Re: How to monitor for a curl error

...if you're using SQL for the rest of, why not just use SQL for the HTTP stuff?

Thanks Jon

Lazy maybe - I found a curl example and just tried it.

Using curl was something I had not done before so it had the attraction of
being something new to try - I will use that as my answer :-)

But as you rightly suggest HTTPAPI will provide a much better solution.

Appreciate your reply

Cheers Don

Any particular reason for using curl rather that (say) HTTPAPI ?

Hi All

I am out of my depth with this curl stuff and hoping someone can advise.

I have been searching for curl information - maybe I should be searching

for qsh ?

I am using curl to write to a GreyLog syslog server.

I am using qcmdexc to run the qsh command that uses curl to post to the
syslog server.

This works but I have found if there are many messages to be written I

can

get an error
curl: (7) Failed to connect ... connection refused

This message appears in the joblog

My call looks like this;

callp(e) QCmdExc(Cmd:CmdLen);
if %error();

I do get an error but how do I retrieve the actual error that is being
sent to the job log (or the qsh session if run interactively) ?

I think the server is just having a hard time keeping up so if I get

this

error I was going to retry sending the post or perhaps put a short sleep

to handle this issue.

Appreciate any suggestions

Thank you

Don
