I am wondering who uses the portal.properties setting:
org.jasig.portal.serialize.ProxyWriter.resource_proxy_enabled=on
  
This setting causes http imbedded content to be vended from the portal vis https avoiding mixed content messages for media such as images.  It also wants to save and revend script elements.  In our current YaleInfo uPortal site we removed all the code that attempts to proxy scripts.  I had thought that the Jasig version had also removed that function but it seems to still be there in 3.1.  I would like to suggest we remove it from the base code for 2 reasons:
  1. It feels like a bad idea to stash scripts in the web server file space to re-vend as part of the portal (?)
  2. It doesn't seem to work.  We got some bad html ouput that killed numerous portal functions (like drag and drop) when ProxyWriter tried to save js and serve them up via the proxyPortlet.
I have removed the offending code and will be going forward into production without it.  If people think it would be good to remove it from uPortal for 3.2 I'd be happy to make the changes.
