How to set up ACL for UTL_HTTP to Google site?

LaurySep 29 2016 — edited Oct 16 2016

Hi,

I am working with Oracle RDBMS 12c, but the original application has been migrated from 11gR2 to 12c.

I have a procedure that send and receive information using JASON protocol to and from Google:

create or replace function google_geocode( p_address varchar2 ) return sdo_geometry is

l_http_req  utl_http.req;

l_http_resp utl_http.resp;

l_response long;

l_latlon long;

begin

l_http_req := utl_http.begin_request(

   url => 'http://maps.google.com/maps/geo' ||

          '?q=' || utl_url.escape( p_address ) ||  -- address to geocode

          '&output=csv' ||                         -- simplest return type

          '&key=abcdef' );                         -- Google API site key

l_http_resp := utl_http.get_response( l_http_req );

utl_http.read_text( l_http_resp, l_response );

utl_http.end_response( l_http_resp );

l_latlon := substr( l_response, instr( l_response, ',', 1, 2 ) + 1 );

return sdo_geometry(

          2001, 8307,

          sdo_point_type( to_number( substr( l_latlon, instr( l_latlon, ',' )+1 )),

                          to_number( substr( l_latlon, 1, instr( l_latlon, ',' )-1 )),

                          null ),

          null, null );

end google_geocode;

/

I get the following error when I use this function:

select google_geocode('1910 Oracle Way, Reston' ) g from dual;

select google_geocode('1910 Oracle Way, Reston' ) g from dual

       *

ERROR at line 1:

ORA-29273: HTTP request failed

ORA-06512: at "SYS.UTL_HTTP", line 1130

ORA-12543: TNS:destination host unreachable

ORA-06512: at "SYS.GOOGLE_GEOCODE", line 8

It has somethiing to do with security and ACL that is different from 11g I guess.

Does someone can explain met hoow to set the ACL privileges for the user from which I run this PL/SQL function?

Thanks by advance for any tip.

Kind Regards
