Rewrite For Forms URL From One Config Section To Another Does Not Work with SSL (Doc ID 403999.1)

Last updated on OCTOBER 09, 2023

Applies to:

Oracle Forms - Version 10.1.2.0.2 and later
Information in this document applies to any platform.
This problem can occur on any platform.

Symptoms

You have followed instructions to redirect/rewrite forms application URL to the same URL but with a different config section e.g When user enters URL http://machine.domain:port/forms/frmservlet?config=abc, it should be redirected to
"http://machine.domain:port/forms/frmservlet?config=def"

and have added the below lines to httpd.conf :

...
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^config=abc [NC]
RewriteRule ^/(.*) http://machine.domain:port/forms/frmservlet?config=dev [R]
...

The above rewrite rule works for HTTP but fails for HTTPS i.e if you change the above rule to

...
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^config=abc [NC]
RewriteRule ^/(.*) https://machine.domain:sslport/forms/frmservlet?config=dev [R]
...

it does not rewrite the URL at all.
