Hi. I have defined a web application (actually tomcat-docs) that should be redirected or moreover, viewed under https. If I try it with Netscape or Opera everything works fine. The tomcat-docs link is redirected to port 8443 and thus opened via https. The problem comes when I try to use Microsoft Internet Explorer. It just won't display the page (The page cannot be displayed) and won't even redirect me to port 8443. It keeps insisting on trying to view the docs under 8080 which of course, will give an error. TLS 1.0 is selected on MS Internet Explorer and I still get the same error.
These are some of the results I get in my log files: 2001-11-26 11:37:57 HttpProcessor[8080][3] Header referer = http://www.someweb.com:8080/index.html 2001-11-26 11:37:57 HttpProcessor[8080][3] Header accept-language = es 2001-11-26 11:37:57 HttpProcessor[8080][3] Adding locale 'es' 2001-11-26 11:37:57 HttpProcessor[8080][3] Header accept-encoding = gzip, deflate 2001-11-26 11:37:57 HttpProcessor[8080][3] Header user-agent = Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 4.0) 2001-11-26 11:37:57 HttpProcessor[8080][3] Header host = www.someweb.com:8080 2001-11-26 11:37:57 HttpProcessor[8080][3] Header connection = Keep-Alive 2001-11-26 11:37:57 HttpProcessor[8080][3] parseConnection: address=server/192.168.1.51, port=8080 2001-11-26 11:38:55 HttpProcessor[8080][3] An incoming request is being assigned 2001-11-26 11:38:55 HttpProcessor[8080][3] The incoming request has been awaited 2001-11-26 11:38:55 HttpProcessor[8080][3] parseConnection: address=server/192.168.1.51, port=8080 2001-11-26 11:38:55 HttpProcessor[8080][3] Normalized: '<??>?Zt???G?Q???k-???%??' to '/<??>?Zt???G?Q???k-???%??' 2001-11-26 11:38:55 HttpProcessor[8080][3] Request is '[W?O??O????g8??9A*???7?I??]<' °??
