HTTP protocol webmail

I just signed up for DSL with Qwest and am buying a new 20" iMac. (I curently use a 1999 iMac 333 with dialup.) To get a low cost DSL ($30/ month) I have my ISP as MSN Premium. I know I need HTTP protocol for email and have read the achives to try to figure out what will work regarding web based email and my new iMac without it being a total pain in the butt.
Do I need the HTTP mail plugin to use hotmail, gmail, yahoo, etc.?
Would webmailer also be useful when using web based email with the iMac?
What web based email have others used painlessly with OS 10.4?
Thanks!
20"iMac Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Do I need the HTTP mail plugin to use hotmail, gmail, yahoo, etc.?
The HttpMail plugin is only for Hotmail. It allows you to receive and send Hotmail through the Mail.app but apparently only works for older Hotmail accounts.
Gmail offers free POP service (to work with Mail and other email client applications). Just follow the instructions here:
http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=13275
Yahoo and other services that don't offer POP access, can sometimes be added to Mail.app with MacFreePOPs. I have used it for Yahoo mail before but, honestly, it was less of a hassle for me just going through Safari.

Does FDF support https protocols?

Does FDF support https protocols? If so, what type of encryption? Are there any other options to support form data to an https server? Thanks in advance!

Thanks for your quick answer! I'm trying to learn some things to tell some tech people they're wrong and overcomplicating would could be an easy answer. I want people to be able to pull up a form on the internet anywhere in the world, but submit it to a secure server, i.e. https.
I take it from your answer that I can't use FDF to submit it to an https server? Or, when you say "HTML" does that include https?
When you say the entire PDF using HTTPS (SSL), do you mean via a webmail or web email that uses https? My intent is to have my person in another city just click an easy button to submit the form without having to save a copy to their computer and manually upload it to a new https webpage. That's why I liked this FDF option.

Upload Error message: HTTPS protocol is not supported

Hi,
   Whenever I do a quick par upload i'm getting an 'Operation failed' message to check sap-plugin.log.
   Log says
Upload Error message: HTTPS protocol is not supported, please ensure this server is not using HTTPS. My webdynpro applications are getting deployed without any issues.
     How to resolve this?
Thanks
Sumathi

Hi Sumathi,
As there are often problems with the Quick PAR Upload reported, I would suggest to use the "normal" PAR upload from the icon tray (you have to activate the portal icons in the icon tray). That is almost that "quick" (one or two clicks more needed, we don't talk about more than a second) and - it works (it least it should, and at least it works in most cases even if the Quick PAR Upload fails).
Hope it helps

How to set up and test the Basic Authentication for HTTP protocol

Hi,
I tried configuring the password based Basic Authentication for sending xml document using ebMS - HTTP protocol. I set username and password while configuring the transport server for both trading partners. I want to know, is that sufficient for basic authenticaton. When I open the URI http://localhost:7778/b2b/transportServlet, it is not asking any authentication (username/password). Please note that I have not used SSL certificate. Anyone please help me out to configure Basic authentication.

Hi Ramesh,
Thanks for ur response. Could you please tell me where to set the Additional Transport header : authtype-basic#realm=myRealm(in which property file). In enqueue code, I could see the following attributes
queue
msgID
replyToMsgID
from
to
eventName
doctypeName
doctypeRevision
msgType
payload
attachment
subscriber
Is it possible to set username/password in the enqueue attributes?
Do i need to add username/password and Transport header in the input XML and defined that elements in xsd?

