Symptoms
Clicking link to a mod_osso protected URL results in:
Cannot find server or DNS Error
Clicking back button or entering URL again and the URL is displayed correctly. This is because the OHS cookie is set (258200.1).
HTTPS (SSL) is configured between the browser and a reverse proxy, e.g. Webcache.
HTTP is configured between the reverse proxy and the midtier OHS where the protected URL is served.
So the configuration is like this:
browser -- HTTPS --> Webcache -- HTTP --> OHS
The failing URL is shown as the originally requested URL except that the "https:..." is replaced with "http:..."
This can be confirmed using http header trace (see 248870.1 step 7)
