Re: Witango-Talk: Help Witango Josso (accessing HTTPRequest)

Hi Scott,
thanks for your answer.

I'm using Witango Application Server 5.5.009 Liquorice (Win32) [Professional Edition] and I'm developing with Witango Studio 5.5b2 on Windows OS.
I tried the @HTTPATTRIBUTE tag with NAME="FULL_HEADER" but that doesn't return anything. @HTTPATTRIBUTE tag with known and documented names (i.e. CLIENT_ADDRESS, USER_AGENT as an example) it works.

I found an old post in the list: http://developer.witango.com/forum/searchforum.taf?_function=detail&id=126704&vnav=developer
John McGowan says he has the same problem with @HTTPATTRIBUTE tag.


Thanks in advance for your help
Francesca

Hi Francesca,
 
You may have some challanges ahead of you, depending on what version of Witango you have.
 
The Request.ServerVariables() object in ASP/.NET has to do with retreiving HTTP header properties of the user's request to the webserver. In your case, your code is looking for a custom HTTP header property.
 
Unfortunately some versions of Witango have very limited access to the HTTP request header.
 
If you have Witango 5.5 or later, then I think @HTTPATTRIBUTE is what you'll want. But you may not be able to access HTTP_JOSSO_USER directly, so use the NAME="FULL_HEADER" attribute on your metatag (which returns the whole header) and then parse/search for the info you need.
 
I hope that helps.

Scott,

Hi,
I'm trying to use Josso with Witango but I don't know how to get HttpRequest in Witango.

Josso is a Single Sign On Authentication Server. It's able to give back user information inside the HttpRequest.

The way to get user info from HttpRequest with a JSP is:
<%=request.getRemoteUser()%>

An example with ASP is:
<html>
<body>
    <table width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" >
        <tr>
         <td>
            <b>Hello, <%=Request.ServerVariables("HTTP_JOSSO_USER") %>!</b>
         </td>
         </tr>
    </table>
</body>
</html>
How can I achieve the same task with Witango?

Thanks in advance for your response

Francesca
