HTTP headers and redirect

We would like to use our CSS to do redirects for us. We have say 10 domains pointing to a single VIP, and we want to create a L5 content rule to match all 10 DNS names. The CSS seems to want to match ALL the "host contain" rules under the header field group, instead of "ANY".
Is there a way to solve this without creating a separate L5 rules for each hostname?

I have seen configs as large as 12000 lines that have no issues.If you ask cisco they say the configs should'nt exceed 8000 lines.
Large configuration files definitely slows down the CSS boot time and will introduce latency in show commands responses.
Performance issues only kick in if you hit working limits (concurrent connections, connection setup rate etc..).
Hope it helps

Rewriting http headers and url for Oracle Applications

We are running Oracle financial applications and need to provide access to users on the Internet. We can do that fine except for people behind tightly controlled firewalls that only allow port 80 and 443. Oracle insist it has to run it's apps using SSL on non-standard ports like 8001 and such which means many people can't get to them. So to make sure everyone can get to the apps I need to preset it on port 443. Changing the apps/servers isn't an option for many frustrating reasons so I'm looking for something that can reverse proxy and rewrite headers and url's. The hard part is the headers and all urls in the web pages need to be changed on the fly because Oracle hard codes everything with absolute paths.
Can someone give me some advice on what Cisco product(s) may be able to help?

After bringing this up with my Cisco rep it was recommended I look at the AVS 3120 box which is supposed to support the header/url rewriting I need. Can anyone with experience with these boxes let me know if I'm being steered in the right direction? The documentation doesn't seem to specifically mention this ability or if it does it's worded in a way that doesn't make it obvious.

Encoding problem (Umlaute) in HTTP-Headers

Hi!
I have a servlet that is being called by another server via a POST request.
The request contains user data in HTTP-headers, and whenever there is a
German Umlaut in the user's name, it ends up garbled. :(
The requests character encoding is set to 'ISO-8859-1', according to the servlet
requests getCharacterEncoding() method.
I try to copy the value of a header variable into a String like this:
headerNameValue = request.getHeader("headerNameKey");Which, unfortunatly, doesn't work. For example, the value "G�nter" becomes "G��nter".
Shouldn't the API take care of the encoding, when the CharacterEncoding is set
right in the servlet call?
It looks like it interprets the ISO88591 data as Unicode?
BTW, I'm on a WebSphere 5 server, with Java 1.4.
I've been tearing my hair out on this one for days, so any help is highly appreciated.
Thanks a lot!
Andreas

A header variable with the key 'accept-charset' is not sent.
Only 'accept-encoding', with the value 'gzip, deflate'.
Like I wrote in my first post, the servlet request's character encoding is set to ISO-8859-1,
according to the getCharacterEncoding-method.
I have kind of solved this for now by converting the String 2times back, like this:
try {
     headerNameValue = new String((new String(headerNameValue.getBytes(),"UTF-8")).getBytes(),"UTF-8");
} catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) {
      logger.error("Fehler beim Umwandeln der Umlaute im Benutzernamen.",e);
}                    }This code converts the '��', that my servlet receives, back to '�'.
(The first conversion changes the '��' to '��', the second the remaining '��' to '�').
While this seems to work, I don't think it is the right solution, and I still don't understand what's going on. :)

Andreas

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.

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.--

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>
MMK-007

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.

