PDF content over https in websphere

I have a servlet that streams the result of some FOP transformations back to the browser. All this works fine over http but when we switch it to https, the browser throws up an alert stating that the content is unavailable.
Can anyone out there suggest where I should look with regards to websphere settings to support pdf over https?

Hello,
I am facing some problem in downloading the pdf. I am using IE6 with SP2. Its working fine on my local box in am using http on my local machine web browser and when i download i am getting the save and open pop up but when i deploy the application on UAT environment. We are using https on UAT environment. When i am trying to download the pdf file i am getting information pop. Which needs an extra step for the user to download the file.
I dont want to do some setting on the brwoser side to disable the activex control as it will require every customer to do the changes on browser side and most corporate dont have the access to change the browser setting.
Can we send some properties in http header which can supress the information pop up over https. Please help need to solve this quick !!!

How to send a pdf file via http call

Hi Experts,
Please try to think on how you would send a file like a pdf file via the http call. You might need to convert the pdf in a character string which can be sent via http. The character string then might need to get converted back into a pdf and saved in a file. Read through the Archive Link API guide to see how they send the body of a file.
Please it is urgent......
Thanks
Basu

so you want to push the PDF file over http to external system.
where is pdf file stored.
for examle if its in the clients desktop, you can use gui_upload to upload to internal tabble (type BIN) then use FM SCMS_BINARY_TO_XSTRING to conver the binary table to type string.
then use cl_http_client class to push the file to the destination.

Content Search Web Part over HTTPS for a Host Named Site Collection

Hello
I have a host named site collection http://media.contoso.com which is a media portal that stores videos and pictures. On my parent site collection http://site.contoso.com homepage I have a Content Search Web Part that displays videos from the media portal.
Both sites work over https.
When I edit the content search web part and enter the URL http://media.contoso.com in the 'Change Query' box, search returns the results as expected but when I enter the URL as
https://media.contoso.com no results are returned.
I have removed the binding in IIS to point to http://media.contoso.com.
I need it to be https so that I don't see "HTTPS security is compromised by http://media.contoso.com" on my site collection homepage.
Any idea why this is happening?
Thanks
Yoshi

In the Search SSL Settings dialog box, do one of the following:
If you do not want the crawler to crawl a site when there is an SSL certificate warning, make sure that the
Ignore SSL certificate name warnings check box is cleared. For security reasons, the check box is cleared by default.
If you want the crawler to crawl a site even if there is an SSL certificate warning, make sure that the
Ignore SSL certificate name warnings check box is selected.

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.

[solved] Owncloud over SSL: http works, but over https only apache

Hello,
I try to setup owncloud with SSL.
Accessing over http works, but over https, I reach the default apache page instead of the owncloud page.
(I set up SSL according to https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/LAMP#SSL )
How could I make the owncloud site available over https?

OK, solved.
What I made wrong:
https://localhost leads to the apache page
https://localhost/owncloud leads to the owncloud page.
(Just as an information if there are other apache noobs like me...)

WCCP on ASA for FTP over HTTP

Hello,
We have a WSA appliance that we have in explicit mode and want to configure as transparent. The protocols we cache and analyze with WSA are HTTP, HTTPS, native FTP and FTP over HTTP.
Is there a service number on WCCP for FTP over HTTP protocol? Or it is included within HTTP?
Thanks a lot in advance.
Best regards,
Igor

Igor,
The service number 60 (ftp-native service) only applies to transparent redirection of FTP native requests and does not apply to FTP-over-HTTP requests.
On the other hand; the Content Engine listens for redirected HTTP requests on the standard HTTP port (default port 80). To enable the Content Engine to listen for WCCP-intercepted HTTP traffic on ports other than the default port, configure the custom-web-cache service (98 and 99) or a user-defined WCCP service (services 90 to 97).
I hope this helps.
Regards,
Juan Lombana

Design Choices and is LiveCycle needed? best practices for using RTMP/AMF over HTTP/XML communicatio

