This chapter describes the parameters that you can use to configure the Oracle HTTP Server, Apache HTTP Server, Microsoft IIS, and Oracle iPlanet Web Server plug-ins. It contains the following sections:
Note:
The parameters for the web-server plug-ins should be specified in special configuration files, which are named and formatted uniquely for each web server. For information about the configuration files specific to the plug-ins for Apache HTTP Server, Oracle HTTP Server, Microsoft IIS, and Oracle iPlanet Web Server, see the following chapters:
The general parameters for Web server plug-ins are described in the following sections. The parameter names are case sensitive.
Default: 2
Applies to: Oracle HTTP Server, Oracle iPlanet Web Server, Apache HTTP Server, Microsoft IIS
Interval in seconds that the plug-in should sleep between attempts to connect to the WebLogic Server host (or all of the servers in a cluster). Make this number less than the ConnectTimeoutSecs
. The number of times the plug-in tries to connect before returning an HTTP 503/Service Unavailable
response to the client is calculated by dividing ConnectTimeoutSecs
by ConnectRetrySecs
.
To specify no retries, set ConnectRetrySecs
equal to ConnectTimeoutSecs
. However, the plug-in attempts to connect at least twice.
You can customize the error response by using the ErrorPage
parameter.
Default: 10
Applies to: Oracle HTTP Server, Oracle iPlanet Web Server, Apache HTTP Server, Microsoft IIS
Maximum time in seconds that the plug-in should attempt to connect to the WebLogic Server host. Make the value greater than ConnectRetrySecs
. If ConnectTimeoutSecs
expires without a successful connection, even after the appropriate retries (see ConnectRetrySecs
), an HTTP 503/Service Unavailable
response is sent to the client.
You can customize the error response by using the ErrorPage
parameter.
Default: OFF
Applies to: Microsoft IIS
Sets the type of logging performed for debugging operations. The debugging information is written to c:\TEMP\wlproxy.log on Windows NT/2000 systems.
Override this location and filename by setting the WLLogFile
parameter to a different directory and file. (See the WLTempDir
parameter for an additional way to change this location.)
Ensure that the directory of the log file has write permission. Set any of the following logging options (HFC,HTW,HFW, and HTC options may be set in combination by entering them separated by commas, for example "HFC,HTW"):
ON
: The plug-in logs informational and error messages.
OFF
: No debugging information is logged.
HFC
: The plug-in logs headers from the client, informational, and error messages.
HTW
: The plug-in logs headers sent to WebLogic Server, and informational and error messages.
HFW
: The plug-in logs headers sent from WebLogic Server, and informational and error messages.
HTC
: The plug-in logs headers sent to the client, informational messages, and error messages.
ERR
: Prints only the Error messages in the plug-in.
ALL
: The plug-in logs headers sent to and from the client, headers sent to and from WebLogic Server, information messages, and error messages.
For information on setting logging without using the deprecated parameter, see Deprecated Directives for Apache HTTP Server.
Default: OFF
Applies to: Oracle HTTP Server, Oracle iPlanet Web Server, Apache HTTP Server, Microsoft IIS
Enables the special query parameter "__WebLogicBridgeConfig". Use it to get details about configuration parameters from the plug-in.
For example, if you enable "__WebLogicBridgeConfig" by setting DebugConfigInfo
and then send a request that includes the query string ?__WebLogicBridgeConfig, then the plug-in gathers the configuration information and run-time statistics and returns the information to the browser. The plug-in does not connect to WebLogic Server in this case.
This parameter is strictly for debugging and the format of the output message can change with releases. For security purposes, keep this parameter turned OFF in production systems.
Default: none
Applies to: Oracle HTTP Server, Oracle iPlanet Web Server, Apache HTTP Server, Microsoft IIS
If the URI is "/" then the plug-in performs the following steps:
Trims the path specified with the PathTrim
parameter.
Appends the value of DefaultFileName
.
Prepends the value specified with PathPrepend
.
This procedure prevents redirects from WebLogic Server.
Set the DefaultFileName to the default welcome page of the Web Application in WebLogic Server to which requests are being proxied. For example, If the DefaultFileName
is set to welcome.html, an HTTP request like "http://somehost/weblogic" becomes "http://somehost/weblogic/welcome.html". For this parameter to function, the same file must be specified as a welcome file in all the Web Applications to which requests are directed. For more information, see Configuring Welcome Pages.