HTTP POST and Internet Explorer

Sorry for the cross post, but after reading through this newsgroup, it
          seems that this audience is better suited to answer this question...
          ===========================
          We're running across a very strange bug that is happening only in
          Internet Explorer and only when posting form data. Netscape works
          completely fine every single time.
          The user experience is this:
          Using IE, I get to a JSP that's got a form. I click a button on said
          form that performs either a "Save" or a "Cancel" action and am
          immediately hit with the wonderful "This page cannot be displayed(Cannot
          find server or DNS Error)" IE error message.
          What happens on the server side is this:
          User posts a form to a JSP. The JSP does any processing that it needs
          to, which in the case of "Cancel" is nothing, and issues these commands:
          response.sendRedirect("/some/page.jsp");
          return; //exit program immediately!
          I've verified that the server is executing as expected, sending the
          response and returning out of the program. That's where things seem to
          go awry in Internet Explorer. It's as if IE is not interpreting the
          HTTP response header correctly and just dies not knowing where to go.
          The even stranger thing is that, when running WLS on our internal
          network, this does not happen unless your dialed up. However, when
          hitting our servers that are colocated, this happens on a regular basis.
          One more thing to note is that this does not happen every time. It
          happens more than 90% of the time, but not every time, which is why it's
          very hard for me to recreate.
          Another strange thing is that this error seems to depend on the content
          of the form
          variables, for instance I can have a form with check boxes that errors
          out when the
          check boxes are unchecked, but is fine when the boxes are checked, and
          in both
          cases I'm not doing anything at all with the data that is getting
          posted.
          I've tried everything from changing the http headers to changing the
          post to be
          multipart encoded, and nothing works.
          If you've got a clue or a hint or any suggestions where I should be
          looking, then please let me know. I've got a few more things to check
          out, but I'm running out of ideas.
          Our platform:
          - RedHat Linux 6.0
          - WebLogic Server 4.5.1 Service Pack 5
          - JDK 1.2.2 (Sun/Blackdown)
          These JSPs:
          - Are posting form data ("GET" works for some reason)
          - Are not using any JavaScript


Hi Chris/All,
          Following on from this I contacted WebLogic support (Frederic). They
          suggested I downgrade from 4.5.1 sp8 to 4.5.1 sp7. They also suggested I
          use HttpResponse.encodeURL()...
          This did not solve my problem but I went on to discover the following...
          Hi Frederic,
          We tried with sp7
          I thought HttpResponse.encodeURL just encoded session data where no cookie
          support was in the browser, but I tried it anyway.
          Also tried the following to the page I'm redirecting back to (to prevent
          browser cacheing)
          resp.setHeader("Cache-Control","no-cache"); file://HTTP 1.1
          resp.setHeader("Pragma","no-cache"); file://HTTP 1.0
          resp.setDateHeader ("Expires", 0); file://prevents caching at the proxy
          server
          Also added the following to override the standard implementation
          protected long getLastModified(HttpServletRequest req)
          System.out.println("ServletA.getLastModified"); // ensure lastModified is
          always in the future requiring a reload
          return Long.MAX_VALUE;
          The only way I've been able to force this to work is a bit of a cludge and
          is as follows...
          // add time to queryString to fool IE5 into thinking this is a new web page.
          String parentURL = HttpUtils.getRequestURL(req) + "?" + req.getQueryString()
          + "&t=" + System.currentTimeMillis();
          The following is also of interest

Print HTTP headers in jsp

Hi,
I am completely new to access management.
I am trying to print the http headers.
I tried putting jsp page under htdocs folder and tried to access it through OAM HTTP Server.
Post authentication it only prints the jsp and doesn't print the header information.
Please tell me where am I wrong.

Got this working by redirecting to weblogic from OHS. Deployed a jsp application over wls and it printed everything.
Thanks.

Session Time Out and Redirect to login page - urgent

My problem is I want to display alert message and redirect to the home page when session expires.
Iam using TimeOutListener in my application as follows.
public PhaseId getPhaseId() {
return PhaseId.ANY_PHASE;
public void beforePhase(PhaseEvent phaseEvent) {
     FacesContext facesContext = phaseEvent.getFacesContext();
HttpSession sessionx = (HttpSession)facesContext.getExternalContext().getSession(false);
if(sessionx == null) {
     FacesUtils.sessionCheck = true;
String ampee = (String)((HttpServletRequest)FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext().getRequest()).getAttribute("ampee");
if(ampee != null && ampee.equals("ampee")) FacesUtils.sessionCheck = false;
if(phaseEvent.getPhaseId() == PhaseId.RENDER_RESPONSE) {
     if(FacesUtils.sessionCheck){
     facesContext.getApplication().getNavigationHandler().handleNavigation(facesContext, "", "sessionExpired" );
     FacesUtils.sessionCheck = false;
ExternalContext externalContext = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext();
          HttpServletRequest request = (HttpServletRequest) externalContext.getRequest();
          HttpSession session = request.getSession();
          if (session.isNew()) {
               try {
               String errorPageURL = externalContext.getRequestContextPath() +
               "/index.jsf?errorpage=true";
               externalContext.redirect(errorPageURL);
               }catch(Exception e){
                    e.printStackTrace();
here i have appended param errorPage=true...
in jsp page i have used following code to get the param<% if(request.getParameter(errorPage)!=null && request.getParameter(errorPage).equals("true")){%>
<script>alert("session expired");</script>
<%
%>
Can any one help me how to Implement this?
Do u know another way pls let me know...

