Blue Prism 6.10 Utility HTTP request

[dhavaljp]

Hi,

I was using 6.2 version and in that I use Utility HTTP request to call API. I use below configuration and it is working fine.

I migrated to 6.10 in that above configuration not give me result. I see blank collection from API.

I build this for companies house API.

Thanks Eric,

I have written  all these parameters but it gives me error like "Could not execute code stage because exception thrown by code stage: The ServicePointManager does not support proxies with the https scheme."

@dhavaljp,

The Proxy URL is not the same as the destination URL. The proxy URL should be a hostname, ip address, or URL of the proxy server somewhere in you network. If you look at your browser settings you may find it defined there. It will likely also include a port number like 8000 or 8080 (ex. proxy.mydomain.com:8080). Typically, the proxy server will be just an HTTP address.

You can try running this command from a command prompt (run as Administrator) and see if it returns your proxy server info:

netsh winhttp show proxy​

Cheers,

I think from below information there is no proxy server and what should be taken as proxy username and password.

@dhavaljp,

There is definitely a proxy being used. Otherwise you would not be receiving the (407) Proxy Authentication Required response when you make the request.​ As your screenshot shows, there is an automatic configuration script being run that configures the proxy settings at runtime. 

You can try opening the URL, listed in the screenshot, in a browser and append wpad.dat to the end of it (eg. http://<whatever the URL is>/wpad.dat). That might allow you to download the config file which you could then open in Notepad and see if the proxy addresses are listed in it.

Otherwise, I think you're going to have to reach out to your IT team to get the proxy info from them.

As for the credentials, they typically expect your Windows login credentials.

What strikes me is you said this was working in v6.2. Was you v6.2 VBO customized (was the code changed)?

Hi Eric

I update proxy URL as you mention and update machine credential as username and password.


I got below  error .

Could not execute code stage because exception thrown by code stage: Invalid URI: The URI scheme is not valid.

We don't make any change in 6.2 HTTP utility code. As I mentioned v 6.2 imported vbo not working in 6.10.

Remove "PROXY " from Proxy URL, it should be just "corp-eq5-proxy.mhc:8080"

Hi @dhavaljp,

​Try changing the proxy setting to http://corp-eq5-proxy.mhc:8080 (make sure it's http and not https). Also, if there's nothing private in it, would you post the definition of the API Call data item (including any configurable parts)? I want to try invoking exactly what you are. 

Cheers,
