Bad URL rewriting on redirect

We're having a problem with URL rewriting when we call a
response.sendRedirect(). We're forcing the system to maintain session
through the URL (NoCookie=1) and it usually works fine, but on redirects
the session info is added with the & code instead of simply a &, which
sometimes leads to lose the session or other params. Has anybody a solution
or idea for this?
We're using iAS 6.0 SP2 for Win NT and this is a sample of a rewritten URL:
http://server/nasapp/app/servlet?hidPage=1&GXHC_gx_session_id_=72f76904d

Another bug in iAS Sp2 .....
URL based session tracking doesn't work properly in iAS sp2 (one of my many
case tracker issues are dedicated to this irritating bug). The bug that I
found appeared when performing an form post using method=post to a servlet.
Then I get a HTTP error 402 (unauthorized).
The problem should be fixed is SP3, just like a hole heap of other bugs.

  • IIS 7.5 URL Rewrite: Hit specific page of a web application but should be redirected to another application's page

    I have deployed 2 different web application on IIS 7.5 running on Windows Server 2008 R2 but on different port numbers i.e. one application deployed on port no. 1776 and another on 8091. I want to rewrite URL in such a way that if i hit any page of first
    application such as default.aspx then it will be redirected to particular page of another application along with some changes in url.
    Example: if i access any page from first application like:
    http://g2wv126rbsc:1776/sites/main/commercial/commercial-solutions/financing/default1.aspx
    then it should redirect to specific page of another application along with some changes in url:
    http://g2wv126rbsc:8091/main/commercial/commercial-solutions/financing/default2.aspx
    Note: In above mentioned url, also removed "sites".
    I tried to create a inbound rule through URL Rewrite module (installed on IIS 7.5) by selecting Action as "Rewrite" but didn't find any success.
    I need some examples if anyone has come across same kind of issue.
    Thanks in advance.

  • URL-rewriting not working with redirect/

    I couldn't find an answer to the following problem in any of the threads:
    When navigating between pages via internal forwards, I can safely turn off cookies in my browser; the session id will be written into the requested URL, and so session state is being maintained properly. But when I use <redirect/> in a navigation rule in faces-config.xml to force Faces to redirect the request to the target page via an HTTP redirect, the URL is not being rewritten properly - the session id is missing, and so session state is not being maintained. This results in the loss of all user/session specific data for the current browser session.
    I suspect that using <redirect/> results in the Faces Lifecycle being terminated by calling responseComplete() before rendering the view, and that at this point, instead of calling encodeRedirectURL() before redirecting, the URL is being redirected without being rewritten to contain the session id.
    My question thus are: Is my suspicion correct? And is there any solution to this problem?

    What I forgot to mention: I'm using Sun's RI of JSF running on Tomcat 5.0.19.
    Any help is appreciated!

  • ColdFusion with IIS URL Rewrite - Page never finishes loading

    I am running CF10 on IIS 7.5 with URL Rewrite module installed.
    All the rewrite rules work perfectly and ColdFusion is returning the correct pages. In order to get the page displayed in the browser I have to manually set the 'content-length' value in Application.cfc like this:
    <cfcomponent>
    <cffunction name="onRequestEnd">
    <cfheader name="Content-Length" value="#getPageContext().getCFOutput().getBuffer().size()#" />
    </cffunction>
    </cfcomponent>
    Without this code the browser does not display the page. However, even though it is now displaying the page, it is not doing it correctly. The page never finishes loading fully and not all of the HTML content seems to be on the page.
    I have tried to add a <cfflush> tag after setting the 'content-length' but it makes no difference. I don't understand why this is happening but I know that it has happened to someone else who was using htaccess: http://forums.devshed.com/coldfusion-development-84/page-not-finishing-loading-coldfusion- and-htaccess-bug-575906.html

  • IIS Reverse Proxy with URL rewrite.

