Http status code 503

Hello,

I'm trying to connect with my server but its getting code 503 and the request never reaches the server.

What's that mean?

These are the requests I've implemented:

llHTTPRequest("http://myserver:8080",[HTTP_METHOD,"POST", HTTP_MIMETYPE,"application/x-www-form-urlencoded"],"msg="+message);

llHTTPRequest("http://myserver:8080",[HTTP_METHOD,"GET"],"";

Both returns 503 status.

Any help thanks in advance.

It means your server is refusing to process the request because of some supposedly temporary internal situation. Check with your server admin to see if he/she can correct it for you.

Make sure you are using the correct service port, too. 8080 is usually a proxy port.

Here's the specific info on the error:

503 Service Unavailable

The server is currently unable to handle the request due to a temporary overloading or maintenance of the server. The implication is that this is a temporary condition which will be alleviated after some delay. If known, the length of the delay MAY be indicated in a Retry-After header. If no Retry-After is given, the client SHOULD handle the response as it would for a 500 response.

Hi there


I'm working from home, I've developed a servlet in my Tomcat and I've tried to access from a browser, it works fine.

Is it possible to connect from any land or the avatar that establishes the connection must be the owner ?

If you can, see if you can use a web browser to get to your server, but from *outside* your network. Freind's house or library or internet cafe'.

Is your server behind a NAT router? If so, have you pointed incomming port 8080 connections to the machine running the server?

HTTP Requests can be made from any script, and are regardless of owner.

If your server is there at home and it is behind a firewall, that may be your problem.

Can anyone else outside of your home (like a friend out on the internet) hit your server with a browser? If so, then it may be a SL issue with port 8080. Try putting it on a different port. If not, then you have firewall/router issues, or server setup issues.
