We are using PRO IV v5.5 and have built in a few quick links, where we are calling webpages from within PRO IV, but in the coding one does not build in the http://, this is automatically prefixed when the call is made to Explorer. I.e. in my coding I only build in from the www.xxx.xx

However I now need to build in a link that calls a page on a secure site, viz https://. When I build in my link and then call the function, it opens as http://e.xxx.xx/xx.jsp and I'm then told the site can't be find.

How can I overcome this little problem???

"in my coding I only build in from the www.xxx.xx"

Browser.URL = "hostname:8080/finportal/index.jsp" works using PROIV 5.5
Is you machin with the JSP hosted externally?
Please find the correct URL and call it with --> Browser.URL , that should work.

Check the code thats doing the call to IE or whatever browser you using, from what I gather, it doing something like this:

#A = SYSTEM('GUI WINDOWS iexplore.exe 'http://' + site ?

I just double checked running cmd (iexplore https://abc.com), and it works. Maybe try double quotes on the URL?

Hi Neil,

Thanks, yours was almost spot on. It worked for me as follows:

#A = SYSTEM('GUI /C start iexplore.exe https://www.??????.??.??')

Thanks for the assistance.

Just as a side note - why are you using the SYSTEM('GUI command. The Client.execute is a much cleaner and method. This is all - to a degree - academic, as we will all have to switch to server side objects when using the open client in version 6.2. A little short term pain - but much better in the long run.
