Hello Lokent,

From your attachment:

Our aim is (...) to redirect from http://hostname:port/irj/portal to http://hostname/irj/portal.
(...)
icm/server_port_0 = PROT=HTTP,PORT=81$$


icm/HTTP/redirect_0 = PREFIX=/, TO = /irj

The Web Dispatcher only has the HTTP port 81$$ configured ($$ = instance number, defined by the parameter "SAPSYSTEM").

Since it is not using the standard HTTP port (80), there is no way to "omit" the port from the address bar.

This is not an issue with the Web Dispatcher or the browser.

This is standard behavior of the HTTP "world".

If you do not want the port number to be shown, change the parameter "icm/server_port_0" to:

    icm/server_port_0 = PROT=HTTP, PORT=80

Then, your end users will have to access the Web Dispatcher through "http://hostname".

Hello Lokent,

Now you have added the "HOST" argument to the icm/HTTP/redirect_0 parameter.

Whenever HOST is used with this parameter, PROT must be used as well.

This is documented at the SAP Help page that described the parameter.

I do not see the need to specify HOST in this case, as the target of the redirect will be the Web Dispatcher itself. Just remove the HOST argument and it should work.
