Part 1 || ORA-06512: at "SYS.UTL_HTTP", line 1130 ORA-24247: network access denied by access control list (ACL)

As salamualikum (islamic greetings), brothers and sisters. :)

  Hope you are well with the grace of Almighty Allah (swt)

If you confirm about creating Oracle Database ACL (Access Control List ) for 11g and higher,

and getting following error for calling a web service or web address, then this solution if for you.

Error

Error starting at line : 1 in command -
begin
PROC_URL_CALL;
end ;
Error report -
ORA-29273: HTTP request failed
ORA-06512: at "SYS.UTL_HTTP", line 1130
ORA-24247: network access denied by access control list (ACL)
ORA-06512: at "HR.PROC_URL_CALL", line 8
ORA-06512: at line 2
29273. 00000 -  "HTTP request failed"
*Cause:    The UTL_HTTP package failed to execute the HTTP request.
*Action:   Use get_detailed_sqlerrm to check the detailed error message.
           Fix the error and retry the HTTP request.

Where PROC_URL_CALL have the following code,

create or replace PROCEDURE PROC_URL_CALL AS

  l_url            VARCHAR2(500) := 'http://allieditbd.com';
  l_http_request   UTL_HTTP.req;
  l_http_response  UTL_HTTP.resp;
BEGIN
  -- Make a HTTP request and get the response.
  l_http_request  := UTL_HTTP.begin_request(l_url);
  l_http_response := UTL_HTTP.get_response(l_http_request);
  UTL_HTTP.end_response(l_http_response);
END;

and calling the procedure ,

begin
PROC_URL_CALL;
end ;

There is no error in the ACL creation, issue in the procedure where we set default value for url.

remove the http:// and add www.

Now the code will be

create or replace PROCEDURE PROC_URL_CALL AS

  l_url            VARCHAR2(500) := 'www.allieditbd.com';
  l_http_request   UTL_HTTP.req;
  l_http_response  UTL_HTTP.resp;
BEGIN
  -- Make a HTTP request and get the response.
  l_http_request  := UTL_HTTP.begin_request(l_url);
  l_http_response := UTL_HTTP.get_response(l_http_request);
  UTL_HTTP.end_response(l_http_response);
END;

Now run call the procedure

begin
PROC_URL_CALL;
end ;

and you will get

PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.

Thanks for reading the post and congratulation on your success.