Note for Apache users: If you are using Stronghold or Raven versions, define this parameter inside of a Location
block, and not in an IfModule
block.
Default: ON
Applies to: Oracle HTTP Server, Oracle iPlanet Web Server, Apache HTTP Server, Microsoft IIS
When set to OFF,
the plug-in ignores the dynamic cluster list used for load balancing requests proxied from the plug-in and only uses the static list specified with the WebLogicCluster
parameter. Normally this parameter should remain set to ON
.
There are some implications for setting this parameter to OFF
:
If one or more servers in the static list fails, the plug-in could waste time trying to connect to a terminated server, resulting in decreased performance.
If you add a new server to the cluster, the plug-in cannot proxy requests to the new server unless you redefine this parameter. WebLogic Server automatically adds new servers to the dynamic server list when they become part of the cluster.
Default: none
Applies to: Oracle HTTP Server, Oracle iPlanet Web Server, Apache HTTP Server, Microsoft IIS
You can create your own error page that is displayed when your Web server cannot forward requests to WebLogic Server.
The plug-in redirects to an error page when the back-end server returns an HTTP 503/Service Unavailable response and there are no servers for failover.
Default: ON
Applies to: Oracle HTTP Server, Oracle iPlanet Web Server, Apache HTTP Server, Microsoft IIS
When set to ON
, and the size of the POST data in a request is greater than 2048 bytes, the POST data is first read into a temporary file on disk and then forwarded to the WebLogic Server in chunks of 8192 bytes. This preserves the POST data during failover, allowing all necessary data to be repeated to the secondary if the primary goes down.
When FileCaching
is ON
, any client that tracks the progress of the POST will see that the transfer has completed even though the data is still being transferred between the WebServer and WebLogic. So, if you want the progress bar displayed by a browser during the upload to reflect when the data is actually available on the WebLogic Server, you might not want to have FileCaching
ON
.
When set to OFF
and the size of the POST data in a request is greater than 2048 bytes, the reading of the POST data is postponed until a WebLogic Server cluster member is identified to serve the request. Then the plug-in reads and immediately sends the POST data to the WebLogic Server in chunks of 8192 bytes.
Turning FileCaching
OFF
limits failover. If the WebLogic Server primary server goes down while processing the request, the POST data already sent to the primary cannot be repeated to the secondary.
Finally, regardless of how FileCaching
is set, if the size of the POST data is 2048 bytes or less the plug-in will read the data into memory and use it if needed during failover to repeat to the secondary.
Default: ON
Applies to: Oracle HTTP Server, Oracle iPlanet Web Server, Apache HTTP Server, Microsoft IIS
When set to ON and if the servers do not respond within WLIOTimeoutSecs, the plug-ins fail over if the method is idempotent.
The plug-ins also fail over if Idempotent is set to ON and the servers respond with an error such as READ_ERROR_FROM_SERVER
.
If set to "OFF" the plug-ins do not fail over. If you are using the Apache HTTP Server you can set this parameter differently for different URLs or MIME types.
Idempotent only takes effect if the request has been successfully sent to WebLogic Server and the plugin is now waiting for a response from backend server.
Default: true (Microsoft IIS plug-in), ON (Oracle HTTP Server and Apache HTTP Server), ON (Oracle iPlanet Web Server)
Applies to: Oracle HTTP Server, Oracle iPlanet Web Server, Apache HTTP Server, Microsoft IIS
Enables pooling of connections between the plug-in and WebLogic Server.
Valid values for the Microsoft IIS plug-ins are true and false.
Valid values for the Apache HTTP Server are ON
and OFF
.
While using Apache prefork mpm, Apache web server might fail. Set KeepAliveEnabled
to OFF when using prefork mpm or use worker mpm in Apache.
Valid values for Oracle iPlanet Webserver are ON
and OFF
Default: 20
Applies to: Oracle HTTP Server, Oracle iPlanet Web Server, Apache HTTP Server, Microsoft IIS
The length of time after which an inactive connection between the plug-in and WebLogic Server is closed. You must set KeepAliveEnabled
to true (ON when using the Apache HTTP Server) for this parameter to be effective.
The value of this parameter must be less than or equal to the value of the Duration field set in the Administration Console on the Server/HTTP tab, or the value set on the server Mbean with the KeepAliveSecs
attribute.