Hi,
I am new to flex/RIA. I am exploring different design choices especially in client server communication. On client side we will be using Flash based RIA (using Actions scripts).
There will be some simple forms (like for login, registration, payments etc) and some simple reports including with several graphs and charts. Each chart might have 1000 to 1500 data points etc. There are not video or audio content as such. On server side we have Servlets, java API and some EJBs to provide the business logic and real time prices/content (price update is usually every 10 seconds) /data. Some of the content will be static as well.
I have following questions in my mind. Is it worth it to use RTMP/AMF channels for the followings?
1. For simple forms processing (Mapping Actions scripts classes to Java classes). Like to display/retrieve/update data for/from registration forms.
a. If yes, why? Am I going to be stuck with LCDS? Is it worth it? What could be the cons for heavy usage/traffic scenarios
b. If not what are the alternates? Should I create the web services? Or only servlets are sufficient (ie. Only HTTP+Java based server side with no LCDS+RTMP+AMF)? All forms need to communicate on secure channel.
2. For pushing the real time prices/content which we may need to update every 15 seconds on user interface using graphs and charts. Can I do it with some standard J2EE/JMS way with RIA (Flex) on front-end? i.e. Flash application will keep pulling data from some topic. Data can be updated after few secs or few minutes which cant be predicted.
3. Are there any scalability issues for using RTMP? What happens if concurrent users increase 10 times within a year?
4. What are the real advantages of using RTMP/AMF instead of simple HTTP/HTTPS probably using xml based objects
5. Do I need to use LCDS if I am using AMF only on client side? Basically I mean if I am sending an object in form of xml from a servlet. Can some technology in Flash (probably AMF) in client side map it an Action script object?
6. What are the primary advantages of using LCDS in a system? Is there any alternate solutions? Can I use some standard solutions for data push technologies?
I would like that my server side implementation can be used by multiple types of clients e.g. RIA browser based, mobile based, third party software (any technology) etc.
I appreciate if you can kindly refer me to some reading materials which can help me deciding the above. If this is not the right place to post this message then please do refer me to the place where I can post such questions.
Thanks and Kind regards,

Hi Jalal,
Let me see if I can help with some of your questions
1. Yes, you can use LCDS for simple forms processing. Any time you want to
move data between the Flex client and the server, LCDS (or its free Open
source cousin BlazeDS) is going to help. I would expect you would use the
mx:RemoteObject MXML tag to invoke server side code, passing it the form
data input by the application user.
2. If you need to push near real-time data, LCDS gives you the RTMP channel
which can scale quite nicely. You can then use the mx:Consumer MXML tag to
subscribe the clients to the messages, which can come from almost anywhere,
include JMS topics or queues.
3. RTMP (included in LCDS) is the best option for scaling to tens of
thousands of users and the LCDS servers can be clustered to proved better
scaling.
4. The AMF3 protocol used over the RTMP channels performs much faster than
simple XML over HTTP. See this blog posting for some tests:
http://www.jamesward.org/census/.
5. If you are sending a Flex application XML, then I would recommend using
the E4X API to work with the XML. This is a pretty nice and powerful way to
work with XML. If you want Actionscript objects (and probably better
performance), then using AMF serialization to Actionscript objects is the
way to go.
6. Primary advantages? There are many, but mainly you can avoid thinking
about the plumbing and concentrate on solving your application and business
logic problems.
Hope this helps you a little

ACNS 5.5 / Troubleshooting bad quality VIDEO (MMS-over-http)

Hello community,
For an unexplanable reason I have to deal with an ACNS problem which is not my domain at all ! ACNS 5.5.15 is on a WAE-512-K9 working with CDM.
Please can someone advice me on how to start the basic troubleshooting steps on the following issue :
============================
- Users in Sydney are complaining of bad quality when they watch a video from an Intranet server in Frankfurt.
Video flow has bad quality (buffering ..) and/or stops before the end of the video.
- Users browsers are configured to use the WAE as local proxy on ports 3129 (.pac file). Requested Video on the intranet is in the Windows Media format and flows are MMS-over-http.
- No multicast distribution is used, neither content pre-positioning.
============================
We did a wireshark trace on the user PC watching a video which ends up unexpectidely with error code 500 => We follow the TCP stream, Time/Sequence graph is linear until ACNS sent [PSH,ACK] tcp flags to the user PC. Then PC answers with [FIN, ACK] etc...and the stream ends.
I have checked the show-tech (i have attached some commands from the sh tech) especially TCP statistics but I do not if the values are normal or not.
I am thinkink to open a TAC case but before contacting Cisco I prefer to try some basic tests if they can help.
Any recommendation on how to start a troubleshoot or any advice would be gretly appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi Defcom,
Thanks for the quick reply. I have tried changing and resetting the bandwidth limits at both ends last week at both ends but no joy!
I am going to try the solution on the Gerry's link above later but have to wait for my brother to be free as he has an airport as well(had a baby yesterday (hence why we are setting this up)).

