Hi,

as I'm in need of using SetLocation, I'm bringing up an old issue...

SetLocation is not working for me, all I keep getting is an empty white
page. 

The weird thing is, this works with my local apache test install, but not
with the public production that runs on IIS.

The server reply looks perfectly OK to me (replaced the non-relevant URL
parts with xxx's):

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Server: Microsoft-IIS/5.0
Date: Tue, 03 Apr 2007 15:34:19 GMT
Connection: close
Content-Type: text/html
Location: /cgi-bin/waa1gate.isa?WAA_PACKAGE=xxxxxxx&WAA_FORM=yyyyyyy&WAA_HTML3CLASS=zzzzzzz&PAGEID=admin&EVENTID=61&SID=n7LLHYTenyPcgwAgbG22a34Uxsewe6tsCft77tMebTatwGVL53DQxRjjE6e4f7C6

Any ideas?

regards
Thomas

May I ask how your form function is constructed?

Which form function do you refer to - the one calling SetLocation() or the
form function which is the target of SetLocation()?

I created the following sample:

FUNCTION ReLocate(oH)

   oH:SetLocation(oH:GetVar("url"))

RETURN .T.

If I call it like this:

    http://www.ellistours.de/cgi-bin/waa1gate.isa?WAA_PACKAGE=testp&WAA_FORM=ReLocate&url=http://www.google.de

all I get is an empty browser window instead of the Google website...

It works without problem when using my local Apache server.

I suspect some kind of misconfiguration of my IIS installation, but I can't
see anything unusual...

Hi,

there seems to be a difference between IIS and Apache regarding the
HTTP-headers, Apache is sending "HTTP/1.1 302 Found", while IIS sends
"HTTP/1.1 200 OK", which causes the browser to do nothing at all... status
code 302 requests additional action on the browser side of the connection
(according to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_HTTP_status_codes )

So I'm asking, what the hell is going on? 

regards
Thomas

How are you getting a look at the HTTP-header?  I would appreciate the 
education.

If you aer using IE as the browser, you can use Fiddler which acts as a
proxy for IE, allowing you to examine the send and response headers and data
payloads.

If you use FireFox, you can install Firebug, which provides similar
functionality, although not as mamy features.

Fiddler is great, but on the fiddler page I found SlickRun, which is even
greater - thanks for the initial link to fiddler!

I couldn't find a reference to slickrun on the fiddler site, but a quick
google found it for me.  Out of interest, where on the fiddler site did you
find it?

I also had to do a google search to find it again <blush>

That's a nice set of dev tool links, thanks!

I'm currently using WebBug to directly send http requests to the server.

But Phil's suggestion seems to be much better... I'm currently downloading
this tool, adding one more icon to my already heavily overloaded desktop

Just tested it and this method does not work with Win 2000 Server. I don't 
think it is a misconfiguration issue.
