HTTP problem

[lieuwe]

All,

I am trying to run the Series_60_DP_2_0_HTTP_Client_Example_v1_0 example. On the emulator it runs no problem, does a nice HTTP request. If I install it on the phone (N95-8GB) and run it, the dialog where you select your access point pops up, but whatever you select there (be it the GPRS connections or search for LANs) causes the MHFRunL method to be called immediately with the event status being -5120. What does this code mean? (and I can use the GPRS/search for LAN's etc from other apps fine)

-5120 No response from DNS server

You can lookup the error code from here: http://www.newlc.com/Symbian-OS-Error-Codes.html

[A.A.M.]

//Domain Name Daemon Error Codes
-5120
KErrDndNameNotFound
Returned when no data found for GetByName

You can download the error codes spreadsheet from here - http://developer.symbian.com/main/do...odesLatest.zip

Looks like you have problems with DNS settings on the phone.

As rightly pointed above that -5120 error code means that device was unable resolve the hostname you mentioned in your url. It can be issue with your URL or your data service settings.

Try hitting the url from the device's native browser to see if your data services settings are fine.

Hope that helps,

How odd. If I just use the web browser on the same phone I can call the URL no problem (both on GPRS and wlan).

Thing is, when the "select access point" menu pops up and I select "search for wlan" should it not first do that (the menu where it searches for WLAN's and then you pick one) instead of immediately giving me this 5120 error? Almost sounds like this DNS thing is a red herring.

On a sidenode, if I have an established WLAN connection going, should my app still ask me which accesspoint to use (instead of using the open one by default)?

Thanks for thinking.

In case anyone has the same problem. I finally cracked it. I didn't have the

CAPABILITY NetworkServices

set in my MMP file. That solved the problem.
