ORA-29273: HTTP request failed

Madhusudhan_Rao-OracleNov 28 2023 — edited Nov 29 2023

I have installed Oracle Database 23c on OEL along with Oracle APEX on a compute instance. Using Oracle APEX, I have AutoREST enabled a view for a GET Operation. I can run the REST URL through POSTMAN (GET Operation) or VSCode REST Client without any issues.

However, when I use Oracle APEX PL/SQL to call this REST API, it throws the ORA-29273: HTTP request failed error. Please advise on how to resolve this.

Test Case

  • 158.101.x.y is the public IP address of Compute Instance.
  • my23cdbhostname.sub03161254111.indvcn.oraclevcn.com is Hostname
  • Port 8080 is Open
  • Server is running on cloud over HTTP and no HTTPS.

Case 1: Tested thought VSCode REST Thunder Client

http://158.101.x.y:8080/ords/graphuser/driver_dv/ (This works)

Case 2: Tested using Postman Web or just web browser like Chrome

http://158.101.x.y:8080/ords/graphuser/driver_dv/ (This works)

Case 3: Terminal window of iMac

curl -i -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X GET "http://158.101.x.y:8080/ords/graphuser/driver_dv/"

(This works)

The below cases does not work.

Using Oracle APEX Navigation → Oracle APEX -> SQL Workshop -> SQL Commands

Case 4:

SELECT UTL_HTTP.REQUEST(url => 'http://158.101.x.y:8080/ords/graphuser/driver_dv') FROM dual;

ORA-29273: HTTP request failed

Case 5:

SELECT UTL_HTTP.REQUEST(url => 'http://my23cdbhostname.sub03161254111.indvcn.oraclevcn.com:8080/ords/graphuser/driver_dv/') FROM dual;

ORA-29273: HTTP request failed

Case 6:

declare  

l_rest_url varchar2(1000) := 'http://158.101.x.y:8080/ords/graphuser/driver_dv'; 

l_body varchar2(32000) ;

begin  

 apex_web_service.g_request_headers.DELETE; 

 apex_web_service.g_request_headers(1).name := 'Content-Type'; 

 apex_web_service.g_request_headers(1).value := 'application/json'; 

 l_body := apex_web_service.make_rest_request(  

 p_url => l_rest_url,

 p_http_method => 'GET' 

 ); 

end;

Error Message

RA-29273: HTTP request failed

ORA-06512: at "APEX_230100.WWV_FLOW_WEB_SERVICES", line 1325

ORA-06512: at "APEX_230100.WWV_FLOW_WEB_SERVICES", line 897

Case 7: How to access REST API running on Oracle Database 23c from Oracle APEX Instance running on Oracle Autonomous Database?

Kindly Advise, how to resolve this.
