Error code 1919 on http_get and http_fetch

[Sparticuz]

Hey all, I'm trying to get a json response back from a web page written in php. I've got the php code working properly, returning exactly the response I need (I'll show you how I verified that). But I'm getting an error_code: 1919 from http_get and _fetch, with the error text: Timed out reading headers: Socket timeout reading data. Some data was available, but the read was incomplete within the timeout intervae Which comes back immediately (even though _get has a timeout of 8000ms and _fetch 45000ms)

This is my code

'get all the variables
dim parameters as c = "?"
parameters = parameters + "summary=" + e.dataSubmitted.summary + "&"
parameters = parameters + "start=" + e.dataSubmitted.start + "&"
parameters = parameters + "end=" + e.dataSubmitted.end + "&"
parameters = parameters + "description=" + e.dataSubmitted.description + "&"
parameters = parameters + "location=" + e.dataSubmitted.location + "&"
parameters = parameters + "access_token=" + g_getAccessToken() + "&"
parameters = parameters + "calendarId=" + g_getCalendarId(session.territory)


if session.regionnum == 3 then
    parameters = parameters + "&central=1"
end if


'pass them off to php

'FOR FETCH
dim fetch as p
fetch.host = "localhost"
fetch.port = 8080
fetch.page = "postEvent.php"
fetch.query_string = parameters
dim response as p = http_fetch(fetch)

'FOR GET
dim url as c = "http://localhost/postEvent.php"
'dim response as p = http_get(url+parameters,"",8080)


'?response.body

url+parameters is

http://localhost:8080/postEvent.php?summary=Brace Place&start=04/02/2012 09:00 am&end=04/02/2012 09:00 am&description=Telemarketer: Kyle McNallySales Rep: Angie Alvarez-- Prospect Information --Prospect ID: 934326695Prospect Name: Brace PlaceContact Name: Geri LeeverPhone: 813-988-9136&location=9806 N 56th St , Tampa, FL  33617&access_token=ya29.AHES6ZSl7EixdsMy9xPm3c-TqIKM6zw59vEjK-gv9hdJbwDeBplcLb8&calendarId=jktpa.com_ka3pbomnkemtdbm17ot9j5dc1o@group.calendar.google.com

This url, when pasted in my browser, correctly returns the JSON I need. So I am positive that my PHP code works correctly. The problem is in alpha.

So again, when http_get or http_fetch run, they return back

response.{
body=,
error_text=Timed out reading headers: Socket timeout reading data. Some data was available, but the read was incomplete within the timeout interval.,
error_code=1919,
headers=,
parsed_headers=
}

Re: Error code 1919 on http_get and http_fetch

Parameters is not a valid query string because of the way you have built it. You need to use urlencode() on the parameter values, such as

parameters = parameters + "summary=" + urlencode(e.dataSubmitted.summary) + "&"

A browser would automatically do this encoding for you, so this means that the PHP page is receiving something different from the browser as compared to your Xbasic code.

Awesome! That did it.

Just for fyi, I tried to do urlencode(parameters) inside the http_get function, but it converted all the ? and the &'s to their encoded equivalents and it didn't work. So I had to put them each in individually as Lenny stated.
