Changing http headers using handlers

Is there anyway to access and set http headers using handlers? I took a look at the documentation and wasn't able to find a way to modify the http headers. Only SOAP related stuff. Need to go more low level.

Access the header by getting the HttpServletRequest object as follows:
handleRequest(MessageContext mc)
Object obj = mc.getProperty("weblogic.webservice.transport.http.request");
if(obj != null && obj instanceof javax.servlet.ServletRequest) {
request = (HttpServletRequest) obj;
request.getHeader("Name of Header");
That'll get you the request header.
I'd imagine you could do the same in a handleResponse method if what your trying to do is set a response header.

Generate PDF using Managed Bean with custom HTTP headers

Background
Generate a report in various formats (e.g., PDF, delimited, Excel, HTML, etc.) using JDeveloper 11g Release 2 (11.1.2.3.0) upon clicking an af:commandButton. See also the StackOverflow version of this question:
http://stackoverflow.com/q/13654625/59087
Problem
HTTP headers are being sent twice: once by the framework and once by a bean.
Source Code
The source code includes:
- Button Action
- Managed Bean
- Task Flow
Button Action
The button action:
<af:commandButton text="Report" id="submitReport" action="Execute" />
Managed Bean
The Managed Bean is fairly complex. The code to `responseComplete` is getting called, however it does not seem to be called sufficiently early to prevent the application framework from writing the HTTP headers.
HTTP Response Header Override
* Sets the HTTP headers required to indicate to the browser that the
* report is to be downloaded (rather than displayed in the current
* window).
protected void setDownloadHeaders() {
HttpServletResponse response = getServletResponse();
response.setHeader( "Content-Description", getContentDescription() );
response.setHeader( "Content-Disposition", "attachment, filename="
+ getFilename() );
response.setHeader( "Content-Type", getContentType() );
response.setHeader( "Content-Transfer-Encoding",
getContentTransferEncoding() );
Issue Response Complete
The bean indirectly tells the framework that the response is handled (by the bean):
getFacesContext().responseComplete();
Bean Run and Configure
public void run() {
try {
Report report = getReport();
configure(report.getParameters());
report.run();
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
private void configure(Parameters p) {
p.put(ReportImpl.SYSTEM_REPORT_PROTOCOL, "http");
p.put(ReportImpl.SYSTEM_REPORT_HOST, "localhost");
p.put(ReportImpl.SYSTEM_REPORT_PORT, "7002");
p.put(ReportImpl.SYSTEM_REPORT_PATH, "/reports/rwservlet");
p.put(Parameters.PARAM_REPORT_FORMAT, "pdf");
p.put("report_cmdkey", getReportName());
p.put("report_ORACLE_1", getReportDestinationType());
p.put("report_ORACLE_2", getReportDestinationFormat());
Task Flow
The Task Flow calls Execute, which refers to the bean's `run()` method:
entry -> main -> Execute -> ReportBeanRun
Where:
<method-call id="ReportBeanRun">
<description>Executes a report</description>
<display-name>Execute Report</display-name>
<method>#{reportBean.run}</method>
<outcome>
<fixed-outcome>success</fixed-outcome>
</outcome>
</method-call>
The bean is assigned to the `request` scope, with a few managed properties:
<control-flow-rule id="__3">
<from-activity-id>main</from-activity-id>
<control-flow-case id="ExecuteReport">
<from-outcome>Execute</from-outcome>
<to-activity-id>ReportBeanRun</to-activity-id>
</control-flow-case>
</control-flow-rule>
<managed-bean id="ReportBean">
<description>Executes a report</description>
<display-name>ReportBean</display-name>
<managed-bean-scope>request</managed-bean-scope>
</managed-bean>
The `<fixed-outcome>success</fixed-outcome>` strikes me as incorrect -- I don't want the method call to return to another task.
Restrictions
The report server receives requests from the web server exclusively. The report server URL cannot be used by browsers to download directly, for security reasons.
Error Messages
The error message that is generated:
Duplicate headers received from server
Error 349 (net::ERR_RESPONSE_HEADERS_MULTIPLE_CONTENT_DISPOSITION): Multiple distinct Content-Disposition headers received. This is disallowed to protect against HTTP response splitting attacks.Nevertheless, the report is being generated. Preventing the framework from writing the HTTP headers would resolve this issue.
Question
How can you set the HTTP headers in ADF while using a Task Flow to generate a PDF by calling a managed bean?
Ideas
Some additional ideas:
- Override the Page Lifecycle Phase Listener (`ADFPhaseListener` + `PageLifecycle`)
- Develop a custom Servlet on the web server

Thank you!

