UTL_HTTP on XE

I know I'm probably pushing the friendship here, but I was looking to set up a very simple online shop using the pre-packaged app plus the Paypal integration. Unfortunately the later requires the UTL_HTTP package which by the looks of things doesn't come with XE. (I have Apex 3 on XE)
Are my aspirations too high or am I missing something really simple here ;-)
thanks in advance

I agree, need to add privileges to you user to do that. I post a quick HowTo on the past to use that function as region portlet like.
How to Display PHP Output as Portlet in HTML Region using utl_http.request
Good Luck D.

Issues with using utl_http with Oracle Wallet

Hello Everyone,
We are experimenting with Oracle wallet and utl_http and are attempting to do an https transfer and we are facing some problems. I will appreciate your help greatly if you can advise on what could be wrong. We are on db version 10.2.0.1 and Unix HP-UX. The intention ping an https url and get a simple 200 response. Future development would include get/post XML documents from that url and other interesting stuff. I understand that utl_http with Oracle wallet can be used for this purpose.
The wallet has been created and the ewallet.p12 exists. We downloaded the SSL certificate from the url's website and uploaded into the wallet.
Everything works if I put in a url with plain http. However, it does not work with an HTTP*S* url.
With HTTPS when I run the below code I get the following error. Again, greatly appreciate your time and help because this is the first time we are using Oracle wallet manager and do not know where to go from here.

I have fixed the problem by own.
Seems there are some while space in the endpoint url.
Fix

It works...

Sys.utl_http stopped working in batch; still works in APEX?

We have a package in Oracle 11gR1 that runs a nightly "job" to produce reports; it is designed to call the Oracle Reports server via URL and create a report as pdf, then save it to a directory in the Oracle LINUX filesystem. The call in the output procedure is simple:
           MY_URL :=
'http://refugee1.dcf.state.fl.us:7777/reports/rwservlet?server=repRefugeeTest&report=DELIVERABLE_RPT.rdf&destype=FILE&desformat=pdf&userid=ruser/collins@RPD&desname=/app/oracle/external_files/official_reports/MAY_2014_DELIV.pdf&contract=XK030&report_beg_d=05/01/2014&report_end_d=05/31/2014&subc=&sticker=OFFICIAL REPORT';
            UTL_HTTP.SET_TRANSFER_TIMEOUT (180);
            MY_HTTP_RTN := UTL_HTTP.REQUEST (MY_URL);
            UTL_HTTP.SET_TRANSFER_TIMEOUT (60);
This Oracle package has worked for years with user RPD, until we moved up some rdf and report package changes yesterday. These same four commands still work fine using APEX (with user APEX_PUBLIC_USER) in a windows-based browser (Firefox and IE), but this command UTL_HTTP.REQUEST does not produce output anymore from the Oracle package (with user RPD) and throws no exception. There is no job in the Oracle Reports queue (exception or not) to show that the request was passed. And, if I paste the string of MY_URL into a windows-browser, then it runs and Oracle Reports shows the job. I'm stumped! Please help shed light on the mystery; how can I trace or trap what's (not) happening?

Does
aplay -Dplug:iec958 /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav
work?
Did you try this while running a DE? Did you try disabling/enabling powersaving?

Hi Billy
Yikes - how embarassing ! Thanks for pointing out my beginners mistake there. I've fixed my code - and also implemented the substitutions of parameters like you suggested - I like that approach.
Unfortunately the end result is no better - the line
utl_http.read_text(resp,response_text);
Still returns nothing back
The headers that are coming back are
Date: Thu, 04 Jul 2013 08:31:56 GMT
Server: Apache/2.2.16 (Ubuntu)
X-Powered-By: PHP/5.3.3-1ubuntu9.3

Connection: close
I guess I will need to try chasing it with the fastsms vendor so see if they can check my incoming request and see if there are any glaring problems. I know the xml is correct as I am now logging the xml string just before I send it and when I take that string and put it in their test form it works perfectly - something else in the puzzle is missing. I've had no experience using utl_http before - perhaps it's no possible to read the xml repsonse using this ?
Anyway, thanks for your help Billy.
ps - How do you paste your code into your message to get that formatting ?

Brent

Run a report in PL/SQL using utl_http.request

Hi
I need to run a report in PL/SQL using utl_http.request
How that can be done ??
Thank you!

