Getting HTTP Headers

I'm new to Flex. I'm an ASP.Net developer. We have an ASP.Net application that gets information about the user in http headers. Can a Flex app get info from http headers?

Ok, i filed an enhancement CR103654.
I am not sure when this will be fixed.
Please contact support if you need an urgent fix.

If the return code is not 2XX, then the run time will throw

How to get HTTP headers from Data Provider Class?

Hi,
I'm the beginner in SAP NetWeaver Gateway. Using Service Builder I created CRUD OData web service and implemented CRUD operations in Data Provider Class. Data Provider Class has methods like MYENTITY_GET_ENTITYSET, MYENTITY_GET_ENTITY, MYENTITY_CREATE_ENTITY, MYENTITY_UPDATE_ENTITY. How can I get HTTP headers from the methods of this Data Provider Class?

You can do so by using the following code in DPC
Data : Lo_facade type ref to /IWBEP/IF_MGW_DP_INT_FACADE.
lo_facade ?= /iwbep/if_mgw_conv_srv_runtime~get_dp_facade( ).
lt_client_headers = lo_facade->get_request_header( ).

Get http headers through GenericServlet

hi ,
Is it possible to get the http headers through the GenericServlet. I know i can get it through the HttpServlet. Considering that GenericServlet is parent class of HttpServlet I would think that is possible when I get the InputStream - request.getInputStream I should be able to print the headers too. But that does not seem to be happening ? Any information will be appreciated . thanks -sudhir

Greetings,
hi ,
Is it possible to get the http headers through the GenericServlet. I know i can get it through theTechnically, no. Message headers are intended to provide information to the container/encapsulating server relevant to its part in handling the request. Indeed, most headers are not even relevant to the servlet which provides only an "extension" of the server proper. The headers are available in an HttpServlet[Request] primarily because HttpServlets are intended to operate in place of their CGI counterparts (the CGI spec. converts nearly all headers into environment variables...) though not all headers are converted into accessor-enabled object members.
A GenericServlet, however, is, well, exactly that, "generic". It forms the basis of other protocol-specific implementations (which currently, to my knowledge, includes only HTTP...), and so making those "protocol specific" headers available to an implementation class is the responsibility of the "protocol specific" servlet container.
However, since you're (presumably) running your "generic servlet" in an HTTP-specific container environment, you can always try casting the ServletRequest object to an HttpServletRequest reference and call getHeader on it. ;)
HttpServlet. Considering that GenericServlet is parent class of HttpServlet I would think that is
possibleRefer again to the above.
when I get the InputStream - request.getInputStream I should be able to print the headers too. But
that does not seem to be happening ? Any information will be appreciated.Er, no. Input/output streams relate to the body (i.e. the content...) of the message. Headers relate to the meta-data of the message (i.e. its "envelope") - which, again, contains information relevant to the container. That information could be, for example, "routing instructions" - e.g. "Host" or "Referer" headers - or it could be, for example, "handling instructions" - e.g. "Accept-Encoding" or "Cookie" headers.
In the former case, the headers are mostly of relevance only to the container, though a servlet may also base some part of its processing on them and so they are made accessible through the getHeader method.
In the latter case, they are not necessarily relevant to either (the container or the servlet) though, when relevant, they are most likely relevant to the servlet - whether implicitly ("Accept-Encoding") or explicitly ("Cookie") - and so are made available either in the same "implicit" fashion (getHeader), or through a more "explicit" API call (getCookies).

Invoke stateful ws: Can't get HTTP headers with CustomHeaderHandler

Hello,
I am trying to invoke a stateful ws as described here (http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/ias/callingstatefulwsfrombpel-091022.html).
I can succesfully send custom http headers declaring a CustomHeaderHandler.
However, when I try to access the data on the response I cannot get the headers. Hence, I can't get the session ID to pass around. According to what I've seen it should be in the pCallProps variable from the inovke method on the Handler. However that only has: pCallProps [tracking.compositeInstanceId, tracking.conversationId] as keys.
I'm working on soa version 11g.
Any input is appreciated. If I need to expand information, please ask and I will.
Thanks in advance!

