Re: Problem submitting forms over SSL

Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately, it did not help.

What http recorder tool did you use? Perhaps there is some other header
not being set that a browser automatically sets.

I am not sure if this will help you out at all, but I think httpunit
doesn't
include some headers on all of its requests, and maybe apache is looking
for specific headers. I just ran into a problem where httpunit was not
including the "Referer" header in a request so I manually set it (using
WebClient.setHeaderField) and my test worked.

I came to this conclusion by running both a browser and http unit
through an http recorder and comparing the output. The browser
representing what the headers should look like and httpunit being what
the headers are.

You may give that a shot.

Subject: Re: [Httpunit-develop] Problem submitting forms over SSL

I did some further testing, and I discovered that my code also works
with SSL sites and form submission over SSL (I tried an on-line banking
website), just not my applications.

My applications have been in use for about 2 years and used by hundreds
of people with different browsers...

Perhaps it is my architecture? I have a firewall, a load balancer, a
reverse proxy, and then finally the application server.

I tried running the tests from the clients perspective (going through
the whole stack), and also from the server - only connecting to the
application server - still with the same results. Does httpunit have
issues with apache 1.3.x?

One item to note: I don't ever get any exceptions thrown - every thing
seems to be working, but I just don't get the full response from the
server.

I am attempting to write some httpunit tests of a ssl web application
that I have. My applications are using ssl certs from Thawte.

I have tested my code on sites such as google and it works just fine.
However, when I attempt to submit forms on my applications, I only get
the original URL - or a 302 response with no location header. One
application, the form submits to another URL, and on one application,
the application redirects the browser upon successful authentication. I
have tried both the 1.4.2_10 and the 1.5.0_06 Sun JDKs (linux) and get
the same response. I am using httpunit 1.6.2.

My applications do not use javascript.

Has any one had similar problems to what I am having?

Here is the output I get:
