Oh well, guess I have to figure something else out then for doing this.

The procedure works, as in it posts to the URL with the parameters, but it also throws an error:

SQL execution error,
ORA-29273: HTTP request failed
ORA-06512: at “SYS.UTL_HTTP”, line 1029 ORA-29261: bad argument
ORA-06512: at “HH.UTIL_PKG”, line 101

This is how im using the code (its in a trigger)

DECLARE
v_url varchar2(200);
l_data clob := ‘1′;
….

BEGIN
…
select REPLACE(REPLACE(:new.input_value,’ ‘,NULL),’-',NULL) into v_phone_num from dual;
– select REPLACE(REPLACE(1234567,’ ‘,NULL),’-',NULL) into v_phone_num from dual;
v_url := ‘http://www.******.com/test.asp?pnum=12345′ || ‘&’ || ‘phone=’ || v_phone_num;

util_pkg.http_post(p_url_in => v_url, p_data_in => l_data);

Im only passing 2 arguments, p_url and p_data_in, what is the bad argument error about?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The code for hte post is something like this.

Erroring Scenario (Generally this code works perfectly in production,But the below case had happened once ):

1) XML has posted succesfully
2) When reading the response ( l_http_resp := utl_http.get_response (l_http_req);) an error occured and control goes to main Exception.
and throwing a “Bad argument” error.

How do Oracle manages a case where XML has posted successfully and then fail to provide success or failure response . ?

Anybody experience a similar error?

Oracle version: DB version 9.2.04 generates the XML and posts on an Oracle Apps Server (HTTPServer).

Sample Code Summarized:

-- Begin the post request

-- Set the HTTP request headers

-- Write the data to the body of the HTTP request

    utl_http.write_text(l_http_req, p_data_in);

-- Process the request and get the response.

 l_http_resp := utl_http.get_response (l_http_req);

if the response is 200 Then Insert into a post message table which logs the content of succesful message.
if not 200 then I have a parent process which will retry posting after certain time.

Exception
WHEN OTHERS THEN
UTL_HTTP.END_RESPONSE(l_http_resp);
Log Error.

Exact Error shows below.

ORA-29273: HTTP request failed
ORA-06512: at “SYS.UTL_HTTP”, line 1380
ORA-29261: bad argument
ORA-06512: at “Prodcode.Package_Name”, line 120 (here line 120 is the PLSQL exception)
