HTTP Receiver - Proxy

[Former Member]

Hi,

I had to design a file----- XI -

---

HTTP scenario.

Say i am connect to a 3rd party with address 11.11.111.11 throgh the HTTP call.

But now i am told that a firewall wil be in place between XI and HTTP.

What does that mean ? do i still have to call the address 11.11.111.11 or some thing else ?

do i have to take any specific care in the HTTP receiver ?

Any help is highly appreciated.

Thanks,

Vignesh

since u r using HTTP protocol and default 80 port is allowed in the firewall.. i think no punch is required for the firewall.

Thanks for ur opinon.

I just tried to ping the 3rd part system from my PC.

I got a message sayig "Request timed out"

Does this mean that the 3rd part system is not active ?

Hi

Replied to your other thread.

Its not necessary that target system is not active. but for you to connect to the target system you need to enable them in your landscape and even target network should allow your IP to send data to them.

There is nothing specific you need to do here. Just you need to add a firewall rule that will allow PI to post to this IP.

Give a check doing a ping test to this IP. If not successful contact your network people to solve this.

May be you require HTTPS based on your company security policies. For that you need to install SSL certificate on your PI box, generated from target system and create RFC destination on XI. Use this RFC destination in receiver HTTP