Signed Applet not loading on Mac OS X if using HTTPS protocol

Hi All,
I need to open a trusted applet on Mac OS 10.2. The applet works fine if using HTTP protocol. But if the protocol used is HTTPS the the applet does not loads and "javax.net.ssl.SSLException - untrusted server cert chain" exception comes on the console.
The error comes for both - Verisign and javakey - signed applet.
On seaching for possible solution on the net, i came across following link: http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20020525101202503&query=Workaround+for+secure+Java+applet+problems
It says that this is Mac's known bug and gives the workaround as:
1. Access the problematic site with Internet Explorer on Windows. Click on the padlock item and export the certificate to a file.
2. Copy the certificate to your Mac.
3. Use the command
sudo keytool -import -trustcacerts -keystore /Library/Java/Home/lib/security/cacerts -file mycert.cer
to import the certificate file to your keystore (substitute mycert.cer with the name of the file containing the certificate). The keystore is password protected - the default password is "changeit".
4. Restart your browser
But the client cannot be asked to do all this to run the applet.
Is this problem being solved by Mac in their java implementation or is there any other possible solution?
Thanx in advance.
Regards,
Charu

I am experiencing the same problem - I notice it does not happen on OS9.2 using IE but appears a problem on all browsers on OSX
Apple gave me the following reply.....
Re: Bug ID# 3268633: cannot load applet class under https connection
Hello Andrew,
Thank you for bringing this problem to our attention. We have received feedback
from engineering on your
reported issue.
Please know that to get Java to recognize the certificate you will need to do
one of two things, depending
on which VM you are using. Since you want it to work with Internet Explorer, we
will assume Java 1.3.1.
In Java 1.3.1 you'll need to add the certificate to
/Library/Java/Home/lib/security/cacerts using
/usr/bin/keytool to import the certificate into the certificate database.
In Java 1.4.1 you should be able to just add the certificate to the keychain
using certtool. For more
details on how to do this, please refer to the information found at
<http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.1/docs/tooldocs/solaris/keytool.html>. After
doing so, if you should require
further help from Apple in resolving this issue, we recommend that you request
assistance from Developer
Technical Support. This must be done by filing a Technical Support Incident.
So I am supposed to tell every Mac user to do the above am I?!!!

Help needed to start HTTP Protocol with timeout

I am looking for information to point me in the right direction. I would like to create a class that would implement the HTTP protocol and would allow the user to specify a timeout if unable to connect to the server. I have used the URL and HttpURLConnection classes before, but have not used any of the other classes in the java.net package. I am just trying to create an app that will download a file from a specified URL. Something that I could use in the future and something to get more programming experience using the java.net package.
Could you tell me:
1) Which classes I would need to use to help implement a timeout
2) Where I can find an example or other information on how to implement the HTTP protocol with the class from question 1 above.
TIA for any information

That would definately reduce the coding time but would
do little to help with my understanding of classes in
the java.net package or to gather a better
understanding of the HTTP protocol. :-)
That said, I am currently downloading the 1.5 beta to
see what they have done.If it's just an academic thing to re-invent the wheel (code) that deals with the HTTP protocol, then go right ahead (ok, you don't need my permission).

Web Service wdsl file getting generated as a HTTPS protocol instead of HTTP

Hi Experts,
I have a requirement
I have created a web service in development client which is used in interactive adobe form.
After moving the web service to production only defination is getting generated.
I have tried to manually create the service in SOAMANAGER , it is getting created as with https protocol.
In development client it was created as a http protocol.
Warm Regards
Abhinav

Hi Abhinav,
I'm assuming you don't have a QA system in your landscape if you're transporting straight from Dev to Production. I'm also assuming this because if you transported to QA before production you would have noticed that 'only' the definition is always transported. You have to do the configuration again each time you transport your change, this is SAP default behaviour because each webservice is client dependant so SAP won't know which client this service will be relevant for in the environment you're transporting to.
The HTTPS issue, this makes sense to me in the production environment. You don't normally have the HTTP protocol enabled in a production environment, only HTTPS for security reasons.
In yout production environment, check Transaction Code SMICM --> Got (drop down menu) --> Services
Check what protocols are active there (with a green tick). This will indicate whether the HTTP protocol in enabled in Prod or not.

Why is the https protocol used on all pages of arch wiki & forums ?