The problem was that the HTTP headers were in fact being written twice:
1. The report server was returning HTTP response headers.
2. The bean was including its own HTTP response headers (as shown in the question).
3. The bean was copying the entire contents of the report server response, including the headers, into the output stream.
Firefox ignored the duplicate header errors, but Google Chrome did not.

Setting HTTP headers when using xrpcc

I am using xrpcc to compile my WSDL and am using the resulting code to access my web service. When accessing a web service this way, is there any way that I can set HTTP headers before the method is invoked? If not, is the only option to build all of the SOAP requests by hand and ditch all of the nice things xrpcc does for me?
Along those same lines, is there any way to get a dump of the SOAP envelope that is being sent when the xrpcc generated methods are invoked?
Thanks.

Damn, I need to read the HTTP headers that came in along with the SOAP JAXRPC message. So it looks like a similar problem. And noone answers this question. Damn.

Using custom http headers in SOAP sender adapter

Hi,
my problem is exactly the same as reported [here|Re: SOAP Sender - Extract Header Values;] and [here|Variable Transport Binding - Soap Sender;
Basically I'd like to send through the soap sender adapter some custom http headers. I check the necessary options in the advanced tab (set adapter-specific message attributes and variable transport binding), and in the variable header one I put x-StoreCode, which is the same http header I send to PI.
But I won't see anything in the dynamic configuration section when the message is persisted in PI.
Very surprised that I've seen this issue is a common problem others have faced before without success.
Thanks!

Hi Michal,
the extra info I'm trying to send separated from the message is an http header, not part of the query string.
If I incorporate the extra info as a parameter to the query string like this, for example:
http://host:50000/XISOAPAdapter/MessageServlet?senderParty=&senderService=S1&receiverParty=&receiverService=&interface=Int&interfaceNamespace=urn:test&x-StoreCode=13&nosoap=true
Then I can see the value in the dynamic configuration section:
<SAP:Record namespace="http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/SOAP" name="SQueryString">senderParty=&senderService=S1&receiverParty=&receiverService=&interface=Int&interfaceNamespace=urn:test&x-StoreCode=13&nosoap=true</SAP:Record>
But what I'm trying to do shoould be possible, according to sap help:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwpi71/helpdata/en/fc/5ad93f130f9215e10000000a155106/content.htm (section Define Adapter-Specific Message Attributes)

Biztalk 2013 WCF-WebHTTP Adapter - Outbound HTTP Headers

Hi
I have a requirement to connect to a service using the WCF-WebHTTP adapter that requires authentication to be passed in the Headers.
A usercode and password is sent in the intial header and a security token is returned in the response header.
This security token is then used in the header of each subsequent call to the service.
I could not find anything in the documentation about getting and setting the "HTTP Header" data using maps or variables or using variables in the "Outbound HTTP Headers" on the adapter transport properties.
Any help on this would be gratefully received.
Malcolm

You can set the outbound HTTP header in WCF-WebHTTP adapter by 2 ways
1) At adapter level Change adapter properties
2)Changing Message context property at Orchestration or at pipeline
Its been well documented here

XI HTTP headers

Hi,
I'm using XI to request a non-xml third party webservice. This webservice requires a normal https POST with a parameter called "p". This allows for a simple form on a browser to be able to use it.
When the request is done by a regular browser like Firefox, everything goes ok and I get a normal response from the webservice. But when XI does the request with that same POST data, the server drops me a 500 Internal Server Error.
Using a local script to act as a server and give me what was sent by both Firefox and XI, I can see the POST data is correct, so as the Content-Length header. But the rest of the headers are quite different.
This is the request sent by XI:
===========================
POST / HTTP/1.0
content-type: application/x-www-urlform-encoded; charset=UTF-8
content-length: 59
connection: close
accept: /
user-agent: SAP Web Application Server (1.0;700)
host: 10.16.6.86:8080
sap-language: P
p=0302697012345678+++++++FR50CRSM1++++++++00000268400513N
===========================
And this is the request sent by Mozilla Firefox
===========================
POST / HTTP/1.1
Host: 10.16.6.86:8080
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; pt-BR; rv:1.8.1.6) Gecko/20070725 Firefox/2.0.0.6
Accept: text/xml,application/xml,application/xhtml+xml,text/html;q=0.9,text/plain;q=0.8,image/png,/;q=0.5
Accept-Language: pt-br,pt;q=0.8,en-us;q=0.5,en;q=0.3
Accept-Encoding: gzip,deflate
Accept-Charset: ISO-8859-1,utf-8;q=0.7,*;q=0.7
Keep-Alive: 300
Connection: keep-alive
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
Content-Length: 59
p=0302697012345678+++++++FR50CRSM1++++++++00000268400513N
===========================
My question here is: Is there a way to change the headers sent by XI and their content, so I could find out which one is making the webservice go boo on me? Or perhaps something else to try?
I've already tried the plain HTTP adapter and SOAP adapter without xml. In the above, the used was the plain HTTP adapter.
Thanks,
Coe

Instead of using HTTP Plain adapter, SOAP adapter or even build your own HTTP Adapter, use XI adapter and a Java Proxy to do the HTTPS POST using the Socket or HttpsURLConnection java classes.