Consider using the Javascript setTimeout() function in conjunction with HttpSession#getMaxInactiveInterval(). The HttpSession#getMaxInactiveInterval() returns the remaining seconds of the session lifetime.
Basic example:<script>
    setTimeout("alert('The session will timeout after one minute.')", <%= (session.getMaxInactiveInterval() * 1000) - 60000 %>);
</script>I've given the client one minute (60000ms) extra time space to respond accordingly.
Use this in combination with the following head:
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="<%= session.getMaxInactiveInterval() %>;url=login.jsf">which will redirect to login.jsf if the session is timed out. You can also redirect to another page of your taste, e.g. error.jsf or so.

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):

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.

How do I use Paged Media styles in css3 ( headers and footers ) ?

I need to make printer friendly web pages, with neatly styled Page Headers and Footers.

Try posting at the Web Development / Standards Evangelism forum at MozillaZine. The helpers over there are more knowledgeable about web page development issues with Firefox.

Acrobat Reader X stores PDFs in Temp-folder even when HTTP-headers say no-cache no-store

After updating from Acrobat Reader 9 to 10 we have noticed that PDFs viewed in the browser are left behind in the Temp-folder even after the browser has been closed.
Http-headers in the response from the server
Cache-Controls: no-cache,no-store,max-age=0,post-check=0,pre-check=0
Content-Type: application/pdf
Content-Disposition: inline; filename="xxxxxxxx.pdf"
Expires: 0
Pragma: no-cache
Folder: [User-folder]\AppData\Local\Temp
Filename-format: PDFxxx.tmp
Browsers: Firefox 3.6, Opera 11, Safari 5
Plugin: Acrobat Reader 10
Simply add a .pdf extension to the file and open again in Acrobat Reader. Since the server has set headers indicating that this PDF should not be stored locally, it is a severe security hole leaving traces of this PDF on the filesystem.
Is this a problem Adobe is aware of? When can we expect this to be fixed?

Gustav

Hi Michael,
Thank you for you quick response!
In Acrobat 9, I cannot find the PDFs in the Temp-folder after the browser has been closed.
In Acrobat 10, PDFs are left behind in the Temp-folder even after browser close.
To me, this looks like a bug in Acrobat 10. Would you not agree?
Regards,
Gustav

PDF headers and footers

Hi,
Trying to write a vocal reader for a PDF document, however, stuff that people would normally skip are being read by the reader (headers, footers, page numbers, footnotes, etc).
Anyone knows a way to programmatically recognize the type of the paragraph you are currently reading in a PDF file so the reader can skip those?
Thanks,
T.R.

Depends on whether the PDF is tagged or not. If it's tagged, then those things would be artifacts and you could skip them. If it's not tagged, then you'll need to do the analysis yourself to make the determination.

Pdf headers and footers again

I have windows 7 -64bit with Safari 5.03 on my work-pc.
When I try to Save As a .pdf files it won't, it shoes me only All Files in file type.
Also when I try to print the .pdf, it prints only headers and footers.
I have reinstalled adobe readers (suggested fix )several times, but it hasn't helped me. Any other ideas?

There's really no way to suppress headers and footers in Word output?

Says here that there's nothing you can do to suppress the headers and footers RoboHelp adds to Word / PDF output. Is that really true?

If Peter says it is true, it is. It is easily resolved though with some easy post production edits. Peter even gives you a process that he follows on that page.