Not sure this will help, but here goes:
I looked through your stack trace for a phrase that is relatively unique and summarizes the problem. I then google searched on it.
Here is what I googled on:
com.mysql.jdbc.NonRegisteringDriver.connect(NonRegisteringDriver.java
I found this that might be of help:
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/4.1/en/connector-j-usagenotes-troubleshooting.html#qandaitem-19-4-5-3-7
In that document I found this:
"The error probably indicates that you are using a older version of the Connector/J JDBC driver (2.0.14 or 3.0.x) and you are trying to connect to a MySQL server with version 4.1x or newer. The older drivers are not compatible with 4.1 or newer of MySQL as they do not support the newer authentication mechanisms.
It is likely that the older version of the Connector/J driver exists within your application directory or your CLASSPATH includes the older Connector/J package.
Also, the word 'NonRegisteringDriver' above indicates your JDBC (which is a driver_ is a non registering type.
I suggest you hit the MySql home page and see if you can download a newer driver.

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.

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?

The

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.

We have suggested using IE only but that is not an option with allof the customers

Hoiw do I get HTTP Header fields?

Hi,
I want to get the http header field If-None-Match. How do I get a hold of the HTTP headers for a request? I do not want to use If-Modified-Since due the the problems with out of synchronized clocks, determining time zones etc.
The content is in a BLOB, and I don't want to deliver it at all if not necessary. OWA_CACHE does not help, it still delivers the large amount of data.
I can set the ETag header, no problem, but how do I get theIf-None-Match header field returned from the browser so I can avoid unnecessary content delivery?
Thanks,

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

Exclude http headers from reponse??

Hi all,
I post data to a server and get response[in xml] back like this
Socket theSock = new Socket(serverhost,80);
PrintStream ps = new PrintStream(theSock.getOutputStream());
ps.println("POST /url HTTP/1.0");
SAXBuilder builder = new SAXBuilder(); //==<< get reponse
Document doc = builder.build(theSock.getInputStream());
.at builder.build I've got "SAXException: Parsing Error : The root element is required in a well-formed document" .
that because output from theSock.getInputStream() is
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Date: Wed, 04 Jul 2007 10:14:54 GMT
Content-Length: 105
Content-Type: text/xml;charset=UTF-8
Connection: close
<resp>
<status>200</status>
<description>ok</description>
</resp>I know that if i use HttpURLConnection the response InputStream will not contain http headers. But I'm just curious that with Socket, Is there any trick to get only content from InputStream?

There is no trick except to use the HttpUrlConnection class. That�s why it was created. It wraps the socket and parses through the headers for you. The socket is very low level and all it sees are bits over an input stream (TCP / UDP). It does not know or care about HTTP which is a protocol on top of TCP.

OSB: Static Vs Dynamic Routing With "Get All Headers"

Hi
How Static and Dynamic Routing works when calling Business Service pointing to a service inside or out-side the domain with respect to carrying "Get All Headers".
The scenario is
I have two BIZ services of http protocol, B1 pointing to a serive with-in the same domain and B2 pointing to a serivce outside the domain.
Now i am calling both BIZs throught Static and Dynamic Routing
1. Proxy X calls BIZ1 using Static Routing
2. Proxy X calls BIZ1 using Dynamic Routing
3. Proxy X calls BIZ2 using Static Routing
4. Proxy X calls BIZ2 using Dynamic Routing
Question: In all 4 cases, does "Get All Headers" get passed to called service?. How is the behaviour?
Thanks
Venkata Madhu

If you're getting errors like -
ORA-12514: TNS:listener does not currently know of service requested in connect
And you're database has been started you can -
'alter system register'
and that will register the database with the listener.
If you are trying to start up databases remotely you need to have a static entry (listener.ora entry) otherwise you will not be able to connect to the database and will get the above error. I've seen people connect remotely, shutdown the database, try startup and they are not able to. Good way to shoot yourself in the foot.

Unable to get Http Header info in webservice Handler

Hi,
I have been trying to get the Header info in my custom Handler unsuccessfully
for the past few days.
Upon web search, I am constantly redirected to use a Servlet filter to get the
headers. I have to use the Weblogic Native SOAP engine and not any Servlet Filters.
In Axis, I can do a (HttpServletRequest)messageContext.getProperty(HTTPConstants.MC_HTTP_SERVLETREQUEST)
which returns the HttpServletRequest and then I can get the headers off that.
I can't find something similar in WebLogic. Any ideas?
Any help in helping me track this problem down would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Sridhar.

