Getting Socket timeout error for HTTP request

[Sayana Varughese]

Hello All,

Currently my DevTest server is installed on AWS cloud instance within the client network and is trying to reach a service that is deployed on-prem.
The firewall connectivity has been established. I am able to "curl" to the service endpoint from my AWS linux system and get a connection successful message.
Note that I do have a proxy that I use which has been set up on the AWS instance's env.

When I deploy my mar file, the http get step in that mar file fails with :  | java.net.SocketTimeoutException: connect timed out
======================

I tried adding the proxy details in the Companion-common-web http proxy tab and provided the hostname and port
but i get the error: | java.net.UnknownHostException:<vpce dns>:Name or service not known

Kindly advice on what can be done or how i can resolve this.

Thanks and Regards
Sayana Varughese

I added the proxy in the local.properties file of my DevTest Server, but i still get the: | java.net.SocketTimeoutException: connect timed out error.

My local.properties file:
## === Leave blank to use integrated NTLM authentication
lisa.http.webProxy.host.domain.encrypted=lea7915d864cb1089c728b2cd5bab8646df79345b40615fd6569e0305fdeca94798c23053edcdcdd132ad7207ad67a25ec2b1d1f5e8fe6e6f4b5fad134fa70edc3d3f82d50969011aedc8f04f12bc8f0c4731bb284d9398b64e3a7a516a43337457930a6c506691cc096eafd4566c36852d0b2d241654e194bd8088c07bc06a1e974057

## === Exclude **** host names from proxy use - default value is true

Hi Sayana,

My understanding is you are trying to run a devtest testcase, this is where
the connect time out appears.
I also understand you have tested the connection earlier from AWS with a
curl statement.

A testcase would be executed inside a Simulator process. Can you confirm
that the Simulator process is running on the same host as the host from
which you tested with curl?

Cheers,
