HTTP Request Timeout and No Response on Preview – Issue Persisting Despite Reinstallation

Hi everyone,

I’m currently facing an issue with the HTTP Request activity in UiPath Studio. Whenever I try to Preview or Run a request, it keeps loading indefinitely and eventually times out, even after increasing the timeout duration in seconds.

This issue started around 3 days ago and is affecting all HTTP requests, including those that were working perfectly fine before. I’ve tried the following steps to troubleshoot:

  • Deleted and reinstalled the Web Activities package
  • Reinstalled UiPath Studio
  • Cleared temporary files in the installation location

Unfortunately, none of these resolved the problem.

Interestingly, when I try the same workflows on another system, everything works fine and I receive the expected responses. This leads me to believe the issue might be specific to my machine.

Has anyone else experienced this? Any suggestions or solutions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Hi @ananthakrishnan

Are you using the same user/bot account on another machine to run the workflows or a different one?

Also, can you check if any firewalls are blocking htto traffic on your machine

Could you also confirm if your project is legacy or windows version?

@ananthakrishnan

looking at the issue looks like firewalls are blockign it..check the same..may be there is an ip restrcition

cheers

Hi @sonaliaggarwal47,

It is different account and I’m currently using Windows version .

@Anil_G
How to check if the firewalls blocking is there, if so how to disable it :frowning:

@ananthakrishnan

Run your process and then go check the logs in event viewer. Check both system as well as application level logs in there for your process run timestamp

@ananthakrishnan

Your network team can help you

Aternately try pinging the url you are using in cmd

Cheers
