Problem Note 49903: SAS® Model Manager fails with server "failed to respond with a valid HTTP response ..." errors
 |  |  |  |  |
When SAS Model Manager is configured in an SSL environment, the SAS Model Manager Workflow Console from the Swing GUI application fails. Actions such as Manage Workflow, My Workflow Inbox, and Create New Workflow Instance, all fail. The following error message is displayed in the web application server log:
org.apache.commons.httpclient.ProtocolException: The server <server name>.sas.com failed to respond with a valid HTTP response at org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpMethodBase.readStatusLine(HttpMethodBase.java:1987) at org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpMethodBase.readResponse(HttpMethodBase.java:1735) at org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpMethodBase.execute(HttpMethodBase.java:1098) at org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpMethodDirector.executeWithRetry(HttpMethodDire ctor.java:398)
Note that the failure message references HTTP and not HTTPS. The incorrect protocol was chosen for the URL.
