RE: HTTPAPI & revoked SSL cert

[Justin Taylor <JUSTIN@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

It's the cert error in HTTPAPI.  Once the cert error appears, it seems that every subsequent HTTPAPI call made within the same job will fail with the same cert error.  The first day it happened, we had about 360 of them before we restarted the IBMi job.  IT is notified for every one, and they appear in the IBMi joblog.

Justin,

Could you elaborate on preventing a string of subsequent errors. If the CGI Job is in a *MSGW state, it's obviously not going to have a problem with subsequent errors. Where are the errors being seen? The end user? HTTP server job logs?
