Error while using libsoup

I am writing a client using libsoup APIs. I have done the following.

session = soup_session_sync_new();

msg =  soup_message_new("GET","http://www.google.com"); 

status = soup_session_send_message(session,msg);`

However now i am getting the following error code in status. I print the reason phrase and it says the status= 4 , msg->reason_phrase = Cannot connect to destination

How do i resolve this issue?

Solution

  • The problem was i use a proxy server to connect to internet. Hence i needed to set the session object property of SOUP_SESSION_PROXY_URI with the proxy-sever:port value. It works fine now. Time to test POST method now.