Displaying PDF content in Android Air app - how?

Hi, I'm fairly new to developing Air apps for mobile devices. I'm looking to have my app display PDF files and can't find a dfinitive way of doing it. I've read that using the StageWebView would be the way to do it.
Here's the relevant part of my code (PDF path changed):
if (StageWebView.isSupported)
currentState = "normal";
webView.stage = stage;
webView.viewPort = new Rectangle(20, 100, 450, 450);
webView.addEventListener(LocationChangeEvent.LOCATION_CHANGE,onURLChange);
webView.loadURL("http://path.to.my.pdf");
addEventListener(ViewNavigatorEvent.REMOVING,onRemove);
else {
currentState = "unsupported";
lblSupport.text = "StageWebView feature not supported";
Its working up until the point of actually displaying the PDF content, I get nothing (blank screen).
I'm using Flash Builder 4.5 / Air 2.6 and debugging on a Motorola Xoom tablet. Adobe Reader is installed on the device.
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Solved.
For some reason I couldn't access the HTMLLoader object outside of the function that initialised it, despite the fact that I was listening for EVENT_COMPLETE.
Basically, to get round this bug, just put all the initialise and load code in the same function and you should be laughing.

XML over HTTP between client and server

We are trying to pass XML between a client and servlet over HTTP.
          We used the code from the StockClient/StockServlet examples as a
          starting point but cannot get it to work. Basically we
          have a simple command line java client that is trying to access
          a VERY simple servlet. When the client tries to write data into
          the output stream associated with the connection I get:
          "Connection rejected: 'Login timed out after: '15000' ms....."
          I have read several postings that instruct me to raise the
          timeout limit, but as you can see, I surely don't need 15 seconds
          to write this data out! Is there something special I need to do?
          Does this have anything to do with known issue #10065
          (http://www.weblogic.com/docs51/release_notes/rn_knownprob51.html)
          I have followed all of the instructions in the example code
          (http://www.weblogic.com/docs51/classdocs/xml.html)...
          Any assistance is appreciated...
          here is the client code:
          import java.io.*;
          import java.net.*;
          public class TestClient
          public static void main(String aa[])
          URL url = null;
          HttpURLConnection urlc = null;
          PrintWriter pw = null;
          file://Commented lines indicate other things I have tried
          try
          url = new URL("http://localhost:7001/ParserServlet");
          file://urlc = url.openConnection();
          urlc = (HttpURLConnection)url.openConnection();
          file://urlc.setRequestProperty("Content-Type", "text/xml");
          urlc.setDoOutput(true);
          urlc.setDoInput(true);
          file://urlc.connect();
          pw = new PrintWriter(new OutputStreamWriter
          (urlc.getOutputStream()), true);
          pw.println("<?xml version='1.0'?><test>testing123</test>");
          pw.flush();
          file://urlc.disconnect();
          } catch(IOException ex) {
          System.out.println(ex.getMessage());
          Here is the servlet code:
          import javax.servlet.*;
          import javax.servlet.http.*;
          import java.io.*;
          import java.net.*;
          public class TestServlet extends HttpServlet
          public synchronized void init(ServletConfig config) throws
          ServletException
          super.init(config);
          System.out.println("Inside init()");
          public final void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse
          response)
          throws ServletException, IOException
          System.out.println("Inside doPost()");
          protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest req,
          HttpServletResponse resp)
          throws ServletException,
          java.io.IOException
          System.out.println("Inside doGet()");