I don't know if it's true, but I heard that the https protocol requires more server resources than http, maybe because the server has to encrypt the data before sending it to the client. Therefore, as far as I know, https is usually used only on web pages containing login forms, and others that transmit sensitive data. I'm not complaining about the wiki or forum performance, they're loading fast, but is there a reason for using https on all pages of arch wiki and arch forums ? Shouldn't https be used only for logins to the wiki and forums, and http for all other pages, just like archlinux home page ?

I don't know the specific reasons as far as Arch is concerned, but there is a trend... See for example the HTTPS Everywhere extension. Many sites started offering or forcing https (including Google.) This can help avoid censorship and eavesdropping, two things that are on the rise too in many countries.

Using https protocol thru Oracle Developer 6.0

Hi ,
I would like to know if it is possible to use https protocol from Oracle Developer 6.0.
we have used http protocol when using
Show_Document() and it works fine. But when we try to use https (which our application requires - secure mode)then we get the following error:
FRM-99999 Invalid URL sent to browser with target_BLANK.
Full Details: unknown protocol:https
We would appreciate any help on this problem.
Are there any patches which would enable the use of this protocol??
Thanks,

Is the EOB a PDF document?
Firefox updates every 6 weeks and the current version is 31.0. Rolling back almost 6 months is not recommended for security reasons. If that's their best answer, I suggest we either figure out a workaround for getting the document, or you just use a different browser for their site.

Retry count and retry Interval fields in Business service (Http protocol)

Is retry count and retry Interval in OSB business services(Http protocol) defined for retrying the application errors or for communication errors?
Also even if my connection timeout is 0 I get an error response due to communcation issue in abt 2.5 mins.
Please explain.

- There is an explicit configuration on business service called "Retry Application Errors", if enabled application errors will also be retried.
- If timeout is not set on business service then domain level timeout configuration comes into effect which is by default of 180 sec i.e 3 mins.
Hope this helps.

Https protocol issue

I have been getting the following error while trying to call a web service on the
server with https protocol from a client class.
[java] java.io.IOException: unable to find resource:https://localhost:7002/basic_javaclass/LoginUser?WSDL
[java] at weblogic.webservice.tools.wsdlp.DefinitionFactory.getWsdlURL(
DefinitionFactory.java:61)
I could view all the web service methods and links to WSDL and client jar on a
browser with the url, https://localhost:7002/basic_javaclass/LoginUser. I could
even open WSDL file and download client jar file from the browser. I tried without
success with the client jar file that was created using Weblogic ant task and
then with the one, downloaded from the browser. There were no problems, when I
used http protocol.
Thanks in advance,

I double checked with our operation team.
It seems that we started having this issue when our clients were updated on java 1.6.31.
The applet worked correctly before that version.
So I'm not sure if only build the applet using the new build will solve the problem.
Do you have any other suggestions?
Thank you

HTTP PROTOCOL used in XI by default

Hi All,
I exported a wsdl file from XI and I want to use that wsdl to invoke the service in XI.
I am using xml spy to test that wsdl.When I run it, it prompts me to enter user id & password & i do the same. The service gets executed.But now i am writing my own client program in axis..so how should i set authentication information.Do i need to set something in the wsdl in XI so that i will be able to set the authentication info.
Can you tell me what is the default http protocol used by XI??
Thanks,
Archana

Web Proxying to a WebLogic Cluster using the HTTPS protocol

Hi all,
I am recently involved into JWS proxying to WebLogic Cluster.
I don't have any technical problems at the moment but "conceptual" problems, that is:
- my jws proxy server should connect to a WebLogic Cluster through a Bea plugin configured wish SSL parameters;
- my jws proxy server should pass the incoming request using a load-balancing algorithm among the two nodes of the cluster, that are actually installed on two different machines;
- the jws proxy server doesn't seem to accept multiple certificates.
My question is: how can I configure my proxy plugin to route the incoming requests to my WebLogic Cluster using the https protocol? As a matter of fact, each certificate should be hostname dependent, and it looks like that the proxy plugin doesn't accept a multiple certificate configuration (and it should actually match the CN entry in the certificates with the actual hostnames of the nodes).
Any hint?
Thx a lot,
Luca

It is supported in 5.2