    Hi all, hoping to leverage the wealth of knowledge contained here.
    Any assistance would be very welcome.
    I'm having an issue getting a reverse proxy and URL rewrite working in IIS 7.0.
    I need to redirect all requests with a specific virtual directory suffix only.
    ie; https://domain.test.com/outbound/Content/query_etc
    With /Outbound/ being the trigger.
    This should be redirected to http://10.10.10.10/inbound/Content/query_etc
    While at the same time, requests without the /outbound/ suffix should be handled locally.
    I have configured the reverse proxy as described in a few articles, and have had no luck.
    Here's a snippet from my (sanitized) web.config at the site level.
    <rewrite>
    <outboundRules>
    <rule name="ReverseProxyOutboundRule1" preCondition="ResponseIsHtml1">
    <match filterByTags="A" pattern="^http(s)?://10.10.10.10/inbound/(.*)" />
    <action type="Rewrite" value="https://domain.test.com/outbound/{R:2}" />
    </rule>
    <preConditions>
    <preCondition name="ResponseIsHtml1">
    <add input="{RESPONSE_CONTENT_TYPE}" pattern="^text/html" />
    </preCondition>
    </preConditions>
    </outboundRules>
    <rules>
    <rule name="ReverseProxyInboundRule1" stopProcessing="true">
    <match url="^outbound/(.*)" />
    <action type="Rewrite" url="http://10.10.10.10/inbound/{R:1}" appendQueryString="true" logRewrittenUrl="false" />
    </rule>
    </rules>
    </rewrite>
    To me, this looks correct, yet it doesn't work.
    With this, I get the normal 404 - Error Code 0x80070002, with the text indicating the local directory doesn't exist, so.... not being picked up by the filter for redirection.

    Hi Andrew,
    Looking at your requirements it appears you need Reverse Proxy To Another Site/Server.
    By using URL Rewrite Module together with
    Application Request Routing module you can have IIS 7 act as a
    reverse proxy.
    It seems like URL Rewrite can't re-route the request somewhere else out of the server.
    Even when you rewrite the url the actual connection remains with the server. Hence if your original server doesn't have /inbound/Content/query_etc  it will fail with 404.
    Hosting multiple domain names under a single account using URL Rewrite.
    It’s a common desire to have a single IIS website that handles multiple sites with different domain names.

  • URL Rewrite Rule: HTTP to HTTPS Not Working

    Here is my problem. I cannot get HTTP to HTTPS redirect to work using the URL Rewrite module. I am using version 2, by the way, which I understand is the latest version. I've also enabled the "Proxy Server" and Application Request Routing"
    features.
    I've trolled through the Internet for 2 days now for solutions to my problem, including the ones provided by the TechNet forums and by MVP Scott Forsyth. I've tried over 30 solutions, and none have resolved my issue. Granted some of the solutions I've tried
    may have been repeats of others. After trying so many, I have had a hard time discerning the differences. Does it really matter, for instance if the pattern match for the {HTTPS} input is specified as
    "^off$" or just "off"? I see this discrepancy (among others) everywhere. It seems like there are so many variations out there. It is quite confusing for the uninitiated and the newbies like myself to the
    URL Rewrite technology. I have enabled and consulted my "Failed Request Tracing Rules" logs but cannot make any sense of the cryptic information it is providing.
    I just cannot get my reverse proxy server to redirect http requests from the Internet to https to my internal web server. When a user specifies "https://server1.xxxxx.com". he is able to access the internal server via the reverse proxy (IIS) server.
    But when he specifies "http://server1.xxxxx.com" he receives "Server Error 500 - Internal server error.There is a problem with the resource you are looking for, and it cannot be displayed."
    At this point I am at my wits end, and am even considering configuring the protocol translation on our firewall. But this not my preference as it presents another layer of complexity, and device to troubleshoot later on. Below I've pasted my entire web.config
    file with my most current version of the rule in question (in bold) for your review. I started to paste just the specific rule, but thought you might need to see the entire file in case something else may be conflicting with the rule.
    Thank you in advance for your help.