          Jon,
          One thing is missed in your client code. When you use HTTP POST to send request,
          you have two ways to tell the Web server when to stop reading from your input and
          to start process your input: the first one is using "Content-Lenght" header property
          to specify how many bytes you want to send to your servlet, the seocnd is use "Transfer-Code:
          Chunked" and is much more complicated. I didn't see you pass "Content-Length" in
          your client code, in which case, the Web server (Weblogic) cannot know the end of
          your request data and could keep waiting for last byte to come out or waiting for
          the socket time out (that is what you get).
          Since you use servlet, not JSP, I would recommend to code in this way (it works fine
          for me, no guranttee for your situation):
          Client code: Use a big temprary string, or StringBuffer, or StringWriter to store
          all the request data (your xml file content) before you send out the request. After
          you finish to form your XML string, calculate the number of bytes (should equal to
          the length of the string) and add the request header as
          urlc.setRequestProperty("Content-Length", bytes_length);
          I will not suggest you using PrintWriter. Think use BufferedOutputStream constructed
          from URLConnection and write the bytes (use String.getBytes()) to the servlet and
          then flush.
          Servlet code: in the doPost() of your servlet, try to find the request data length
          by calling request.getContentLength(), then open the InputStream (think to use BufferedInputStream
          for performance). Read the contents from the InputStream byte by byte and counter
          the number of bytes. Once you get the number of bytes as specified via request Content-Length,
          break your reading loop and start whatever you want.
          Hope it helps.

Web Service Client over HTTPS

Hello everyone,
need help -
my project requires making a SOAP call to access a web service over HTTPS. We are using WSAD 5.0 server with IIS web server. I am very new to this. Could anyone sort of guide me?
I have the WSDL file & I generated Java Proxy clients using WSDL2Client. How do I go about ensuring that the SOAP goes over SSL/HTTPS? Are there any security changes required at the app server level? Should I have made any changes to WSDL document itself as it has http:// references in the soap binding.
The service provider uses real certificates (veriSign). How do I handle exchange of certificates?
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

How can I know the end of TCP stream and/or SOAP over HTTP flow

Hi all!
I want to read SOAP messages over HTTP, from sniffed TCP fragments.
How can I decide that the TCP and/or the HTTP fragmenst finished?
For example there is a SOAP message sliced to 5 TCP packets, and the first packet contains the HTTP header and some SOAP content too. The last packet contains the SOAP XML's ending XML-tag </soap:Envelope>.
I don't want to watch every packet's end like "if the end string is </soap:Envelope> then it is the last packet", I just simply want to know which is the last packet of that message.
The TCP connection won't be closed after the message arrives, and let's say the HTTP header doesn't contain a Content-Length field.

A TCP connection is just a stream of bytes. It doesn't care what those bytes are. HTTP is built on top of TCP and specifies the ability to make a request without closing the connection (HTTP 1.1 Keep Alive). So you need to understand the HTTP protocol, understand whether it's a Keep Alive connection or not, and then do the same thing a browser would to do understand when a reply has been completed and the connection is available for the next request. Otherwise, you'll just look like you're getting loads of unrelated data as you sniff the connection. Oh, and you'll probably need to understand the HTTP chunking protocol too.

Mangled file downloads over http problem in 10g

I have a web app running in an OC4J stand alone 10.1.3.3 and am having a problem with downloading files over http. Its a struts2 app whose file downloading impl is easy to use and standard code for writing to an http servlet response output stream.
Using the firefox plugin for Live Headers I can see that the headers are correctly added to the servlet response and I do get the file I want. However the file has been mangled with binary output around the text. This is the case for txt, word, or any other file.
This problem does not occur in Jetty or Tomcat. I've also ruled out file corruption while going in/out of the database since I can upload a file when running oc4j, turn off oc4j, start up my app in Jetty and retrieve the same file just fine.
The mime types are all accounted for and the problem exists regardless if I use a specific content type or just application/download. My browsers (firefox and ie) also recognize all files from the content disposition value "attachment; filename=myfilename.ext". Its just the file content that some how has been wrecked on the way out of the container.
Has anyone experienced this? I only found one or two unanswered posts elsewhere.
How can this be mitigated?
Thanks in advance.
Andrew

Figured it out when I realized it was in fact the data coming from the database that was corrupt. There were some older posts on the hibernate website that pointed to a single property that needs to go in the hibernate.properties file: hibernate.jdbc.use_streams_for_binary=true. Without it, Oracle returns the Blob locator consistently 86 bytes in length and therefore bad binary.
