Thanks Mark :-) crisb> Is it possible to connect IIS to TC using HTTP instead of AJP? crisb> Several "Tomcat IIS How-To" articles all mention using AJP crisb> (not HTTP) using an ISAPI redirector.
markt> In theory, yes. You'd need to find an HTTP reverse proxy component for IIS. markt> This looks like the sort of thing you'd need: markt> https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/iis/extensions/url-rewrite-module/ markt> reverse-proxy-with-url-rewrite-v2-and-application-request-routing markt> The downside is that you will need to manually configure a lot of the stuff markt> AJP does "for free". Correctly configuring a reverse proxy is one of those markt> tasks where all sorts of things can catch you out. Yeah, that looks way more complicated than what I was hoping for. Talked with the sysadmin about it and he agreed, even though he implemented it on at least one of our dev servers. We may roll that back in light of your suggestion below. markt> I'd probably look at getting IIS to compress the content instead: markt> https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/iis/extensions/iis-compression/iis-compression-overview That looks better, much less complex and fragile. I see in the "<httpCompression> element in applicationHost.config" that you can specify mimeType's - perfect. We'll see what the SA thinks. The other option the SA and I talked about was dropping IIS altogether. ;-) -- Cris Berneburg CACI Senior Software Engineer ________________________________ This electronic message contains information from CACI International Inc or subsidiary companies, which may be company sensitive, proprietary, privileged or otherwise protected from disclosure.
