Web Dispatcher redirects only http requests

[Former Member]

Hello Guru's,

we have installed the new web dispatcher 7.11(37) on our testsystem.

we have configured with our productive parameters.

the wdp runs fine.

but he redirect only requests on http.

we had configured landingpages like http://<host>/fun who the wdp should ridirect to a portal page

if we requested a landingpage with http it works fine, but if we request it with https we get a page not found 404 from the portal. the permission table of wdp do not work with https, too.

need help.

You cannot use redirects with the ROUTER protocol. [1026191 - Limitations on the HTTP router protocol in Web Dispatcher|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1026191]

The webdispatcher cannot see the url when the traffic is encrypted, thus no possibility to redirect. One alternative would be to terminate ssl on the webdispatcher and communicate with http to the SAP system.
