Problem Note 31761: The parameter might not convert absolute URLs to
relative ones when using the HTTP protocol
By default, SAS Web Report Studio uses absolute URLs for actions that communicate with the Web server (e.g., requests for images, pages, and user interface actions). The parameter that controls this functionality is called <forceRelativeURLs>, and it is set in the WebReportStudioProperties.xml file.
<wrs.viewutils>
<!-- if set to true, this option forces all requested URLs for -->
<!-- images, pages, and UI actions that communicate with the web -->
<!-- server to be formed with relative paths. The default is false. -->
<!-- but must be set to true for WEBSEAL applications. -->
<forceRelativeURLs>FALSE</forceRelativeURLs>
</wrs.viewutils>
|
To use relative URLs, you can change the <forceRelativeURLs> parameter to TRUE. However, if you are using HTTP protocol, then your setting might not be honored, which means that your URLs will still be absolute. (The parameter setting should work correctly with HTTPS protocol.)
Note: Since WEBSEAL applications must use relative URLs, this issue will prevent WEBSEAL applications from working correctly.

For software releases that are not yet generally available, the Fixed
Release is the software release in which the problem is planned to be
fixed.
The <forceRelativeURLs> parameter might not be honored and therefore not convert absolute URLs to relative ones when using the HTTP protocol. Whereas it does work with https.
