system.net.httpGet() doesn't Time out or Error

Hi all,

I am seeing a strange behaviour when trying to execute sytem.net.httpGet() function on a Ignition 7.9.8 with Java version 1.8.0_66, Windows Server 2019 Standard x64.

I've been testing this from the script console with a simple get from the local gateway homepage.

system.net.httpGet("http://localhost:8088/main/web/home?1")

However, if I deliberately feed in an invalid URL, say:

system.net.httpGet("http://http://localhost:8088/main/web/home?1")

The script console would just stay in the executing state as if it's caught in an infinite loop.

If I do the same thing on my local gateway with the same Ignition and Java version I'd get a fault straight away.

The ultimate goal is to do a HTTP get from a 3rd party device which so far it hasn't worked either. It exhibit the same behaviour of "stuck in a loop" when I try to execute the function with the URL to the device, even though I am able to read the data using cURL in Windows Command with the same device URL.

I am also not seeing any fault logged in the wrapper log either...

Any suggestion would be much appreciated.

Thanks.

Found the problem. Java network setting was set to Use browser settings on a server that had security policy set up…
