UTL_HTTP Usage with OAS V. 4 = OAS Lockup

Hi:

We are currently having some problems with an PL/SQL app that is using the UTL_HTTP package. We are using Oracle 8.0.5 and OAS 4.0 on a NT box. We have one PL/SQL package that uses UTL_HTTP to communicate with another component. The location of this second component is flexible - sometimes it resides on a different machine and sometimes it resides on the same machine as the calling package. When the second component resides on the same machine as the calling package, OAS locks up and we usually end up having to restart the server. We have tested the application using various configurations 1) 8.0.4 and OWS 2.1, 2) 8.0.4 and OAS 3.0.1 and 3) 8.0.5 and OAS 3.0.1 and it works. I know using a HTTP call to communicate between PL/SQL packages on the same machine is a poor solution -- I've corrected this problem in the app's next version which is currently going through testing - but we were still sort of surprised that it didn't work using OAS 4.0.

Has anyone had any experience in this area?

Thanks.

Dick Hirsch