Okay, backtrack.
A web server can deliver all kinds of content. From static HTML pages, to XML files and videos and dynamic content. Including reports.
The communication language (protocol) used to talk to a web server is HTTP.
UTL_HTTP is an Oracle PL/SQL library that implements the client side of this communication. It allows the developer to write code that acts like a web browser and communicates with a web server.
Now what do you not understand and cannot use?
HTTP is not simple and easy. You need to understand the basics of this communication language in order to communicate successfully with the web server. Like knowing the difference between GET and PUT and POST commands, how the URL query string works and so on.
Once you know that, you can look at how the web server provides reports. How do you authenticate as a web browser with the web reporting system? What URLs do you use to access which reports? How do you pass name-values to the web server as report parameters? What HTTP response formats (MIME types) does the web report server provide? Which one do you plan to use and how do you parse that response into a meaning structured data format?
If you're thinking it is "easy", think again. Sure, someone here can provide sample code that for example grabs a CSV report file from a web server and (using a pipeline table function), turn that into rows and columns. But that will not teach you the fundamentals you need to know and not equip you with dealing with the problem with your own brains, hands and keyboard.
PS. In other words, learn to crawl and walk before trying to run. Get to grips with how HTTP works before diving into the deep end of web report integration.

Error while invoking webservice using UTL_HTTP from PL/SQL Block

Hi All,
I am invoking a webservice (SOAP Request) from a PL/SQL block using UTL_HTTP package.
I am able to send the complete request and am getting the required instance on the BPEL Console, but the process is erroring out while getting response back.
and the PL/SQL Block is ending in error mentioned below:
ERROR at line 1:

Package is completing successfully if i test in local DB and local BPEL.
But giving above error in client's.
Can anyone let me know what is the cause of this.
Thanks in advance

I got it working by making process Synchronous.
But with asynchronous process it is still same error.
Thanks...

My guess would be that your request is not properly constructed,
29266, 00000, "end-of-body reached"
// *Cause: The end of the HTTP response body was reached.
// *Action: If the end of the HTTP response is reached prematurely, check if
// the HTTP response terminates prematurely. Otherwise, end the

What is the datatype to store the value of variable of UTL_HTTP.resp

Hello,
I am using Oracle 11g R2 SOE.
I have table Called SMS consists of two columns (TEXT , RESPONSE) to store the value of variable of type UTL_HTTP.resp
the datatype of TEXT column is varchar2.
What should be the datatype of the column RESPONSE that is supposed to store the value of a variable of type UTL_HTTP.resp ????
Please see the following example if it was not clear;
Declare
l_url2 SMS.RESPONSE%TYPE;
l_http_request2   UTL_HTTP.req;
l_http_response2 UTL_HTTP.resp;
begin
l_http_request2 := UTL_HTTP.begin_request(l_url2);
l_http_response2 := UTL_HTTP.get_response(l_http_request2);
insert into SMS (text,response) values (l_url2,l_http_response2);
UTL_HTTP.end_response(l_http_response2);
end;Regards,
Fateh

Fatehutl_http.resp is a record type Its defined like this
TYPE resp IS RECORD (
   status_code    PLS_INTEGER,
   reason_phrase VARCHAR2(256),
   http_version   VARCHAR2(64));http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B19306_01/appdev.102/b14258/u_http.htm#i1012713
I would suggest in your table you split the RESPONSE column into 3 different column and store the fields STATUS_CODE, REASON_PHARSE and HTTP_VERSION accordingly.

Error while using utl_http package

Hi Guys,
I need some help with the utl_http package
The problem that Iam facing is as follows :
Iam trying to use the Oracle provided package utl_http
package to send an http request to a particular
website.However Iam getting the request_failed
exception.
I type in the foll.command in sqlplus:
select utl_http.request('http://www.oracle.com') from
dual
and I get the foll.error---
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-06510: PL/SQL: unhandled user-defined exception
ORA-06512: at "SYS.UTL_HTTP", line 174
ORA-06512: at line 1
If I try and trap the exception it shows
request_failed exception.
If any one has any clue on how to resolve this -- >please reply ASAP .
Thanks

Is it possible that your database sits behind a firewall? If so, you need to specify the proxy in utl_http.request.

Cannot view PDF created by passing xml and XSL-FO using UTL_HTTP

Hi,
Using UTL_HTTP Iam trying to contact a servlet which uses the input XML and XSL/FO to produce a PDF.However, when I run the procedure , I get the following error 'File does not begin with -%PDF' ? I checked the output on the console and the blob values does not start with %PDF . Below is the sample from my code , please let me know if Iam commiting a mistake somewhere. I confirmed that the servlet itself is working fine by confirming with test webpage that takes xml and stylesheet input and generates a PDF when 'submitted' to servlet on the click of a button.
INSERT INTO TESTPDF ( PDF_REPORT ) VALUES ( Empty_Blob() ) RETURNING PDF_REPORT INTO vBlobRef;
vReportURL :='/rufop/fop?xml='||xmldoc||'&xsltRPath=../../test/PAXSL.xsl';
req := UTL_HTTP.BEGIN_REQUEST (url=>vReportURL, method=>'POST');
resp := utl_http.get_response(req);
loop
begin
Utl_Http.read_raw(resp, vData);
Dbms_Lob.writeAppend ( lob_loc => vBlobRef , amount => Utl_Raw.length(vData) , buffer => vData );
exception
when utl_http.end_of_body then
exit;
end;
end loop;
Utl_Http.end_response(resp);
owa_util.mime_header('application/pdf',false);
htp.p('Content-Disposition: inline; filename="test.pdf"');
htp.p('Content-Length: '|| dbms_lob.getlength(vBlobRef));
owa_util.http_header_close;
wpg_docload.download_file(vBlobRef);
Thanks in advance,

Hello guys! I have been assigned the same task,i.e to generate pdf through xml using xsl stylesheet.
I have a procedure which is creating the xml and the stylesheet. But I have no idea how to write the procedure which passes this xml to fo engine. I am very new to this. Can anyone please share your thoughts with me so as how to accomplish this? By reading blogs on internet I figured I would have to use UTIL_HTTP but don't know how.

