Reaching a website from WAS using a proxy server

[Former Member]

We are trying to connect out to a couple of internet sites from our WAS 6.4 system to test and see if we are getting out both on the abap side and the j2ee side plain and ssl. ( we are running XI on this system )

Is there any mechanism in WAS just to do a simple connectivity test e.g.. go to an http site like mocrosoft.com or something and then go to an https site just to check and see if we are even getting out??

We are at our wits end and any help would be appreciated and rewarded.

Thanks - Andrew

Try creating RFC detination using SM59. Create a destination of type 'G' and put the URL in target system setting. "Test connection" for RFC destination will test connection to this web site/URL.

to set the proxy you can do it from

1. sm59->RFC->HTTP proxy configuration->HTTP log or

2. SICF->Client->proxy settings

Ok that worked for regular http, now when I try to test https it is not giving me anything just a green checkmark at the bottom and no screen. Also do the client proxy settings in SICF apply to the j2ee side also or just the abap side?

[athavanraja]

to work with HTTPS , first you need to install the certificate into WAS system and when you use cl_http_client you need to pass 2 as the value for scheme parameter.

client proxy setting in SICF only applies to abap.
