HTTP Operators: Common Output Ports

Success

The operator finished successfully.

Timeout

A connection timeout or a socket timeout occurred.

Failure

The HTTP response has a status code greater than or equal to 300.

The HTTP Response Content can contain the HTTP status code and the reason for operator failure. The HTTPResponseReasonPhrase can contain a generic reason of failure. A generic reason for failure is returned in the HTTP response Status Line. Examine the HTTPResponseContent for details.

Descriptions for status codes 401 and 407 and other failure reasons follow:

401

Status code 401 indicates one of the following conditions:

• Incorrect URL authentication credentials.
• Incorrect URL authentication scheme (Basic vs NTLM)
• No authentication credentials are provided when the HTTP URL requires authentication.
• URL authentication failure.

With a 401 error code, the HTTP server typically returns the WWW-Authenticate response header. This response header contains the authentication scheme that the HTTP server is using. Use this information to determine which authentication scheme to use against the URL. Basic HTTP authentication and NTLM authentication are the two schemes that HTTP operators support.

407

Status code 407 indicates one of the following conditions:

• Incorrect proxy authentication credentials.
• Incorrect proxy authentication scheme (Basic vs NTLM).
• No authentication credentials are provided when the proxy requires authentication.
• Proxy authentication failure.

With a 407 error code, the HTTP proxy typically returns the Proxy-Authenticate response header. This response header contains the authentication scheme that the proxy server is using. Use this information to determine which authentication scheme to use against the proxy. Basic HTTP authentication and NTLM authentication are the two schemes that HTTP operators support.

• The URL or Proxy Host that was specified as input is unknown.
• The HTTP call goes through a proxy but the input did not include specification of a proxy. In this case, the operator can specify that the connection to the HTTP URL is refused.
• Input included an invalid proxy port. In this case, the operator can specify that the connection to the ‘ProxyHost:ProxyPort’ is refused.
• Invalid input, such as the following information, was detected:
  • Negative connection or socket time outs.
  • Negative maximum number of redirects.
  • Negative response data set field size limit.
  • Save response to file with no file path provided.
