Thankyou Symeon that logging info is gold... I can see now that I'm getting a "host test.hostname.com:443 not found in hostlist" error so will be investigating that further.
Also if you can send me the https post sub that you've mentioned below I'd be keen to see how that works as well.

If not you may need to do a bit more work on certificates. Restful webservices are nothing magical, it is still just a http(s) endpoint , the difference is you normally send more info in the path as well as post data, and you use the http verbs - Seriously I would encourage you to read up about http so you understand what is going on underneath - it is pretty simple its only a text conversation over a socket, you can do http conversations via telnet, or use a tool outside of uv like curl/wget on linux or wfetch on windows just to see what headers are being passed etc. Also if you want -I can email you my simple https post sub I use with endpoints that allow self cert -----Original Message----- From: u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org [mailto:u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org] On Behalf Of Peter Cheney Sent: 20 February 2013 07:57 To: U2 Users List (u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org) Subject: [U2] UV: Consuming https service from within UVBasic using SOAP Hi Everyone, Think I'm suffering a bit from old dog new trick syndrome... Been reading up on and playing with the Soap functions in UV basic but can't seem to get any joy with https url that I've been supplied to use. Was wondering if anyone might have some advice? In particular I've been playing with the code examples here: https://u2devzone.rocketsoftware.com/accelerate/articles/soap-api/soap-api Also came across this in which I recognised some of the list members: http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.db.u2.general/67904 Upgrading to UV11.1.9 may well be a better choice with availability of Dynamic Objects for JSON but we're stuck with 10.3.4 for a good while yet due to other constraints. Code: Ret = SoapCreateRequest(URL , SoapAction , SoapReq) vs Ret = SoapCreateSecureRequest(URL , SoapAction , SoapReq , SecHandle) For the https url I tried using the SoapCreateSecureRequest but when I compile I get a variable unassigned for the 3rd "SoapReq" parameter. Is our UV version the issue here? Another thought I had was that the security_handle variable is somehow affecting the other variables. Using the SoapCreateRequest function the program compiles OK with no errors (the 3rd "SoapReq" parameter is assigned OK however I get an error 2 - network subsystem failure for the https url. If I point at the http url then I at least get a 404 not found. I can also telnet from the host to both ports 80 and 443 no worries so comms appear OK. The project is required to fire off DB events into our new workflow system hence my focus in this direction. Have also read about just writing a message to a pipe etc and other intermediate solutions as per the above but it'd be real nice if I can get this working via soap. Oh and one other question please. Is it possible to have a UV basic program communicate with or consume / use a restful http service? I may have my wires crossed here so please set me straight. I've seen examples of (and we currently use) a web front end accessing a UV db but not the other way around. Many thanks in advance for your time.
