This error can occur for various reasons, and understanding the cause is essential for troubleshooting.
  Possible Causes:
  
  Network Issues: There may be network connectivity problems between the SAP system and the target server (e.g., a web service or API).
  Incorrect URL: The URL being accessed may be incorrect or malformed.
  SSL/TLS Issues: If the connection is over HTTPS, there may be issues with SSL certificates, such as expired or untrusted certificates.
  Firewall Restrictions: Firewalls may be blocking the outgoing HTTP requests from the SAP system.
  Proxy Configuration: If a proxy is required to access the internet, it may not be configured correctly in the SAP system.
  Server Unavailability: The target server may be down or not reachable.
  Timeouts: The request may be timing out due to slow network conditions or server response times.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check Network Connectivity: Ensure that the SAP system can reach the target server. You can use tools like ping or telnet to test connectivity.
  Verify the URL: Double-check the URL being used in the HTTP request to ensure it is correct.
  SSL Configuration: If using HTTPS, verify that the SSL certificates are valid and properly configured in the SAP system. You may need to import the server's certificate into the SAP trust store.
  Firewall Settings: Check firewall settings to ensure that they allow outbound connections to the target server.
  Proxy Settings: If a proxy is needed, ensure that the proxy settings are correctly configured in the SAP system. This can be done in transaction SM59 (RFC Destinations).
  Check Server Status: Verify that the target server is up and running and can accept requests.
  Increase Timeout Settings: If timeouts are an issue, consider increasing the timeout settings in the HTTP client configuration.
  
  Related Information:
