Removing the loca testing restriction of SimpleProxyServlet for test using IP address

[Former Member]

Hi All,

Is there a way to remove the local testing restriction of SAPUI5 Simple proxy servlet ? The Simple proxy servlet works fine with localhost but when I try to access with my IP address it fails giving the following error :

HTTP Status 500 - Only allowed for local testing!

Is there any parameter that can be set to avoid this ?

hi Mayank,

i am not working on this SAPUI5 Simple proxy servlet in my project, so i have created an Apache proxy server in local system, so that i can test with my application with IP address, from any of the other systems(which are in same domain.) here i am by passing the proxy, by using same origin policy.

in my case, its working.

for more information see below link, to resolve Same Origin Policy issues.

regards,

I'm not sure if this is a serious question, but since you're using the SimpleProxyServlet, I take it you are familiar with its documentation as well, which clearly states (emphasis mine):

Be aware that due to security reasons the SimpleProxyServlet is restricted to local testing purposes only. It can only be used for local host scenarios (accessing Gateway services to avoid cross-domain issues) and will not work when deployed on an application server. For productive use, refer to a mature proxy servlet.

Hi Robin ,

I am aware of the security documentation of SimpleProxyServlet but my team is spread across different locations and just wanted to have this information so that collaboration is a little easier and they can access my local server through the IP address and have a quick look at developments.

Why on earth is it so easy to set up the SimpleProxyServlet and such a nightmare to set a production quality solution? I can't imagine how many person hours that have been wasted after googling myself for 2 hours and finding so many people struggling.

Crazy idea but why isn't this just built into the cockpit for HCP?
