Hi ,

I want to call a specific URL from Database using PL/SQL, and I don't want to specify the browser. I used the Procedure UTL_HTTP.REQUEST but I had the following errors:
Err:ORA-12535: TNS:operation timed out
Err:ORA-29273: HTTP request failed
ORA-06512: at "SYS.UTL_HTTP", line 1022
ORA-12535: TNS:operation timed out

Could anyone help me or have any other idea to solve my problem?

Regards,
Hala

Browser? Where did you specify it?

Could you post code you wrote? Besides, which Oracle version do you use?

No I didn't specify if the URL that I want should be opened using IE or Google Chrome or etc..
My code is the following:
begin
htp.htmlOpen;
htp.BodyOpen;

htp.p('Test...');

htp.p(
utl_http.request('URL')
);

htp.BodyClose;
htp.htmlClose;
end;

Thank you ,
Hala

(Why did this end in the Apex forum?)

Jum thinks that it is about fetching data from some page on the Internet, right? If that's so, here's another example (which helped me a lot).

I must admit that "without specifying a browser" statement is very misleading, from my point of view. What does a browser have to do with you using UTL_HTTP? You don't want to use it, and I didn't see (anywhere in your code) that you actually use it. So what is "browser" doing here in the first place?