  • Content-Length header not changed after url-rewrite... yields cut page.

    We use iPlanet6 ,service pack 4. The pages that return from the servlets are
    changed by the Application Server. The Application Server adds
    GXHC_GX_jst=901a10a6662d6164& to the all the URLs (which increase the
    page's size). The problem is that Application Server does not change the
    Content-Length header in the servlet response. This yields cut pages in the
    browser (IExplorer5).
    If we don't add the Content-Length header it works fine. (I.e., The pages
    are not cut.) Our problem is that we work with mobile devices that must have
    the Content-Length header to work properly.
    Q: Do you know if there is a patch that fix the problem?
    Q: Is it possible to configure the Application Server to prevent this
    url-rewrite?

  • Using Tomcat URL rewrite valve

    http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-8.0-doc/rewrite.html
    Looks like the latest version of Tomcat has added support for URL rewriting similar to Apache mod_rewrite
    I can't seem to find any documentation other than the page above.
    Has anyone used this to, for example, rewrite APEX URLs from http://host:port/apex/... to http://host:port/pls/apex ?  Where should we put the RewriteCond and RewriteRule directives?
    Thanks

    I just went though this, spent about two days trying to figure out how to do with only tomcat and gave up.  I found and used urlrewrite..  The instructions are right on main page but are vague.  I've given "hints" below.  My info assumes you renamed ords.war to apex.war.   I tried to post full details of my exploits/trials/troubles using the Oracle blog but it errored out.
    http://tuckey.org/urlrewrite/
    Step 1 say to place the file in WEB-INF/lib.  For Tomcat, WEB-INF is the Tomcat application directory, mine was /opt/apache-tomcat-7.0.56.   Place in the <tomcat_app_dir>/lib directory.
    Step 2 says to edit the web.xml file, adding the config text for urlrewrite.  This file is located in <tomcat_app_dir>/ROOT/WEB-INF  Copy text and paste just above the </web-app> tag at the bottom of the <tomcat_app_dir>/ROOT/WEB-INF/web.xml file.
    Step 3 talks about editing urlrewite.xml file, which doesn't exist.  You must create this file, in the same directory, <tomcat_app_dir>/ROOT/WEB-INF. The following is the contents of mine.
    <urlrewrite use-query-string="true">
                    <note>
                     rewrite from /pls/apex to pls
                    </note>
           <rule>
                <from>/pls/apex/f\?p(.*)</from>
                <to type="redirect">/apex/f?p$1</to>
            </rule>
    </urlrewrite>
    You can check that urlrewite is working by accessing the admin/test page from the localhost....<servername>:8080/rewrite-status.  The page shows you the rule and what it thinks it's going to do.
    You now need to restart Tomcat and your old URL <servername>/pls/apex should work for your users who have bookmarked your old apex apps.  It works for the new URL as well:  <servername>/apex
    I noticed you are also referencing port numbers in your sample url.  Take a look at this blog post below, specifically step 6 and 7 to learn how to redirect to 80, so you don't have to use a port.

  • Web dispatcher url Rewritting to several sap systems

    Hello SAP NW Community,
    we need a reverse Proxy to achieve   application of different SAP System via Internet. We desided to use web Dispatcher.
    The host names of sap systems should not be visible,  because of this we create the following URL Rewritting rules.
    For example:
    AAA, BBB and CCC are sap System SIDs;
    "wdisp.company.com" is the FQDN fron webdispatcher
    The "icm_filter" Looks like this:
    if% {HTTP_HOST} RegIMatch "wdisp.company.com"[and]
    If% {PATH} RegIMatch "AAA"
    RegIRewriteUrl ^/AAA/(.*)  /$1 [noescape]
    SetHeader x-sap-webDisp-target-sid AAA [break]
    the next rules are the same but for BBB and CCC.
    The idea is to rewrite in background all URLs such as:
    http(s)://wdisp.company.com/AAA/...
    to :
    http(s)://<FQDN from AAA>/...
    The result is always the same: the rewritting for AAA works fine but for BBB and CCC we get -http error 404.
    The results are independent from web browser(IE or Firefox).
    The http trace Tools- HttpWatch Basis or Firebug show also no rewritting  for BBB und CCC.
    According the documentation is web Dispatcher able to support  many "stateful" and "stateless"  connection to different backend sap System.
    Do you have any ideas why the rewritting works only for the first sap System?
    We tested with different browser and Browser sessions but the resul was the same.
    BR,
    Rumen

