Problem with java-rmi.cgi

[GurraG Cajander]

Hi all!

I know this might not be the correct thread but i give it a try.

My problem is that i can't get my RMI http-to-cgi connection to get going.
My client is running behind a restricted firewall with only HTTP 80 open.
My server is not behind any firewall.

Everytime i'm trying to connect to my webserver it says this:

 java.rmi.UnmarshalException: Error unmarshaling return header; nested exception is: 
	java.io.IOException: HTTP request failed

In my apache error log it says:

[error] [client xx.xxx.x.xx] (104)Connection reset by peer: ap_content_length_filter: apr_bucket_read() failed

In my access log it says:

"POST http://xx.xxx.xxx.xxx/cgi-bin/java-rmi.cgi?forward=1099 HTTP/1.1" 500 415 "-" "Java/1.7.0"

I've set my socket factory like this:

RMISocketFactory.setSocketFactory(new sun.rmi.transport.proxy.RMIHttpToCGISocketFactory());

And my java-rmi.cgi script looks like this:

# This class will support a QUERY_STRING of the form "forward=<port>" # with a REQUEST_METHOD "POST". The body of the request will be # forwarded (as another POST request) to the server listening on the # specified port (must be >= 1024). The response from this forwarded # request will be the response to the original request. # # CONFIGURATION: # # Fill in correct absolute path to Java interpreter below. For example, # the "PATH=" line might be changed to the follow if the JDK is installed # at the path "/home/peter/java": # # PATH=/home/peter/java/bin:$PATH # PATH=/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.7.0-openjdk-amd64/bin:$PATH exec java \ -DAUTH_TYPE="$AUTH_TYPE" \ -DCONTENT_LENGTH="$CONTENT_LENGTH" \ -DCONTENT_TYPE="$CONTENT_TYPE" \ -DGATEWAY_INTERFACE="$GATEWAY_INTERFACE" \ -DHTTP_ACCEPT="$HTTP_ACCEPT" \ -DPATH_INFO="$PATH_INFO" \ -DPATH_TRANSLATED="$PATH_TRANSLATED" \ -DQUERY_STRING="$QUERY_STRING" \ -DREMOTE_ADDR="$REMOTE_ADDR" \ -DREMOTE_HOST="$REMOTE_HOST" \ -DREMOTE_IDENT="$REMOTE_IDENT" \ -DREMOTE_USER="$REMOTE_USER" \ -DREQUEST_METHOD="$REQUEST_METHOD" \ -DSCRIPT_NAME="$SCRIPT_NAME" \ -DSERVER_NAME="$SERVER_NAME" \ -DSERVER_PORT="$SERVER_PORT" \ -DSERVER_PROTOCOL="$SERVER_PROTOCOL" \ -DSERVER_SOFTWARE="$SERVER_SOFTWARE" \ sun.rmi.transport.proxy.CGIHandler


I can't figure out why i get HTTP 500 everytime...

Maybe my script?
My AUTH_TYPE and QUERY_STRING is always empty, but i do get remote host and port and server.

EDIT: I tried the script in my web browser and it works fine. Doing what it's supose to do. Anyone here that know anything about the java-rmi.cgi script?
Help please!

Hi,

Welcome to CodeRanch!

Its nice to see that you are using code tags in your first post itself!

As this question is more specific to RMI-CGI (and not 'Java in General'), I'm moving it to 'Distributed Java' forum.