HTTP Connection using GET request

We have a J2ME app which is accessing a server using an HTTP Connection. We were using a POST to send the data but kept getting an HTTP/1.1 100 Continue from the server. This is annoying since it's extra code to work around this issue (should be handled by the HTTP stack in the JVM).
We changed the POST to a GET. This works in the simulator but it doesn't seem to work on the real device (testing with a Motorola T720 and a Nokia). The HTTP request never seems to get to the server, although it leaves the phone just fine.
Any ideas ?
=Alan=

We have found the error of our ways. Here is the scenario and the problem we had:
1) Originally we had an HTTP POST request going to the server. After we openned connection to the URL, set the HTTP headers, openned the output stream and wrote data, closed the output stream and waited for data to come back on the connection.
-- Result: Have an HTTP/1.1 100 Continue sent back when the server is contacted. This is irritating as it's quite a bit more work to handle.
2) We changed the URL in the connection from a POST to a GET (url?data=urlencoded.string). We also changed the HTTP headers to reflect a GET. Since there wasn't any data to write, we openned an output stream, but didn't write any data, then closed the stream.
-- Result: Not even getting to the server - WHY ?
3) Then it hit us, get rid of the header information since we don't need it for a GET. Also get rid of even opening an output stream since it's really stupid to do that with a GET.
-- Result: Now it works like a charm !
Hope this helps any others whos brains might be stuck in idle like mine was :)

Passing HTTP Headers from BPEL to a RESTFul service in SOA 11g PS2.

Hi All,
We have the following requirement.
We need to pass the following headers to RESTFul service.
x_invensys_wss_username = "Some UserName"
x_invensys_wss_password = "Some Password".
I tried to first pass username and password properties by following below post.
Attach Http headers in BPEL Process
Specifically below steps..
Hi,
If you are talking about how to invoke a secured webservice...please follow this...
After creating the reference for your secured webservice in your composite, right click on the composite and say configure web service policies...
Add the security policy named "oracle/wss_http_token_client_policy"
And also, for the reference, create two binding properties
1. oracle.webservices.auth.username
2. oracle.webservices.auth.password
For the above two properties, provide the appropriate values.....
Please test the same after making this changes and let me know....
Thanks,
Narsing Pumandla
======================================================
Somehow i don't see the headers getting added to the call.
The service i am calling don't really need these headers.But the URL we will be calling shortly for the real application need them.
Can someone let me know whether this SOA version supports this or not.?
If yes , Then what is the best way to solve this issue.[i.e Able to send hardcoded values and also user specified values.]
Thanks,
Sid.

I am using this URL : api.geonames.org/postalCodeSearch?postalcode=90110&username=siddhardha
I see below message in audit trail.Not sure why the headers are not visible.
Am i missing something which is very fundamental.?

Setting HTTP headers from Xcelsius

Hello,
Does anyone know whether it is possible to set HTTP headers during Xcelsius web service or XML data calls?
Regards,
Gilbert

Hello Victor,
Both the XML data and the web service calls i am doing end up at agents that act on the content of the HTTP headers. For instance, the SOAP node that is listening to my web service calls uses the soapAction HTTP header for further routing of the call. That header is specified in the WSDL, but i need to be able to change it without changing the WSDL i.e. i would have to set the soapAction header. My end app can listen to the SOAP headers but the intermediary only HTTP headers.
Regards,
Gilbert

SERVER.XML re-write problem when changing HTTP to HTTPS

Hello,
I am using SUN ONE App server and had a problem with turning SSL on in order to use HTTPS.
What I did was that in GUI I selected a http listener under my instance and checked SSL/TLS Settings. I clicked Apply Changes button and I got a message saying that there wa a problem with XML-DOM. I checked my server.xml and found that its size was 0. It seems that it stopped re-writing it when it met the problem.
An interesting thing is that when I created an additional http listener with SSL at a different port, there was no problem.
It seems that the problem occurs only when I tried to change HTTP to HTTPS.
Is there anyone who can tell me why this happens?
I will appreciate any answers or comments.
Thanks

Hi,
Is your Implementation Class is still the same (as the old one), when you changed the pre-fix.
Just double click on the Implementation class and check whether the methods are still implemented or not.
Thanks, Advay

HTTP Headers - enabling caching and compression with the portal?

