Re: SSL handshake error/timeout in HTTPAPI: is there a way to catch this and recover?

James,

I don't have all of the error codes memorized.  When you're getting an error, see what the error code is -- and do an IF statement that looks for that error.

For example:


if RC <> 1;
  buffy = http_error(errnum);
  if errnum = HTTP_BRRECV or errnum = HTTP_BRTIME or errnum = HTTP_BWSEND;
    retry = *on;
  endif;
endif;

As you already know, it returns a value that indicates that the request failed.

And *what* value would that be? RC is coming back as 1; otherwise (whitespace squeezed out for email purposes)

  C       IF       RC <> 1
  C       EVAL     BUFFY=http_error
  C       EVAL     M$G=http_error
  C M$G   DSPLY
  C       SETON                     LRH1
  C       RETURN
  C       ENDIF

would have tripped.

Given that return code, so far as *the program* knows, either everything is hunky-dory, or the *web service itself* complained in the reply. It's only when the program tries to parse the reply buffer, and finds it completely empty, that it blows up, and it was only when I saw the debug file that I had any indication that the SSL handshake had failed in some way.
