Hi,
a post to report unexpected behavior of the http proc :
For a week, I try to download PDF files via PROC HTTP (SAS9.4M4) with login, password authentication.
Each request gives me this message :
NOTE: PROCEDURE HTTP used (Total process time):
real time 0.24 seconds
cpu time 0.14 seconds
NOTE: 500 Internal Server Error
After analyzed the security internet options settings on my Windows server, contacted the provider of the Web Service, I finally found the solution:
The undocumented option of the HTTP PROC -> JAVA_HTTP :
proc http java_http
webusername="" webpassword=""
method="GET" url="&url./¶m."
out=out;
run;
This behavior can be controlled with the environment variable SAS_JAVA_HTTP.
If you have details on the action of this option, I am interested.
Regards,
Gaetan
