Remoting over HTTPS

Question

Is it even possible to use RemoteObjects over SSL?
I am attempting to access a remote server (not my localhost
as all the tutorials assume). It absolutely, positively, must use
SSL.
The .NET developer creating the back-end has installed WebOrb
to allow AMF - however, it's still not working.
Can someone please point me toward a tutorial that actually
works? Or can you tell me if what we are attempting is even
possible?

Answer 1

Kindly check the action tag of your form. It can have the following 2 to operate correctly: -
1. action = "/page.jsp";
2. action="https://mysite:443/page.jsp";
Check for https carefully if you are using 2nd option. This could be the probable reason that the following error, as mentioned by you: -
When submiting I get a message box "that I'll be redirect over a non secure conection" and my jsp url look someting like this:
http://mysite:443/page.jsp.
I suppose you are using some public key encryption for communicatiing using SSL. It is generally achieved using self signed certificate or 3rd party certificated from some trusted certification authority. Most of the java web servers provide you options to generate a self signed certificate.
The second error comes since the page has been redirected to HTTP but the port is 443, which by default is where HTTPS listens. Since the port 443 listens for HTTPS requests it is giving the following error: -
"Your browser sent a request that this server could not understand.Reason: You're speaking plain HTTP to an SSL-enabled server port.Instead use the HTTPS scheme to access this URL, please."
So the second error is the consequence of the first error.
Hope this helps