Default: none
Applies to: Oracle HTTP Server, Apache HTTP Server
Use this parameter to modify the values of existing parameters or add a new parameter for a particular configuration.
The MatchExpression parameter supports only the *
and ?
regular expressions
*
which matches 0 or more characters
?
which matches exactly one character
This parameter can be configured for two scenarios.
Proxying by MIME type:
You can use this parameter in the following format to set other parameters for a particular MIME type.
Syntax:
MatchExpression <file_extension> <param=value>|<param-value>|…
For example, the following configuration proxies *.jsp
to myHost:8080
:
<IfModule weblogic_module> MatchExpression *.jsp WebLogicHost=myHost|WebLogicPort=8080 </IfModule>
Proxying by path:
You can also use this parameter in the following format to set other parameters for a particular path.
Syntax:
MatchExpression <path> <param=value>|<param-value>|…
For example, the following configuration proxies the URIs beginning with /weblogic
to myHost:9090
:
<IfModule weblogic_module> MatchExpression /weblogic WebLogicHost=myHost|WebLogicPort=9090 </IfModule>
You can also use MatchExpression
to override the parameter values, as shown above. It can also be used to define new parameters (this is, those that have not been used in the configuration).
For example, the configuration below proxies all the requests to myHost:8080
. The URIs that match the type jpg
will be proxied to myHost:8080/images
and others will be proxied to myHost:8080
.
<IfModule weblogic_module> SetHandler weblogic-handler WebLogicHost myHost WebLogicPort 8080 MatchExpression *.jpg PathPrepend=/images </IfModule>
You can find more examples of how to use MatchExpression in Configuring the Plug-In for Apache HTTP Server.
Default: 0
Applies to: Oracle HTTP Server, Oracle iPlanet Web Server, Apache HTTP Server, Microsoft IIS
Maximum allowable size of POST data, in bytes. If the content-length exceeds MaxPostSize
, the plug-in returns an error message. If set to 0, the size of POST data is not checked. This is useful for preventing denial-of-service attacks that attempt to overload the server with POST data.
Default: 10
Applies to: Oracle HTTP Server, Oracle iPlanet Web Server, Apache HTTP Server, Microsoft IIS
If a WebLogic Server listed in either the WebLogicCluster
parameter or a dynamic cluster list returned from WebLogic Server fails, the failed server is marked as "bad" and the plug-in attempts to connect to the next server in the list.
MaxSkipTime
sets the amount of time after which the plug-in will retry the server marked as "bad." The plug-in attempts to connect to a new server in the list each time a unique request is received (that is, a request without a cookie).
Default: null
Applies to: Oracle HTTP Server, Oracle iPlanet Web Server, Apache HTTP Server, Microsoft IIS
As per the RFC specification, generic syntax for URL is:
[PROTOCOL]://[HOSTNAME]:{PORT}/{PATH}/{FILENAME};{PATH_PARAMS}/{QUERY_STRING}...
PathPrepend
specifies the path that the plug-in prepends to the {PATH}
portion of the original URL, after PathTrim is trimmed and before the request is forwarded to WebLogic Server.
If you must append a File Name, use DefaultFileName
parameter instead of PathPrepend
.
Default: null
Applies to: Oracle HTTP Server, Oracle iPlanet Web Server, Apache HTTP Server, Microsoft IIS
As per the RFC specification, generic syntax for URL is:
[PROTOCOL]://[HOSTNAME]:{PORT}/{PATH}/{FILENAME};{PATH_PARAMS}/{QUERY_STRING}...
PathTrim
specifies the string trimmed by the plug-in from the {PATH}/{FILENAME}
portion of the original URL, before the request is forwarded to WebLogic Server. For example, if this URL:
http://myWeb.server.com/weblogic/foo
is passed to the plug-in for parsing and if PathTrim
has been set to strip off /weblogic
before handing the URL to WebLogic Server, the URL forwarded to WebLogic Server is:
http://myWeb.server.com:7001/foo
If you are newly converting an existing third-party server to proxy requests to WebLogic Server using the plug-in, you will need to change application paths to /foo
to include weblogic/foo
. You can use PathTrim
and PathPrepend
in combination to change this path.
Default: OFF
Applies to: Oracle HTTP Server, Apache HTTP Server
When set to ON
, specifies that the Apache HTTP Server use
(request_rec *)r->the_request
to pass the query string to WebLogic Server. (For more information, see the Apache documentation.) This behavior is desirable when a Netscape version 4.x browser makes requests that contain spaces in the query string
When set to OFF
, the Apache HTTP Server uses (request_rec *)r->args
to pass the query string to WebLogic Server.
Required when proxying to a cluster of WebLogic Servers, or to multiple non-clustered servers.
Default: none
Applies to: Oracle HTTP Server, Oracle iPlanet Web Server, Apache HTTP Server, Microsoft IIS
The WebLogicCluster
parameter is required to proxy a list of back-end servers that are clustered, or to perform load balancing among non-clustered managed server instances.
List of WebLogic Servers that can be used for load balancing. The server or cluster list is a list of host:port
entries. If a mixed set of clusters and single servers is specified, the dynamic list returned for this parameter will return only the clustered servers.
The syntax for specifying the value of this parameter varies depending on the web server for which you are configuring the plug-in. For more information, see the following:
If you are using SSL between the plug-in and WebLogic Server, set the port number to the SSL listen port and set the SecureProxy parameter to ON.
The plug-in does a simple round-robin between all available servers. The server list specified in this property is a starting point for the dynamic server list that the server and plug-in maintain. WebLogic Server and the plug-in work together to update the server list automatically with new, failed, and recovered cluster members.
You can disable the use of the dynamic cluster list by setting the DynamicServerList parameter to OFF
.
The plug-in directs HTTP requests containing a cookie, URL-encoded session, or a session stored in the POST data to the server in the cluster that created the cookie.
Required when proxying to a single WebLogic Server.
Default: none
Applies to: Oracle HTTP Server, Oracle iPlanet Web Server, Apache HTTP Server, Microsoft IIS
WebLogic Server host (or virtual host name as defined in WebLogic Server) to which HTTP requests should be forwarded. If you are using a WebLogic cluster, use the WebLogicCluster
parameter instead of WebLogicHost
.
Required when proxying to a single WebLogic Server.
Default: none
Applies to: Oracle HTTP Server, Oracle iPlanet Web Server, Apache HTTP Server, Microsoft IIS
Port at which the WebLogic Server host is listening for connection requests from the plug-in (or from other servers). (If you are using SSL between the plug-in and WebLogic Server, set this parameter to the SSL listen port and set the SecureProxy
parameter to ON).
If you are using a WebLogic Cluster, use the WebLogicCluster
parameter instead of WebLogicPort
.
Default: JSESSIONID
Applies to: Oracle HTTP Server, Oracle iPlanet Web Server, Apache HTTP Server, Microsoft IIS
If you change the name of the WebLogic Server session cookie in the WebLogic Server Web application, then you must change the WLCookieName
parameter in the plug-in to the same value. The name of the WebLogic session cookie is set in the WebLogic-specific deployment descriptor, in the <session-descriptor>
element in weblogic.xml
.
Default: 0 (Lookup once, during startup)
Applies to: Oracle HTTP Server, Oracle iPlanet Web Server, Apache HTTP Server
If defined in the proxy configuration, specifies number of seconds interval at which WebLogic Server refreshes DNS name to IP mapping for a server. This can be used if a WebLogic Server instance is migrated to a different IP address, but the DNS name for that server's IP remains the same. In this case, at the specified refresh interval the DNS<->IP mapping will be updated.
Default: none
Applies to: Oracle HTTP Server, Oracle iPlanet Web Server, Apache HTTP Server, Microsoft IIS
This parameter allows you to exclude certain requests from proxying.
This parameter can be defined locally at the Location tag level and globally. When the property is defined locally, it does not override the global property but defines a union of the two parameters.
Default: False
Applies to: Microsoft IIS
By default, IIS plug-in buffers chunked transfer encoding responses instead of streaming the chunks as they are received. When the flag WLFlushChunks
is set to true, the plug-in flushes chunks immediately as they are received from WebLogic Server.
Default: OFF
Applies to: Oracle HTTP Server, Apache HTTP Server
When set to ON, the WLS plug-in will forward the original URI from the client to WebLogic Server. When set to OFF (default), the URI sent to WebLogic Server is subject to modification by mod_rewrite or other web server plug-in modules.
New name for HungServerRecoverSecs
.
Default: 300
Applies to: Oracle HTTP Server, Oracle iPlanet Web Server, Apache HTTP Server, Microsoft IIS
Defines the amount of time the plug-in waits for a response to a request from WebLogic Server. The plug-in waits for WLIOTimeoutSecs
for the server to respond and then declares that server dead, and fails over to the next server. The value should be set to a very large value. If the value is less than the time the servlets take to process, then you may see unexpected results.
Minimum value: 10
Maximum value: Unlimited
Default: none
Applies to: Oracle HTTP Server, Oracle iPlanet Web Server, Apache HTTP Server, Microsoft IIS
Defines the IP address (on the plug-in's system) to bind to when the plug-in connects to a WebLogic Server instance running on a multihomed machine.
If WLLocalIP
is not set, then the TCP/IP stack will choose the source IP address.
Default: See the Debug
parameter
Applies to: Microsoft IIS
Specifies path and file name for the log file that is generated when the Debug
parameter is set to ON
. You must create this directory before setting this parameter.
For information on setting logging without using the deprecated parameter, see Deprecated Directives for Apache HTTP Server.
Default: Windows: Half of ThreadsPerChild, Non-Windows: Half of MaxRequestWorkers (or MaxClients for Apache 2.2)
Applies to: Oracle HTTP Server, Apache HTTP Server
Limits the number of active WebSocket connections at any instant of time.
Note:
The maximum value you can set for this parameter is 75 percent of ThreadsPerChild
(Windows) or 75 percent of MaxRequestWorkers
(or MaxClients
for Apache 2.2, non-Windows). If the value specified for this parameter is greater than the maximum allowed, it will be automatically lowered to that maximum.
Default: OFF
Applies to: Oracle HTTP Server, Oracle iPlanet Web Server, Apache HTTP Server, Microsoft IIS
If you have a chained proxy setup, where a proxy plug-in or HttpClusterServlet
is running behind some other proxy or load balancer, you must explicitly enable the WLProxyPassThrough
parameter. This parameter allows the header to be passed through the chain of proxies.
Default: OFF
Applies to: Oracle HTTP Server, Oracle iPlanet Web Server, Apache HTTP Server, Microsoft IIS
Set this parameter to ON
to maintain SSL communication between the plug-in and WebLogic Server when the following conditions exist:
An HTTP client request specifies the HTTPS protocol
The request is passed through one or more proxy servers (including the Oracle WebLogic Server Proxy Plug-In)
The connection between the plug-in and WebLogic Server uses the HTTP protocol
When WLProxySSL
is set to ON
, the location header returned to the client from WebLogic Server specifies the HTTPS protocol.
Default: OFF
Applies to: Oracle HTTP Server, Oracle iPlanet Web Server, Apache HTTP Server, Microsoft IIS
If a load balancer or other software deployed in front of the web server and plug-in is the SSL termination point, and that product sets the WL-Proxy-SSL request header to true or false based on whether the client connected to it over SSL, set WLProxySSLPassThrough
to ON so that the use of SSL is passed on to the Oracle WebLogic Server.
If the SSL termination point is in the web server where the plug-in operates, or the load balancer does not set WL-Proxy-SSL, set WLProxySSLPassThrough
to OFF (default).
Default: ALL
Applies to: Oracle HTTP Server, Oracle iPlanet Web Server, Apache HTTP Server, Microsoft IIS
Tells the Apache plug-in which requests to retry when a connection is lost before WLS sends the status line. Valid arguments are:
ALL
: All requests will be retried.
IDEMPOTENT
: Only requests using idempotent methods will be retried.
NONE
: No requests will be retried.
Default: ON
Applies to: Microsoft IIS
When this parameter is set to ON, the header and body of the response are sent in separate packets.
Note:
If you must send the header and body of the response in two calls, for example, in cases where you have other ISAPI filters or programmatic clients that expect headers before the body, set this parameter to ON.
Default: ON
Applies to: Oracle HTTP Server, Oracle iPlanet Web Server, Apache HTTP Server, Microsoft IIS
This controls whether a 503 error response from Oracle WebLogic Server triggers a failover to another server. Normally, the plug-in will attempt to failover to another server when a 503 error response is received. When WLServerInitiatedFailover
is set to OFF, the 503 error response will be returned to the client immediately.
Default: 2 (must be greater than 0)
Applies to: Oracle HTTP Server, Oracle iPlanet Web Server, Apache HTTP Server, Microsoft IIS
Set the timeout for the socket while connecting, in seconds. See ConnectTimeoutSecs
and ConnectRetrySecs
for additional details.
