Javascript not installed when using UTL_HTTP.

I'm using UTL_HTTP to return the contents of an external webpage.
When I hit the page using Firefox or IE, and "view source", I can see the required content, but when using Oracle, it shows the "noscript" tag, as though javascript is not installed in Oracle. I installed the JVM, bit it still doesn't work.
What am I missing here ?

To add to Michael's comments - there is no web browser rendering engine in Oracle. It makes no sense to have one as where will it render on? This is server side. Not client side.
And even if you ignore these client-server fundamentals and argue that the it should render (somehow) the response it get - there is no canvas/display device of any sorts to render anything on. Especially not something so generic and so virtual that will work on every single platform that the Oracle PL/SQL server process runs on.
Okay, so having established that there is no sense to perform client (browser) rendering inside Oracle and that is not feasible, nor sensible too... just what do you expect UTL_HTTP to do with Javascript it gets?
Do realise what the purpose and aim of Javascript is within the web architecture? It is a scripting language that is executed inside the web browser client. Quote "The primary use of JavaScript is to write functions that are embedded in or included from HTML pages and interact with the Document Object Model (DOM) of the page". As there is no HTML rendering engine inside Oracle, there is no HTML DOM either.
Even if you implement one, how would you handle the interactive nature of Javascript (like AJAX, opening new windows, etc)?

  • Internet Explorer 9 not showing as not installed when using Windows Update - Error: Code 9C48 Windows Update encountered an unknown error.

    I built a few new Windows Server 2008 R2 with SP1 VMs today and ran into a problem where Windows Update is not detecting the fact that Internet Explorer 9 is already installed. Internet Explorer 9 keeps showing up as an available update when
    using Windows Update. When I try to install it as a test I get the error message: Code 9C48 Windows Update encountered an unknown error.
    My normal build procedures include applying all the patches for the OS prior to any other work on the servers. The way I like to do the patching is to do every update other then IE9 in the begininng and once all the other updates have been
    completed, install IE9 and then patch it if there are updates available. I followed this procedure on every build for the last year and I have not run into any issues until today. The only difference today is the latest patches that were released yesterday
    April 10th, 2012. To test the theory that it may be one of the latest patches, I reinstalled Windows from scratch making sure to format the disks and then I installed IE9 right after the OS install without any other updates. Once the
    server was rebooted, I checked Windows Update and Internet Explorer 9 still showed up as update (Not the Cumulative Update which normally shows up after an IE9 install) and yes, I did make sure to click the 'Check for Updates' link before I looked just
    in case. My next test was to patch a couple of the servers I had built prior to April 10th, 2012. Those servers did not have any issues with the latest updates and they are not experiencing the same behavior as the newly built servers.
    I ended up comparing the IE9 Version on the cleanly install OS (No updates were installed except IE9) and the servers I built last week which were patched. The versions are exactly the same.
    My findings above lead me to believe that there is a problem with the latest IE9 install package (which includes the latest cumulative update) and the Windows Update detection component.
    I guess I am looking for someone to report this up the chain to get this fixed so no one else runs into this problem. I know in some cases we may not be able to see additional IE9 updates until this is resolved.

    I just started having the same problem.
    I was creating a new VM in Vsphere from our 2008 R2 SP1 image and it hasn't been updated and repacked in a while, so i have to install about 60 updates, including IE9.
    I went through my normal setup as i had just created 2 VMs and updated them on Monday with no problem.
    I got the same error code as you. The install looks like it installed IE9, but the update is still showing up as available in Windows Update.
    I deleted the VM, created a new one, chose all updates except IE, then did that and it still shows up again.
    Then i deleted the VM, installed just IE 9 and it still shows up as available on reboot.
    I have a script that i can use to reset/clear WSUS cache on the computer, (Software distribution folder, and the windows update log, and recreates a certificate), so i tried that and then rebooted and it still showed up.
    I then decide ok, maybe the Image got messed up somehow, so i started creating a new 2008 R2 install from scratch last night and chose to update just IE9 as the first install. I did that, rebooted and it didn't show up in Windows Updates, so i though GREAT.
    I proceed to kick off the 100+ downloads needed before i left and left the console up.
    When i got in to work this morning, the updater seemed stuck on 31 of 102 updates, this one in particular: KB288516. I rebooted the computer, because it wouldn't stop and just seemed stuck since last night, which these updates should only have taken about
    an hour to install at most. I log back in and sure enough, it now shows Internet Explorer 9 at the bottom of the update list as being needed for install.
    I believe this is Patch Tuesday week, so maybe they screwed up something with the Windows Update detection engine, because it worked fine on Monday when i had to update IE9 on 2 VMs that i created.

  • Adobe Reader "Adobe PDF Reader" Addon not installing when Using MSI Installer.

