B4J Question httpjob response : Connection Refused

[tufanv]

Hello,

My server uses 2 seconds updates with a get method from a data feeding network to get the latest finance data and send to my own server's database with a timer that executes httpjob. It was working without problem but yesterday evening it took a "Connection refused" Error and did not send the updates to my own server till that moment. I have killed the process and restarted and it started working again. ( The app was not closed or crashed at the server side , it was still working but not sending updates ) I had try / catch in the code .

My question is , how can i make the app continue if it gets a conneciton refused response. ?

For Example Currently on jobdone I have:

TRy
...
Catch
log(lastexception.message)
end try

If i put httpjob.download ( get method ) between catch and end try , in case of a connection refuse message, will it continue with the next try . Because currently the app logged the error and stopped operations but not crashed.

There is no error to catch here. You need to check whether Job.Success is true in JobDone event.

My httpjob initalizes every second with a timer. , if it was a success=false for one try , why didn't it continue with the next try with the timer ? Also the app did not crash but i had to restart to make the app get data from remote network again.

Check your code. The fact that a HttpJob fails doesn't affect any other requests.

I have talked with the network admin . He said that the reason for connection refused for my server's request was http get was requested without the header information which includes the login credentials but I always send the httpjob with username and password. Is it possible ?

Maybe you need to add a user agent header.
