CURL Error 363700 on compact rio

[PESobol]

Trying to send an SMTP email from a compact rio (with alarm information) and I get:

Error 363700 occurred at LabVIEWSMTPClient.lvlib:Send.vi:2280001.

Possible reason(s):

LabVIEW:  An internal error occurred when setting a CURL option.

Does anyone know what this means?

Well a quick check of Google shows that curl is a library or executable that sends email.

How is your send configured?

Can you send any emails?

Thanks- No, can't send any emails from the RIO, but the exact same code works from a desktop PC.  

There isn't much to configure for SMTP on port 25 - just the address of the server, sender email, to: address and message contents, its all pretty simple, that's why i'm stumped. (  I did upload the SMTP library to the cRIO (else it errors on the open handle.vi).  )

Oops, if the SMTP library is making calls to this CURL external code, it will be the x86 version of the code. That could be a problem...

Which RIO are you using? SMTP is not supported on VxWorks and only partially supported on Pharlap (http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/ACDA5B0F5940674B862572D1007D45EA)

Thanks for the response.  This is a CRIO 9704 running VXworks.

[PESobol]

Thanks for the response - as SMTP is not supported, any ideas of a workaround or alternative?

Is the crio connected to a pc? If so you could create a separate process there that does nothing but send emails. The crio would then pass the data up to the pc and get a status back.

That's what i'm doing. but that creates more potential points of failure.  Given that these are critical alarms the design philosophy is to keep it as close to the hardware as possible. 

[mikeporter]

OK, I get that, but regardless of how close you get the email to the crio, you're still talking about email -- not particularly noted for its reliability is critical situations

It would seem that the potential failure is a lot higher between the pc and the email server, than it would be between the pc and the crio.
