Error code 1181 from DataSocketRead

[Harry_Sundberg]

I am using LabVIEW 2012 and trying to do a simple read of HTML data from a website. I get an 1181 error, which indicates that I have an incorrect format for my URL.  I used http://ni.com, http://www.ni.com, www.ni.com and ni.com. All URLs created an 1181 error.

Hi Harry, can you send the VI so we can test it?

apparently you did exactly as shown here: http://www.ni.com/white-paper/3224/en/#toc5

So it should work....

Regards,

Marco

Apologies, I have attached the vi. I am using Labview 2013 on a Mac.

The vi was an example - Read_Website_HTML.vi

Hello Harry,

Where are you putting the URL that is causing the error? On the front panel using the VI you are referencing, I put http://www.ni.com in the URL box and didn't receive an error as you can see below

Is this what you're doing to receive the error?

Regards,

hi

I had the same problem, and finally it is the "s" of hhtps in the URL that causes this error, so just write "http: //" instead of "https: //" to remidier to this problem
I hope this will help you
thank you
