Hello,
 
I am working on a project where we are sending text notifications to Cisco IP phones
via a SOAP POST XML request to the phone (/CGI/Execute).

This XML application deployed in CUCM 7.x works without any issue, but
for CUCM 8.x I see ConnectException when I try to getOutputStream as shown in code below:


final String url = "http://" + ipAddress + "/CGI/Execute";
URL netUrl = new URL(url);

connection = (HttpURLConnection) netUrl.openConnection();
// We are able to get the connection for 9971 series (cucm 8.xx)

                  connection.setRequestMethod("POST");
                  connection.setRequestProperty("Content-type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
                  connection.setRequestProperty("Authorization", "Basic " + enc);
                  connection.setUseCaches(false);
                  connection.setRequestProperty("Accept", "text/xml");
                  connection.setDoInput(true);
                  connection.setDoOutput(true);
//This line throws the ConnectException for cucm 8.x but workd fine for cucm 7.xx
                  OutputStream outputStream = connection.getOutputStream();

I also tried testing with

curl <phone ip_address>

and I see Connection Exception once the phone is registered to cucm 8.x and curl works fine once we

unregister the phone from 8.x and register it with 7.x

Regards
Surbhi

The web server should be active 'cause when I register this phone with cucm 7.x the Notification works fine
