Can't seem to work out how to do this. For a REST server I am connecting to the error information is returned in the body as JSON. Neither ErrorMessage or GetString return the body.

Try ErrorMessage (the assumption here is that the job's Success flag is False). That works for me when I return 500 codes in my modified jRDC2 code.

Sorry meant to say ErrorMessage and GetString not . ErrorMessage does not return the JSON string which is in the body of the message.

So on a Success = False, ErrorMessage is blank/has no content?

It has content; for example ErrorMessage returns "Internal Server Error". Doing the same REST API call using Postman I can see this in the Body:

B4X: 
{"code":"INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR","message":"An internal server error occurred"}

I need the full JSON not just the code.

If you have logging on, the OkHTTPUtils, on an error (a non 200 return code from the WebServer) will perform
B4X: 
Log($"ResponseError. Reason: ${Reason}, Response: ${Response.ErrorResponse}"$)

On my jRDC2 server, I have the following error code when calling a sql query that is not set up
B4X: 
errMsg = $"jRDC ERROR: Command not found: ${cmd.Name}"$
resp.SendError(500, errMsg)

This will log the following (via the above Log() call):

If you notice, my error message is shown plainly as ${Reason}, but it is also embedded in ${Response.ErrorResponse}. Do you get something similar? Please note, this is only if the server returns a non-200 code and therefore Success = False.

Yes the log shows the same as Postman:
B4X: 
{"code":"INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR","message":"An internal server error occurred"}

It's a 500 error.

Hmm. I think I have sorted this. I had both OkHTTP and JHTTP ticked in the libraries and JHTTPUtils2 and jOkHTTPUtils ticked! I am converting an old project to OkHTTP and implementing Wait For. Thanks for the help.
