Hi John, Thanks for making that clear !
Francois -----Original Message----- From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of John Baker Sent: Monday, September 17, 2012 8:19 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Error on Mid Tier Hello There's nothing wrong with a reverse proxy unless Mid Tier is not setting headers correctly. Reverse proxies are common place in large global organisations. Whilst slipping in the world of proxies per se, why should the same static workflow (ie the output of form.js, linked when a page loads if I recall) be moved from London to Asia every time someone opens a window? It's a huge waste of bandwidth and a hit on performance. Apache and mod_jk, a common BMC Mid Tier deployment, is a reverse proxy. The browser asks Apache for a web page, and mod_jk fetches it. Reverse proxies do have their downsides, such as making it easier to implement cross site scripting (because all the applications share the same hostname), but if you trust all the applications then that's not so much of a worry. If there are problems with Mid Tier and reverse proxies, they should be fixed.