UTL_HTTP.end_of_body Exception Error. Trying to Understand the Reason Why?

I have the following PLSQL Function that returns a End_of_body Error. This started when we migrated from 10g to 11g. It is simple enough to capture so the error does not stop the Function Flow, but the error causes the OCI driver in OBIEE to error, which prevents the use of OBIEE IBOT to execute. Trying to understand why this error is occurring..not sure if we have a permissions issue on the UTL_HTTP Package or what?
Anyone seen this problem in 11g? Suggests on resolving would be great. Thanks.

How to Display PHP Output as Portlet in HTML Region using utl_http.request

I wanted to be able to parse PHP functions to add more functionality to my Page. nothing fantasy, something simple like: http://phpsysinfo.sourceforge.net/phpsysinfo-dev/?template=classic
Where the realtime values are retrieved from the OS. this represent some kind of problem to me, I know how to do it from Shell Script, Perl or PHP, but not from PL/SQL.
Based on my experience using Oracle Portal, Portlets, I think we really can make use of the feature used in Portal called Web Clipping. [ This feature basically goes to some Site a retrieve part of the site to show in the current page]. Well the PL/SQL utility utl_http.request does something similar.
Make sure your request page does not retrieve some headers because that would cause a problem in your page and will not show up.
This is what I did:
 1.- Grant Privileges to execute [ utl_http.request ] to the owner of your schema.
login into the OracleXE / APEX as SYS then go to the Object Navigator, then click on packages, find the utl_http.request then click on it, later click on grant and select your schema owner for your applicaion.
 2.- Logout as SYS then login as your application schema user. just to test the functionality go to the sql command then enter the following command and then click run:
 select substr(utl_http.request('http://www.oracle.com/'),1, 255) from dual; 
If your output is:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <html> <head> <title>Oracle 10g, Siebel, PeopleSoft | Oracle, The World's Largest Enterprise Software Company</title> <meta name="title" content="Enterprise Applications | Database | Fusio
 Wow It worked , this really could be useful !!, If not go back to step 1 and check your permissions to execute, or perhaps your Internet connectivity.
3.- Once we know the package works and we can retrieve content from the Internet. lets go to some of our pages add some HTML Region.
4.- Create an item and put into the new region. the source will be SQL, For the purposes of my test the query to the Oracle Page failed, so I decided to give a shot with a simple PHP script with no headers.
The internal server is: http://mytest.com/hello_world.php
Where the content of the hello_world.php is:
<?
echo '" Hello World ";
?>
This PHP works fine and display the basic Hello World. can be the same server or not, also noticed this can be another port perhaps using something like Ruby,Mason or Java.
 5.- Finally in my Item the source type is SQL and looks like this:
 select substr(utl_http.request('http://mytest.com/hello_world.php'),1, 255) from dual; 
Apply the changes and run the page !!!
Excelent It worked as expected. now you know how use utl_http.request to create webclipping in your OracleXE / APEX from remote pages, or how to use it to parse the output from CGI, Perl, PHP, Ruby or Java pages.
Note: [ Just make sure to strip the headers or parse into a PL/SQL Procedure to clean then show ]

Sorry, from your post in the LabVIEW board I did not understand that it was the Output message that you were looking for.
I thought you wanted the results from your test steps displayed on the user interface.
It is the “Output Panel” in the sequence editor that displays your output message, but I do not know if there is default Output panel activeX indicator for user interface that the TestStand engine would update automatically like it does the execution view.
Maybe someone else knows
As also pointed out, the UI messages is your other option.
The Output Message event number is 40
http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/epd/p/id/3879
UIMsg_OutputMessages–(Value: 40) TestStand sends this message at periodic intervals when it holds references to output messages that calls to the OutputMessage.Post method queue. TestStand transfers the queued messages to an OutputMessages collection attached to the UIMessage.ActiveXData property for this event. An application that processes output messages should copy the output message references from the collection in UIMessage.ActiveXData to its own private OutputMessages collection by passing its private collection to the OutputMessages.CopyMessagesToCollection method. An application calls the Engine.NewOutputMessages method to create a private OutputMessage collection. TestStand generates this event only if the Engine.OutputMessagesEnabled property is True. Because there can be more than one handler for this event, the application should not modify the OutputMessages collection the UIMessage.ActiveXData property holds.
