My end game is to POST to Jira to create issues, but I couldn't connect to the server, so I stripped my testing back to a public GET with no authentication. But I'm still strugglying to get it to work.

 

With the URL https://httpbin.org/get I tested the connection in Web Request... but I still get the error 'Cannot connect to server.' What am I doing wrong?

can you reach the URL from a browser?

looks like something is blocking you to access it

I can.

I'm new to Nintex so didn't know if it was something I was doing wrong with the request. I've raised this to our internal SharePoint team to look at.

 

Thanks!

note the action is being sent and executed on the server, so URL should be accessible from the server.

 

 

what about if you try with some well known site, eg. google? or a site within your network - may even be your SP site?

I tried https//:google.com and got the same 'Cannot connect to server' error.

 

I tried the home page of my SP site and this time the error was 'Request failed with status: FORBIDDEN'. Perhaps this was more sucessful, but doesn't satisfy a GET request?

I guess that's auth issue - provide username and pwd for your SP site as well

Same forbidden error even with my SP credentials.

I'd suggest to get in contact with you SP and/or network admins.

there seem to be policies that blocks your conenctions.
