So actually I can’t get https requests from the browser to my WO app to get through on AL2023 and Graviton…..yet.
If I use curl to fetch an https page, it works fine and I see the HTML of my page returned: curl --insecure https://test.glovesonhand.co.uk/wa/1/43/4431-All-Ladies-Fashion.html But if I put that same URL into Chrome or Firefox, the WOAdaptor log shows a fail: Info: Sending request to instance number 1, port 2001 Info: Trying to contact MPMall:1 on (2001) Info: attempting to connect to localhost on port 2001 Info: MPMall:1 on (2001) connected [pooled: No] Error: sendBuffers(): send error: Invalid argument Error: error sending request Error: Failed to send request Info: Marking instance 1 dead This results in a No Instance Available Something about https (but only from a browser, not from curl) is causing the WO Adaptor to not be able to communicate with the app instance. The logging doesn’t give much clue to the actual problem. I guess my best bet is to try to narrow the gap between what curl is doing and what the browsers are doing. I can also connect fine using https from Java Client utilising wotaskd, so something from the browser is tripping it up. Finally I can also connect with https in a browser to a running app (JavaMonitor in my test) if I bypass wotaskd using: ProxyPreserveHost On ProxyPass /cgi-bin/WebObjects/JavaMonitor.woa http://localhost:56789/cgi-bin/WebObjects/JavaMonitor.woa ProxyPassReverse /cgi-bin/WebObjects/JavaMonitor.woa http://localhost:56789/cgi-bin/WebObjects/JavaMonitor.woa Wow, that is a lot that works but still can’t nail the standard browser https request problem. Not giving up yet.
