PASOE CompatibilityHandler not returning correct HTTP Status

Posted by adamy on 31-Dec-2019 14:25

I am running into the same issue as described form the post: https://community.progress.com/community_groups/openedge_development/f/19/p/37128/115774

This was almost 2 years ago and in that thread it said there was a hotfix but I am currently running PASOE 12.1 and still getting this issue. 

I have tried the same things as the prior post with a "302" and "302 Redirect" headers but still always get a 200 back. 

Is this still a known issue and some sort of tech support ticket is required to get a hotfix to apply?

The way Peter left it, you can’t do CGI things with PASOE because PASOE does not use CGI. Can you post your code snippet on doing the redirect?
 
Thanks

I've been very disappointed with PAS OE, trying to convert over our legacy webspeed programs has been a nightmare - it's like progress is going backwards with web technologies.

The workaround in the thread where I reported the issue still appears to work.  We use code something like this in old WebSpeed logic to handle the redirects:

// If PASOE Agent, generate new style header
IF multi-session-agent() THEN   
  output-http-header("","HTTP/1.1 302 Redirect").
ELSE 
  output-http-header("Status","301" + " Redirect").

output-http-header ("URI",p-loc).
output-http-header("","").

We are no longer using old WebSpeed.  There were a number of things we had to tweak to get our old WebSpeed programs running under PASOE, but they do work.

Happy New Year!