    Hi,
    Instead of PATH , use different pots like this, you can get the URL redirection,
    icm_filter.txt :
    if %{HTTP_HOST} regimatch wdhost.company.com* 
    SetHeader x-sap-webdisp-target-sid AAA [break]
    if %{HTTP_HOST} regimatch wdhost.company.com*
    SetHeader x-sap-webdisp-target-sid BBB [break]
    if %{HTTP_HOST} regimatch wdhost.company.com*
    SetHeader x-sap-webdisp-target-sid CCC [break]
    In Instance profile :
    wdisp/system_0 = SID=AAA,MSHOST= AAA.HostNane ,MSPORT=8111
    wdisp/system_1 = SID=BBB,MSHOST= BBB.Hostname ,MSPORT=8100
    wdisp/system_2 = SID=CCC,MSHOST= CCC.Hostname ,MSPORT=8101
    URL :
    http://wdhost.company.com:8111 --- goes to AAAhost and so on.

  • IIS Url Rewriting supported with SharePoint 2010?

    I am currently working for a client that is investigating how they can do vanity domain names for sub sites.  I don't believe this will actually work with SharePoint 2010 and believe it may put the environment in an unsupported state...however I need
    to find some sort of official MS statement saying so.
    Everything I find points me to
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc261814%28office.12%29.aspx#section2  which states that "Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 does not support asymmetrical paths" however I can't find anything that says the equivalent for 2010.
    I know that web apps and AAM are the typical approaches, and now in 2010 you can do host named site collections, however they want to do sub-sites.
    Can anyone point me to any official MS statement stating that this is not support with SharePoint 2010?
    Tony Testa www.tonytestasworld.com

    We ran into the same question. Since there's no official statement from Microsoft to be found on the internet that takes away the rumors about it being supported, we set out the question with Microsoft to provide their official statement. Their
    reply was that URL rewriting is supported. Find the full reply from Microsoft at my website at
    https://www.zomers.eu/knowledge/sharepoint2010/Pages/Url-rewriting-is-supported-for-SharePoint-2010.aspx
    This link doesn't work and also directly contradicts statements from other Microsoft sources, e.g.
    http://blogs.msdn.com/b/opal/archive/2010/04/23/sharepoint-2010-search-engine-optimization-seo-tips.aspx
    where the following is stated:
    "URL Rewriting is still not supported - however url redirect is supported. We are using url redirect feature in url rewrite model."
    Please provide a link that works and/or back up your claim. Thanks.

  • If user disable cookie how to set and use session with URL Rewritting

    if user disable cookie how to set and use session with URL Rewritting by append session ID in url

    If cookies are disabled, then app server will automatically try to use URL rewriting for session control. Programmer's responsibility is to encode any links or redirects using
    response.encodeURL("/yourPage.jsp")
    and
    response.encodeRedirectURL("/yourPage.jsp")
    See API for details
    http://java.sun.com/j2ee/sdk_1.3/techdocs/api/javax/servlet/http/HttpServletResponse.html#encodeURL(java.lang.String))

  • Please explain this about URL rewriting

    I am trying to write a simple example to understand URL rewriting...
    On Test1 Servlet in the doGet I have the following     
                   HttpSession session = req.getSession(true);
                   session.setAttribute("userid","123");
                   String url = resp.encodeURL("Test2.jsp");
                   System.out.println(url);
                   resp.sendRedirect(url);In the Test2.jsp I have the following
    <P>OK......</P>
    <%String id = (String)session.getAttribute("userid");%>
    <%=id%>Even though I see the URL being appended like
    http://localhost:9080/urlTest/Test2.jsp;jsessionid=00006O173z1PBf6mXOujvK25iJc:-1
    and I also see the result 123 on the screen...
    How do I know that its not using HttpSession and its using URL rewriting?

