Net.HTTP.request() times out – error -2111762429

Post by robert_2 »

I'm developing a dynamic PDF stamp that uses Net.HTTP.request() to access a REST API.

The API endpoint itself works correctly. When I open the exact same URL in a browser, the request takes a long time, but eventually completes successfully and returns the expected JSON response.

However, when the same request is made through PDF-XChange Editor's JavaScript API:

Net.HTTP.request(params);

the request consistently fails after approximately 30 seconds.

The response handler receives:

e = {
error: -2111762429,
msg: ""
}

My question is:

Is there any way to increase the HTTP/network timeout used by Net.HTTP.request() in PDF-XChange Editor?

I could not find a documented timeout, cTimeout, or similar parameter for Net.HTTP.request().

I am aware of the JavaScript execution timeout setting (i.ExecTimeout), but as far as I understand, this controls JavaScript execution rather than the timeout of the underlying HTTP request.

Hello, robert_2

I cannot promise this is possible, but I have raised the inquiry with the Dev team to see if there is an option.

Kind regards,