Default: OFF
Applies to: Oracle HTTP Server, Apache HTTP Server
This is an alternative to the WLSRequest On mechanism of identifying requests to be forwarded to Oracle WebLogic Server. For example,
<Location /weblogic> WLSRequest ON PathTrim /weblogic </Location>
The use of WLSRequest
ON instead of SetHandler
weblogic-handler has the following advantages:
Lower web server processing overhead in general
Resolves substantial performance degradation when the web server DocumentRoot
is on a slow filesystem
Resolves 403 errors for URIs which cannot be mapped to the filesystem due to the filesystem length restrictions
Default: See the Debug
parameter
Applies to: Oracle HTTP Server, Oracle iPlanet Web Server, Apache HTTP Server, Microsoft IIS
For Oracle HTTP Server, Apache HTTP Server and Oracle iPlanet HTTP Server, this directive specifies the location of the _wl_proxy directory for POST data files.
For Microsoft IIS, this directive specifies the directory where a wlproxy.log will be created. If the location fails, the Plug-In resorts to creating the log file under C:/temp. It also specifies the location of the _wl_proxy directory for POST data files. When both WLTempDir
and WLLogFile
are set, WLLogFile
will override the location of wlproxy.log. WLTempDir
will still determine the location of _wl_proxy directory.
Note:
SCG Certificates are not supported for use with Oracle WebLogic Server Proxy Plug-In. Non-SCG certificates work appropriately and allow SSL communication between WebLogic Server and the plug-in.
KeyStore-related initialization parameters are not supported for use with Oracle WebLogic Server Proxy Plug-In.
The SSL parameters for Web Server plug-ins are described in the following sections. Parameters are case sensitive.
Default: OFF
Applies to: Oracle HTTP Server, Oracle iPlanet Web Server, Apache HTTP Server, Microsoft IIS
Set this parameter to ON to enable the use of the SSL protocol for all communication between the plug-in and WebLogic Server. Remember to configure a port on the corresponding WebLogic Server for the SSL protocol before defining this parameter.
This parameter may be set at two levels: in the configuration for the main server and—if you have defined any virtual hosts—in the configuration for the virtual host. The configuration for the virtual host inherits the SSL configuration from the configuration of the main server if the setting is not overridden in the configuration for the virtual host.
Default: The best protocol supported by both the plug-in and WebLogic Server.
Applies to: Oracle HTTP Server, Apache HTTP Server
Specifies the SSL protocol version to use for communication between the plug-in and the WebLogic Server. This setting does not need to match that of the web server's ssl.conf
file. Plug-in can have its own SSL version to communicate with WebLogic Server.
The following values are accepted:
TLSv1
: Uses TLS v1.0
TLSv1_1
: Uses TLS v1.1
TLSv1_2
: Uses TLS v1.2
For example:
WebLogicSSLVersion TLSv1_1 TLSv1_2
You can define multiple protocols by using a space-separated list. The SSL protocol version chosen is used for all the connections from the plug-in to WebLogic Server. Hence define this parameter at the global scope.
If not configured, the plug-in uses the best protocol supported by both the plug-in and WebLogic Server.
Default: none
Applies to: Oracle HTTP Server, Oracle iPlanet Web Server, Apache HTTP Server, Microsoft IIS
WLSSLWallet
performs one-way or two-way SSL based on how SSL is configured for Oracle WebLogic Server.
Requires the path of an Oracle Wallet (containing an SSO wallet file) as an argument. For example:
WLSSLWallet "${ORACLE_INSTANCE}/config/fmwconfig/components/${COMPONENT_TYPE}/instances/${COMPONENT_NAME}/keystores/default"
When the FileCaching parameter is set to ON, and the size of the POST data in a request is greater than 2048 bytes, the POST data is first read into a temporary file on disk and then forwarded to the WebLogic Server in chunks of 8192 bytes. This preserves the POST data during failover.
The temporary POST file is located under /tmp/_wl_proxy
for UNIX. For Windows it is located as follows (if WLTempDir
is not specified):
Environment variable TMP
Environment variable TEMP
C:\Temp
/tmp/_wl_proxy
is a fixed directory and is owned by the HTTP Server user. When there are multiple HTTP Servers installed by different users, some HTTP Servers might not be able to write to this directory. This condition results in an error.
To correct this condition, use the WLTempDir
parameter to specify a different location for the _wl_proxy
directory for POST data files.
