Launch Tool "HTTP client"

This launch tool lets you open an URL in your default or a custom browser. Tunneling the web service through multiple Jump Servers is supported.

When tunneling an https secured web service, the browser won't be able to verify the SSL certificate because the host part of the URL needs to be changed to 127.0.0.1. For testing purposes, you can disable the certificate verification in your browser. For chrome, you could set these arguments:

  • LT.BROWSER_ARGS="--ignore-certificate-errors --allow-running-insecure-content --test-type"
  • LT.BROWSER="chrome"

Connection configuration:

  • HOST/IP: The URL to open in the browser

Connection configuration (multiple jump mode) :

  • HOST/IP: Set the template variable {{LTRET.FWD_HOST}}
  • PORT: Set the template variable {{LTRET.FWD_PORT}}
  • Logical Host: Set the remote URL to open in the browser. The host and port will be automatically replaced so that the traffic will be routed through the tunnel. You may set a context (e.g. http://mydomain.localhost/my/custom/context).

Parameters:

  • LT.BROWSER (default=AUTO): If AUTO, the URL will be opened in your default browser. You can define another browser, e.g. "msedge", "chrome", "firefox", ...
  • LT.BROWSER_ARGS (default=<empty>): Set a space-separated list of arguments for the browser. Works only if LT.BROWSER is not set to AUTO. Example: "--new-window --incognito" (and LT.BROWSER="chrome")
  • LT.ENABLE_MULTIPLE_JUMP (default=false): Enables support for tunneling the Web service, see function WinSSHTerm-StartMultipleJump in Common_Functions
  • LT.MULTIPLE_JUMP_REPLACE_HOST (default=true): If true, the host of the URL in Logical Host will be replaced to 127.0.0.1. Set this to false if you use a DNS proxy or change the hosts file.