    I'm trying to do a silent install of Adobe Reader - and I notice that when I use the EXE installer, with no manual configuration, I have the "Adobe PDF Reader" Addon in Internet Explorer (IE11).
    When Installing the MSI - With or without a transform, I do not get the addon. I get a "PDF Link Helper" but no PDF Reader addon. Has anyone experienced this?

    Hi geoffubazi,
    The 'Adobe PDF Reader' Addon should install even if you run the .msi file.
    Check under the Add on option- 'Run without permission' as shown in the screen shot below and it will list the 'Adobe PDF Reader' Add on

  • Flash will not install when using firefox 34.0.5

    I have installed Firefox 34.0.5. I've tried everything to install flash but it still do not work. It says it installed fine, but when I check, it has not been installed. It's not even in the add-on list. Please tell me how this works. Thanks.

    I am sorry to hear that you are having this problem with Adobe Flash in Firefox. I would be happy to help you get this problem taken care of. First in Firefox go to the [http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer Adobe Flash Player website] . Then instal it, after that close out Firefox just to make sure that it will apply. Then check to see that it is listed in the add-on list.
    This should take care of any problems that you have been having. If not let me know and we will work from there. If it does fix the problem please mark this answer as the solution to the problem.

  • Exception : SubjectManager not installed when doing Security.runAs()

    Hi
    I am getting an exception : Subjectmanager not installed while running Security.runAs(new Subject , .....
    The problem occurs onley when there is only wlclient.jar in the classpath .
    Anyone knows the solution
    I don't want to add weblogic.jar in the classpath .

    Sachin Shukla <> writes:
    Initialization of the client jar is a hairy dance. It generally

    andy
    I am getting the exception "SubjectManager not installed" when calling Security.runAs with thin client jar. This is the first statement on entering main(). This error doesnt occur when using weblogic.jar.
    I was doing this because the principal and credentials set on main thread, for JNDI authentication were getting passed to all the child threads. To evade this, I thought of calling the following code in every new thread - Security.runAs(new Subject(), new PriviledgedAction(){
    public Object run(){
    //do stuff
    Thanks in advance

    You can set any song to Skip when shuffling.
    In your iTunes Library, highlight the song and right-click/Get Info. On the Options tab is the Skip when shuffling box. Select that and then Sync the iPod with your Library.

  • Images on Facebook do not appear when using different web browsers

    Images on Facebook do not appear when using Safari on my Macbook Pro (I've tried Google Chrome too with the same result).  This makes me think it's a setting within OS Mavericks that I'm missing.  I have not seen this issue on any other computers.  This only occurs on my, and others' profile pictures on my profile page and on the news feed, not photos that are posted in albums or on walls.  and yes, i have images enabled in Safari.
    In safari the images don't appear, and in their place is a small blue "?" square >>.
    In Chrome it appears as a broken image link >>
    Has anyone encountered this?  Is there a fix?  It is very annoying.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches. 
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and  Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • Module borders not displaying when using Aggregator

    I am using Captivate 4.  I created a TOC for both modules in a project. Then I created an Aggregator to connect them and display both TOCs.
    The issue I am havving is that the individual modules have borders on all 4 sides, yet they do not display when using the aggregator. How do I correct this?
    Thank you.

    Lenny,
    I apologize for not having an answer to your question, but I'm envious that you've successfully configured mod_jk. I've read several different versions of how to configure this, but nothing has worked so far. I wonder if you could either point me to some correct instructions on how to integrate Apache and Tomcat so I might try to duplicate your success.
    Thanks in advance,
    Vince

  • U/tube videos open when using Safari but will not open when using Firefox.

    u/tube videos open fine when using Safari but will not open when using Firefox. With Firefox I get the unhighlighted Quicktime symbol with a question mark in the center. WHY?? Any help appreciated --- Toroya

    Hmmmm, strange you view YouTube in Safari & not FF. Which version of FF are you using?
    Try the following:
    Repair permissions & restart.
    Make sure you have the latest versions of Adobe Flash Player Software
    QuickTime Preferences > Advanced > MIME Stettings > Miscellaneous.
    Deactivate the "Flash Media" option.

  • Photoshop CC. Colour selection not working when using alt and brush.

    Hi, Photoshop CC. Windows 8.1 64 bit. Colour selection not working when using alt and brush. I have tried rebooting and other things like closing swatch panel etc.
    The alt key is otherwise OK.  It's not the recent upgrade from Win 8 to 8.1 (5 days ago) because the colour selection facility was working yesterday. Any ideas.

    I'd say things sound desperate enough to try resetting Preferences
    Reset Preferences
    Windows — Hold down Shift Ctrl Alt immediately after starting Photoshop
    Mac — Hold down Shift Cmd Opt immediately after starting Photoshop
    If that fails, we need to know your operating system?
    Do you have a full CC subscription, or by apps do you mean Photoshop, Bridge and Lightroom?
    Another other information that might pertain ?
