Re: HTTP Connection to FORMS Server

Arul:

I went through the same problem you are having; I'm assuming you want your forms server to work through the firewall without having to poke any holes other than the standard port 80 (web traffic).

You can do this with Dev 6i. Make sure you start your forms server in http connect mode and server port 80. Without docs in front of me, I think the command line syntax (for NT) is something like "ifsrv60 -port=80 -mode=http". Then, make sure your html file has the "serverport=80" and "connectMode=http" tags.
