Odd behavior of the SAP Web AS when adding any extension to WDA URL

[Former Member]

If a user adds any extension (e.g. .htm) to a Web Dynpro for ABAP Application URL, system returns an empty page without any error.

In add, no login page is returned at all.

For example I can add .htm to the WDA WDR_TEST_EVENT like in the following URL http://host:port/sap/bc/webdynpro/sap/wdr_test_events.htm.

To me, SAP Web AS just returns the following in the HTTP Header:

Content-Type: text/html

Content-Length: 0

Cache-Control: max-age=0

Server: SAP Web Application Server (1.0;701)

Date: Fri, 14 Jan 2011 11:31:53 GMT

Age: 284

X-Cache: HIT from lucifer

X-Cache-Lookup: HIT from lucifer:3128

Via: 1.0 host:3128 (squid/2.6.STABLE21)

Proxy-Connection: close

404 Not Found

Isn't strange?

Any comments?

Hi,

WebDynpro Pages are not saved as .html file. During runtime the pages get rendered and displayed. That is why the request is giving page not found as the HTML page is not available in the server.

that's clear !

I'm commenting the error management.

The point is if the error is managed in the best way.

HI

so what do you suggest, what should be the error message.

as far as i think if the html page is not there this error message is sufficient.

I expected an error page exactly like when a NOT existing WDA is tried.

For example try http://host:port/sap/bc/webdynpro/sap/wdr_test_eventxxxx
