Question about where HostURL is defined

[Dan Packer]

Can someone tell me how the variable HostURL is defined? I have a WebSpeed application that needs to run under https. The HostURL variable is displaying http://hostname.net while I need it to be populated with https://hostname.net. I haven't defined the variable anywhere during setup, it seems to be detected somewhere.

The site is hosted on an IIS7 web server; I have looked in the ubroker.properties file on both the webserver and the application server. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Dan,

HostURL is not something you set up. It's something that IIS will be exporting and Progress picking up. If you visit https://hostname.net you will find that HostURL will automatically gets the https prefix (unless there's a proxy server in the middle).

Do you have an SSL certificate installed on your IIS server? What happens if you type https://hostname.net into your browser?

Lee,

Thanks for the quick reply. I tried entering https://hostname/cgi-bin/..../workshop into the URL, then executed {&OUT} hostname '<br />' ; I still get a hostname of http://hostname.

We do have an SSL certificate installed on the IIS certificate; the application correctly runs under https, but any resources that use a relative path based on the hostname are being sent via plain http.

Again, thanks for any advice that you may have.