Yes, you are correct that you are taking a risk by using the "__BEA_PRIVATE_BINDING_PROP"
property, on the MessageContext object. The mechanism I provided is the recommended
(and supported) way to get the HTTP headers, as it only uses "documented" class.
Some developers think you are trying to "hide" something with undocumented classes,
but I don't think this is the case with BEA. There are good reasons and the point
you made about the likelihood of an unannouced future change breaking your code,
is probably pretty high on the list :-)
Getting the REMOTE_ADDR (or REMOTE_HOST) would most likely require the "undocumented"
approach you've taken. You could get the HttpServletRequest from this same HttpServerBinding
object, and call the getRemoteAddr() method on it. However, I really, really,
really think you should consult our "fantabulous" BEA support department, to see
if doing this will be supported.

Thanks again for the code. It was a great help.

PS BTW, I found another way of getting the same info:
HttpServerBinding httpBinding = (HttpServerBinding) messageContext.getProperty("__BEA_PRIVATE_BINDING_PROP");
Enumeration headerEnum = httpBinding.getRequest().getHeaderNames();
while (headerEnum.hasMoreElements()) {
String header = (String) headerEnum.nextElement();
System.out.println("header = " + header);
System.out.println("header Value = " + httpBinding.getRequest().getHeader(header));
But, I am guessing BEA doesn't want me to go this route as they might
change the
implementation and my code will immediately break.

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

HTTP headers - auth_user

Hi all,
is there a way to access http headers like auth_user from an XSQL page?
Thanks for any input.
Olaf

From a custom action handler, this is easy since you can get a hold of the HTTPRequest and get the auth_user from the request.
My book Building Oracle XML Applications has an example of exactly this on page 597, but using the example action handler in the release notes, if you're familar with the HTTPRequest object, it should take only a short time to write yourself.

Adding custom http headers for WSRP requests

Hello,
I wonder whether it is possible to insert custom http headers for WSRP
requests?
To give more details:
We are going to have portlets exposed via WSRP (hosted on non-weblogic
server). We need these portlets to work on different portals including
WebLogic Portal. And we need to have working SSO. There needed at least
2 SSO options:
1. Having SiteMinder protected portal. Will WebLogic pass SiteMinder
headers further to WSRP producer?
2. Custom SSO tokens to be passed as http headers. Is it possible to
make weblogic to add custom http headers when calling producer?
2a. Credential mapping shall be used to get username/password for
backend application (accessed from producer side), and than these
username/password shall be passed as http headers when requesting producer.
Best regards,
Sviatoslav Sviridov

Accessing Java webservice (XML over http) via WCF or HTTP adapter with content-type and authorization HTTP headers with POST method

Hi Team,
I need to access Java web service which is simple service and accepts and returns XML over HTTP. No credentials are needed to access the service. We need to pass following two HTTP headers (Content-Type and Authorization) along with XML request message:
<GetStatus> message is being constructed in the orchestration and URI is constant to access.
Which adapter shall I use to get the response back? I tried using WCF-WSHttp with Security Mode = Transport, and different options of client credential types but every time, error returned stating:
System.Net.WebException:
The HTTP request is unauthorized with client authentication scheme 'Basic'. The
authentication header received from the server was 'Basic realm='.
Authentication failed for principal Basic. Message payload is of type:
String
In Fiddler, request looks line following
POST <https://URL/GetServiceReopnse HTTP/1.1
Content-Type: application/xml
Authorization: Basic cmVmU3RhdHN2Y19kgeRfsdfs=
Host: <Server name>
<GetStatus XMLNS="http://server.com/.....">
<OrgId>232323</OrgId>
<HubId>3232342323</HubId>
</GetStatus>

First, you should not use the HTTP Adapter because it's been deprecated and replaced by WCF.
Start with the WCF-Custom Adapter and select the customBinding.
You should start with the textMessageEncoder and httpTransport and go from there.