    The call to encodeURL is what is putting the "jsessionid" section into the URL. That is what it is using to maintain the session.
    So it IS using HTTPSession, but the sessionid is being maintained via URL rewriting, rather than with a session cookie.
    As an experiment, take out the call to "resp.encodeURL()" and see what the result is.
    Also, if you are using the url to redirect to, you should be using the method response.encodeRedirectURL. The rules for encoding a url being used as a redirect are slightly different from one being used as a link on a page.

  • Unable of keep session using url rewriting tomcat

    Hi everybody,
    I have an application which communicates with a servlet. I am trying to use session tracking for my midp application with the url rewriting technique because of simplicity. I have tomcat 4.0.3 and MIDP 2.0. I had forced the use of url rewriting including this line into the server.xml file from tomcat:
    <Context path="/webappname" debug="0" cookies="false" docBase="webappname"/>
    This should force url rewriting, but when i call the method encodeURL in my servlet i only get a void
    string. I know this isnt the best forum for this, but i have to try ;-). Any suggestion? all comments will be wellcomed, but please i dont want to use cookies and the rms api.
    Thanks.

    Are you aware that the MIDlet's networking won't support cookies or redirections automatically, and that you have to code that yourself: reading the "set-cookie" header and saving it for later, or catching redirection response codes (3xx) and changing the url accordingly?

  • Cookies, URL-Rewriting, and Sessions

    Hi All,
    I am aware that this is probably a question that has been asked many times in the past. Nonetheless, I have not been able to fully comprehend the differences. Therefore I would appreciate it, if someone could kindly spend some time explaining the differences between the three and when each would be the most preferred solution. ( cookies, url rewriting and sessions )
    So far what I understand is that, cookies can be used to store small amounts of data not more than 4kb, and that most browsers can not accept more than 20 at a time.... but would it be correct to say that the data is stored within the http headers ?
    URL rewriting, on the other hand is a method which can be used if cookies have been disabled by a browser. The 'session id' is appended to the url, and used to remember the data. ( how ? ). Although, it does mean that the programmer has to be very careful and ensure that rewriting occurs everytime it is passed to the browser, including redirection. ( whatever that means ? )
    Http sessions, seem to be the best solution out of the three ( but if this is the case, why are cookies and rewriting still hanging around today ? And even being taught at universities ? ). Also, they work on top of cookies and if these have been disabled sessions will not work !! ....
    As you can see ( from the above ) I do not have a thorough understanding of the three methods, especially if it comes to specifying the differences between the three.
    I would appreciate an explanation.

    HttpSessions use cookies or url rewritting to pass the session id which the server uses to associate a particular session with a particular request. A well developed web application will be written to use url rewriting when a client has cookies disabled. That being said I yet to see such a web application and personally believe that few people still disable cookies.
    Cookies still have uses.
    Persistant cookies are used to store data that needs to persist between sessions. This data is stored by the browser in a text files and passed to the server in the header. An example of this would be a site that offers personalization would store the user's id so that each time the user accesses the site he would see his personalization without being required to log in. Yahoo is a good example.
    In memory cookies are stored in the browser's memory and is used to store temporary data that goes away when the browser closes. Again this data gets passed to the server in the headers. Temporary cookies can be used to pass data between seperate web applications runing on the same host where storing the data in the session will not because each application has it's own session.

  • URL rewriting in Weblogic JSP

    [att1.html]
              

    Hi,
              I believe that you will have to use encodeURL for any URL in your HTML
              output. Actually, I believe that this is something that you should
              always do regardless of whether or not you are using URL rewriting
              (i.e., it is good programming style)...