Has anyone configured their web server (IIS or Apache) or use a commercial product to flawlessly cache and compress all content generated by the portal?
Compression and caching is critical for making our portal based applictions work for overseas users. It should be doable, just taking advantage of standard HTTP protocols, but implementing this a complex system like the portal is tricky, we seem to be generating different values in the HTTP Headers for the same types of files (such as CSS).
We are running Apache so can't take advantage of the built in compression capabilities of the .net portal. We are running the java vervion. 6.1 mp1, sql server 2000 (portal, search, collab, publisher, studio, analytics, custom .net and java portlets on remote server).
Basically our strategy is to compress all outgoing static and dynamic text content (html, CSS, javascript), and to cache all static files (CSS, javascript, images) for 6 months to a year depending on file type.
Here are some links on the subjects of caching and compression that I have compiled:

Hi Scott,
Does Weblogic platform 8.1 supports netscape? We have developed a portal which
works perfectly on IE but it dies in netscape. Is netUI tags not supported in
Netscape?
Pls reply

Netscape 4.x and below have terrible performance with nested tables.
The
problem is not the Portal server but rather Netscape on the client machine.
If IE and/or a recent version of Netscape/Mozilla is not possible then
there are
really only two options:
1) Faster client hardware - not likely to be an acceptable solution.
2) Minimize the number of portlets and the complexity within the portlets.
Neither of these solutions are a great answer, but the 4.7 series of
Netscape is
getting pretty old. Having said that, we've got customers who want to
continue
to use IE 4 :)
Again, though, this problem is, I'm afraid out of our hands. It is the
client
rendering time that is the issue.

Does anyone know of any known reasons why the 7.0 (did it also with4.0) portal
pages can take up to almost 30 seconds to load in Netscape 4.7? I knowit is a
very generic question but our customer still uses 4.7 and will notuse the portal
b/c it takes so long to load some of the webapps. What the pages willdo when
loading is that the headers will come up and when it gets to the bodyof the page
it seems to stall and then comes up all of a sudden. For some of thepages it
takes 6 seconds and for others it takes about 24-27 seconds.
We have suggested using IE only but that is not an option with allof the customers
and getting a newer version of Netscape is also out of the question.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.--

Change column headers dynamically in OBIEE

hey guys.
We are working on a BI module for Finance. The data mart captures data for Actuals/Forecasts and Budgets for entire year by months (for example Jan2008 will have Actual/Forecast value and Budget value & similarly for other months of the year) .
Now while displaying on the dashboard reports the column header for the current month should read as Actual and for coming months it should read as Forecast.
Any suggestions as to where we can implement this business rule so as to make the column header dynamic.
Thanks

Problem setting Unicode (utf-8) in http header using tomcat

Hi:
I am trying to set a file name in utf-8 to http header using the following code:
response.setContentType("text/html; charset=utf-8");
response.setHeader("Content-disposition", "attachment; filename=解決.zip");
// I actually has file name in utf-8 here to set to the header, and I know that the name is correctly
// and I also looked into the response object MimeHeaders object and saw the head is correctly there
then write the content of zip file using ServletOutputStream.
The problem I have is that the file name is not displayed correctly when prompted to save or open in the pop up window next. I found out using Fiddler that the request header is wrong:
Content-disposition: attachment; filename=�zn��.zip
I am using Tomcat 5.0.28. Any idea how to get this working?
Thanks in advance!

You are setting the charset for the content to be UTF-8. (That is why the method is called setContentType.) But HTTP headers are not part of the content and so that has no effect on the header.
The original specification for HTTP only allowed US-ASCII characters in headers. It is possible that more recent versions have features that allow for non-ASCII header data, but I don't know if that is the case or how you would use those features if they exist.

Unable to authenticate to https sites using ntlmv2 on Mac OS 10.6 and Firefox 11.0

I am using a Mac with OS X 10.6. The Firefox version is 11.0.
we cannot authenticate to https:// sites that require NTLMv2. We were able to use Firefox on the Mac to authenticate to https:// sites until our organization dropped NTLMv1 and required the use of NTLMv2. The problem on the PC was corrected by using the NTLM plugin but we have never managed to correct the problem on the Mac. The operating system does not appear to be the problem since Safari can authenticate to these sites. I have added the https:// url to the network.negotiate-auth.delegation-uris, network.negotiate-auth.trusted-uris and the network.automatic-ntlm-auth.trusted-uris parameters (which is necessary to correct the problem on the PC). After reading the thread about ntlmv2 authentication in Lion I also set network.automatic-ntlm-auth.allow-proxies and network.negotiate-auth.allow-proxies to false but I still can't authenticate. I also tried creating an nsmb.conf file in /etc with minauth=ntlmv2

Hi
Thanks for the posts. I set network.ntlm.send-lm-response to TRUE but the behavior was the same. I changed https:// to http:// and made sure there were no trailing /'s but still cannot authenticate
