Can someone pls explain under what circumstances a message goes through the Error terminal of a HTTPRequest node ?
Also under what circumstances does it go through the Failure terminal of the node ?
I am trying to simulate different failure scenarios thru a webservice ( a msgflow with HTTPInput and HTTPReply nodes), and I need to test all possible cases.
Appreciate any help.
PS: I read the documentation already and I am looking for more info.
Thanks in advance.
Regds,

Hi,
Only an HTTP status code (that is not success) will cause the error terminal to be used in the HTTP request node.
In V5 the codes are:
1xx = ERROR terminal
2xx = OUT terminal
3xx = ERROR terminal if not redirecting (otherwise request is redirected)
4xx = ERROR terminal
5xx = ERROR terminal
In V6 it is the same for all codes except 1xx which is now handled by the node (so it will not got to the ERROR terminal)
The failure terminal is used if there is an exception whilst in the node itself, for example if the tree (body) you are sending through the request node cannot be serialized (e.g. an invalid tree shape, for example two root elements in the XML domain)).
regards,

I have a msgflow that simulates a webservice ( with a HTTPInput node that accepts webservice requests and a HTTPReply node that sends the response back).
How can I simulate a timeout from a webservice ? I mean, when my first msgflow which has the HTTPRequest node calls the webservice, how can I make it timeout ? I think if I don't use a HTTPReply node at all it will timeout but I want to know other ways of simulating it.
And to which terminal of the HTTPRequest node does the msg go when it times out ? I think it is the Failure terminal...but not sure.
Thanks.
