Thats becaure you are trying to access the URL from behind the firewall. Use the proxy settings to access the website. Something like:
SQL> SELECT utl_http.request('http://www.google.com') FROM dual
2 /
SELECT utl_http.request('http://www.google.com') FROM dual
ERROR at line 1:

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.

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:
<b> 1.- </b> Grant Privileges to execute [ <b> utl_http.request </b> ] 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.
<b> 2.- </b> 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:
<b> select substr(utl_http.request('http://www.oracle.com/'),1, 255) from dual; </b>
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
<font color='blue'> Wow It worked </font>, 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 '"<b> Hello World </b> ";
?>
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.
<b> 5.- </b> Finally in my Item the source type is SQL and looks like this:
<b> select substr(utl_http.request('http://mytest.com/hello_world.php'),1, 255) from dual; </b>
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.

Hi Sean,
I informed the senior developer and she said she has emailed the Oracle regarding this issue. We are developing a website for a company who has purchased the Oracle CRM on demand. Is it mandatory for every one to create a service request? You can email me at [email protected] and I will contact you directly.
Thanks

Error while using utl_http.request :ORA-12535: TNS:operation timed

Hi.
I'm using 11g
I'm trying to use utl_http.request
I tried select utl_http.request('http://srvab.us.oracle.com') from dual;
and get the below error
Error report:
SQL Error: ORA-29273: HTTP request failed

*Cause: The UTL_HTTP package failed to execute the HTTP request.

Fix the error and retry the HTTP request.
I have tried the below steps after checking Oracle KM
BEGIN

But still no luck.Please assist
Thanks
Archana

According to the exception, the error is not ACL related, but network related.
Basic test. Connect to the Oracle server using a console (e.g. ssh or telnet into the server). On that server, test the network connectivity to the web server. E.g.
telnet srvab.us.oracle.com 80If this fails, then so will PL/SQL code in that Oracle server.

The wallet needs to be stored on the Oracle server.
Using +$ORACLE_HOME/bin/owm+ you create a wallet file and import (copy-and-paste) the web server's certificate in PEM format.
PL/SQL code then needs to use the wallet on the server:

Just when you think that you know everything, it is slammed in your face that you don't. The .Mac member name field in the System Preferences DOES NOT take your whole e-mail address. It only takes your user name or whatever comes BEFORE the "@" symbol. There was absolutely nothing wrong with my MacBook Pro (other than ther brain dead user).

Xml query hungs up with large xml response from utl_http request

What could be the problem or the solutions?. Please help. Its urgent...

What could be the problem or the solutions?1) Create an XMLType table (could be temporary) using binary XML storage :
create table tmp_xml of xmltype
xmltype store as securefile binary xml;2) In your procedure, load the XMLType containing the response (rsp_xml) into the table :
insert into tmp_xml values (rsp_xml);3) Then, execute the query directly from the table :
SELECT opciones_obj ( ... )
BULK COLLECT INTO t_opciones
FROM tmp_xml t
   , XMLTABLE (
         xmlnamespaces ( ... ),
         '/env:Envelope/env:Body/...'
         PASSING t.object_value
         COLUMNS ...4) At the end of the procedure, delete (or truncate) the table or simply let the table delete itself when the session ends (in case you created it TEMPORARY)

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?

HTTPS request signed by client certificate from PL/SQL procedure

Hi All, please help.
The PL/SQL procedure connects to different web services, using both HTTP/HTTPS, for HTTPS sever certificates were used. Everything was OK.
The next service requires client to sign requests with client certificate. I made the client certificate, sign it by CA, store it in Wallet Manager.
Is here the possibility to send signed HTTPS request from PL/SQL?
If not, how to do it using Java and encapsulate for PL/SQL?
Please answer ASAP!!!

It is pretty straight-forward to make HTTPS requests with UTL_HTTP.
To do so, you first need to create an Oracle wallet on the database server host with Oracle Wallet Manager. If your database resides on Windows, I believe a short-cut has been created in the Windows menu. On Linux, it can be invoked from $ORACLE_HOME/bin/owm.
Once the wallet is created, you need to make an additional call to utl_http.set_wallet(<wallet-directory>, <wallet-password>) before any utl_http.request or utl_http.begin_request calls. The <wallet-directory> is the wallet directory where you will find the cwallet.sso and/or ewallet.p12 files, using the format "file:/<wallet-directory>". For example:
utl_http.set_wallet('file:/home/oracle/wallets/my_wallet/', '123456');
When an Oracle wallet is created, it is pre-populated with common certificate authorities' certificates (e.g. Verisign). In the event that the server certificate of the HTTPS host is not signed by one of those common certificate authorities, you need to import the additional certificate authority's certificate in your wallet using Oracle Wallet Manager.

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

Hi,
I get the following error when trying to make an HTTP request. Below is the snippet of code I run. I get the error after exactly 60 seconds(default timeout?). I searched through the forums and found many similar errors but nothing that helped me resolve this issue. The problem does not exist in the rest of our environments, only our test environment.
Help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

   p_mid_tier    VARCHAR2 (500);

    WHERE profile_type = '*****';
   UTL_HTTP.set_wallet ('file://$ORACLE_HOME/network/admin/wallets');
   UTL_HTTP.set_transfer_timeout (6000);
   UTL_HTTP.set_response_error_check (TRUE);
   responsestr :=

         UTL_URL.ESCAPE (p_mid_tier || '*****'));

the most frequent cause for TIMEOUT is a FireWall on or between client & server.
when was last time this worked without error?
what changed since then?

Utl_http.request
