HTTP Receiver interface returns with error code 110

Question

Hi All,
We are posting the document from XI to a external server as HTTPS request.
We are able to sucessfully post the request to external server using HTTP destination as address type but not able to post sucessfully with URL as address type.
Here goes the details -
We are able to post the HTTPS request successfully on the external server using the HTTP destination as address type in HTTP receiver adapter setup.
When we setup address type as HTTP destination , we need to provide the following details -
IN SM59 , Connection type G
Target Host : host name (  with out "https://"  as prefix)
Service No : 443
Path prefix : query string
SSL : Active
Certificate : Select the certifacte from the client certificate list.
We can post the request to external server using URL as address type in HTTP receiver adapter setup.
When we setup address type as URL , we need to provide the following details -
Address type : URL Address
Target Host : host name (  with out "https://"  as prefix)
Service Number : 443 ( HTTPS port setup on XI)
Path : query string.
When we post the same request as we did with HTTP destination as Address type , we are getting a HTTP response code as failure HTTP response code 110
Please find the details about the return code -
If a cache returns a stale response, either because of a max-stale directive on a request, or because the cache is configured to override the expiration time of a response, the cache MUST attach a Warning header to the stale response, using Warning 110 (Response is stale).
110 Response is stale
MUST be included whenever the returned response is stale.
Please find the error message from SXMB_MONI

Answer 1

Hi All,
Is some one can confirm that - We can use HTTPS with Address type as URL address in HTTP receiver adapter setup.
I can confirm that using HTTP destination as Address type in HTTP receiver adapter setup we can attain HTTPS communication with external server.
If some one who has tried HTTPS communication using HTTP receiver adapter using URL address as Address type can guide me what are the steps need to be done.
Address type is a parameter in HTTP adapter setup .
