds but the execute curl took 2 or 3 hundred and in a very heavily used web service (between 5 and 50 calls per second) this adds up to quite a difference. --- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/

RE: [U2] callHTTP using a Proxy Server
I used ISA and have had very little issue. I am not sure based on this email what OS level or version of ISA is running. There is also no indication of how this server is published. Is the client in the network that has ISA and trying to hit a server exposed to the web or the other way around. What are the details of the ISA rule. I am also not that familiar with SB+ I am unclear on its authentication methods but if it requires network access then you may need to have the request come from the ISA server as opposed to from the original client.

RE: [U2] callHTTP
Stu, I forgot to mention what you might expect back in the response and headers fields. The response will contain whatever the web service you are posting to/requesting from is programmed to respond with. In the case of a web service, for example, it will probably return an XML document. In the case of a web site it may return whatever exists at that URL eg html or possibly a zip or doc file for example. If you get something like this in your response, the http Headers should contain the mime type and other info about the document. Generally, it will then be up to you to handle and process the file with whichever tools you determine are appropriate. Generally I think most web protocols will do some form of ascii encoding (b64/uucp/etc) to ensure that the file is web safe. If you receive the file in this way then you have to uncompress/uuucp/b64 it. Otherwise, if the file is potentially binary then you need to handle it more delicately with UV as writes, for example, can munge the file. Also, the potential size of a file could be an issue.

RE: [U2] CallHTTP
Peter, Here are a couple of local subroutines I use for synchronizing records to other servers using a CGI post. The corresponding CGI program on the hosts generates a return value structured like... SG: NUMBER.OF.ERRORS: SG: ERROR.MESSAGES Where SG is EQUATEd to CHAR(255), ERROR.MESSAGES is an attribute-delimited array of error messages and NUMBER.OF.ERRORS = DCOUNT(ERROR.MESSAGES, @AM).

RE: [U2] CallHTTP
If CallHTTP doesn't do what you need, look into cURL. It's open source and free, well supported, very stable, very popular, and it's quite capable of doing HTTP post w/wo SSL as well as many other tricks.

[U2] CallHTTP
Is anyone aware of any limitations to the length of parameter_value in the addRequestParameter(request_handle,parameter_name,parameter_value,conten t_handling) function. We are trying to sent XML data to a web service, and the longer parameter_value gets I get the following error message: CRITICAL ERROR! Notify the system administrator. Abnormal termination of UniVerse. Fault type is 11. Layer type is BASIC run machine. Fault occurred in BASIC program WS.TESTER at address 3ba.

That may not be related to CallHTTP, that may be a variable in your program that has not been cleared and is continually being appended to till it overflows memory.

Segmentation Fault(coredump) Are you doing a GET or a POST? There is a limit on GET, but it comes from the HTTP specification, not UniVerse. (And exceeding it is no excuse for it dying like that!) I was waiting to see a post along these lines. You're right that there's no excuse for it dying like that, but I actually don't think there is a defined limit for a GET or query string. Here are some related factors. Some or none may be relevant here, but it's good to consider these things: - The length of the query string in total is generally agreed to limit at 1024 bytes, but I don't think that's a part of the spec. - There are occasionally limits on the size of the domain name, which is included in the total for the query string. - There may be no defined client side limit, but some browsers do limit their upload byte count, and that changes with releases. - Some web servers and browsers have a specific limit on the total amount of data submitted in the header parameters for any given form, whether GET or POST. This may be release-dependent. For example, (from (bad) memory) IIS4 allowed up to 2MB for headers, IIS5 brought that down to a default of 1MB (?), IIS6 even further down to 2K (?). I've seen individual utilities limit this after data comes into a web server so that the application doesn't get crashed by too much data. - Some browsers have yet another limit on the size of the FORM ACTION parameter. Since the original inquiry is dealing with CallHTTP, this isn't a browser, and since the error is coming from Universe the issue is not with the server. In this case it seems addRequestParameter has yet another limit which the authors felt reasonable, but they didn't code a nice error for anyone who tries to exceed that value. One way around this sort of thing relies on you having access to the server side of the Web Service: Code it so that data can be posted in pieces rather than megabytes at a time. One of the parameters passed to the input can be block X of Y and the last block sent to the Web Service should get a confirmation for all blocks in the return values.

Re: [U2] CallHTTP
Tony, - There are occasionally limits on the size of the domain name, which is included in the total for the query string. RFC3696 (which collates information from other RFCs) places the following limitations on a hostname from DNS: A DNS label (the parts of a domain name delimited by '.') may not be longer than 63 octets. A complete fully qualified domain name cannot be longer than 255 octets. Probably nothing to do with the CallHTTP problem, but useful to know.

Re: [U2] CallHTTP
Nick, I have previously posted UV code which uses sockets to do HTTP rather than CallHTTP -- this might solve your problem in the short term. Craig --- u2-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/
RE: [U2] CallHTTP
The type of error message is typical from a variable growing beyond the memory size. If it is not the program, is their a log file or como file or something in the backgroud that could be getting large. Otherwise it might be a limitation in the C routine that is parsing the HTTP. I would get on to IBM support.
