Overview

HTTP tunneling can be used by specifying the parameter when client applications are started.
See Setting up the Web Server Environment for details of setting up the Web server environment.
See Setting up HTTP Tunneling for details of the startup parameters.
Note
For HTTP tunneling, Interstage HTTP Server can be used as a Web server. In a Windows system,
InfoProvider Pro and Microsoft Internet Information Services can be used. In a Solaris OE system,
InfoProvider Pro can be used.
Refer to the following manual for details of the Web server functions, and terms related to operating
procedures and commands.
Setting up the Web Server Environment
The HTTP-IIOP gateway must be established in the Web server when HTTP tunneling is used. The
procedure is described below.
Establishing HTTP-IIOP Gateway
The HTTP-IIOP Gateway can be established using:
• Web Server (InfoProvider Pro), or
• Internet Information Services.
Notes
• Check the CORBA Service is operating on Web Server when the HTTP-IIOP gateway operates.
• When using the HTTP tunneling function in the IPv6 environment, the following conditions must be
met.
− The Web server needs to be operated in IPv6.
− In the IIOP_hostname parameter in the config file, do not set an IPv6 format address or a host
name that can be resolved in the IPv6 format.
