This tab enables you to configure certain advanced features of the
Connection filter. The following configuration options
are available:
Handles Redirects:
Specifies whether the Enterprise Gateway handles HTTP redirects,
and connects to the redirect URL specified in the HTTP response.
This setting is enabled by default.
Send via Proxy:
Select this option if the Enterprise Gateway must connect to the destination Web
Service through an HTTP proxy. In this case, the Enterprise Gateway includes
the full URL of the destination Web Service in the request line of the
HTTP request. For example, if the destination Web Service resides at
http://localhost:8080/services , the request
line is as follows:
| | |
|
POST http://localhost:8080/services HTTP/1.1
| |
| | |
|
If the Enterprise Gateway is not routing through a proxy, the request line is
as follows:
Proxy Server:
You can configure a specific proxy server to use for the connection in the
Proxy Server field. Click the button next to this field, and
select an existing proxy server in the dialog. You must have already configured
the proxy server on the External Connections tab.
For more details, see the Proxy
Servers topic.
Transparent Proxy (present client's IP address to server)
Enables the use of the Enterprise Gateway as a transparent proxy
on Linux systems with the TPROXY kernel option set. When selected,
the IP address of the original client connection that caused the circuit to be
invoked is used as the local address of the connection to the destination server.
For more details, see Configuring a
Transparent Proxy.
Ciphers:
The Ciphers field enables the administrator to specify
the ciphers that the server supports. The server sends this list of
supported ciphers to the destination server, which then selects the
highest strength common cipher as part of the SSL handshake. The
selected cipher is then used to encrypt the data as it is sent over
the secure channel.
HTTP Host Header:
An HTTP 1.1 client must send a Host
header in all HTTP 1.1 requests. The Host header identifies
the host name and port number of the requested resource as specified in the
original URL given by the client.
When routing messages on to target Web Services, the Enterprise Gateway can forward on
the Host as received from the client, or it can specify the
address and port number of the destination Web Service in the Host
header that it routes onwards.
Select Use Host header specified by client to force
the Enterprise Gateway to always forward on the original Host
header that it received from the client. Alternatively, to configure
the Enterprise Gateway to include the address and port number of the destination Web
Service in the Host header, select the
Generate new Host header radio button.
