Question

Error on redirect from another application

Hi

I am trying to redirect my request from another application (J2EE) to a Thingworx Portal created by us.

I have added the following in the URL as well :  appKey=4865d586-a267-4e52-bc63-7d97c2757412&x-thingworx-session=true


But on the first first hit it gives an error page (401 unauthorised) and if I refresh the page the URL is picked up and gets me into the application.


Could you please advise the possible problem. Do I need to make some configuration changes.


I am using Thingworx 5.0.x and on 64 bit.


I am attaching the access logs as below:



Error Log

The URL is same in both the cases. All I am doing is pressing F5 after the first 401 unauthorised failure.



Kindly advise


Regards

Saurabh

    Hi Saurabh,

    Have you tested this programmatically? We've noticed some weirdness when using a web browser to make these calls that you don't see when making them programmatically.

    Hi


    I am trying to call the URL from a Spring Web application deployed on the same server.

    I am using a redirect to hit the URL from the Spring. 



    Also, I tried to use the below mentioned code snippet. But I a still getting 401 error.





     try {

        timeout=0;

           HttpURLConnection connection = (HttpURLConnection) new URL(url).openConnection();

           connection.setConnectTimeout(timeout);

           connection.setReadTimeout(timeout);

           //connection.setRequestMethod("HEAD");

           //connection.set

           int responseCode = connection.getResponseCode();

           return (200 <= responseCode && responseCode <= 399);

       } catch (IOException exception) {

           return false;

       }
