Problems with latest PWB.

Post by Philip Runels »

Hello, We seem to have noticed an issue when trying to execute pwb.exe and using an http or expecially an https address, (e.g. pwb.exe https:\\URL) It does not error, but it also does not display anything--nothing happens. When using the version 2.0.9.0 pwb.exe, we have no issues.

Has anyone experience something similar? And if so, could you please elaborate on what may be the issue?

Much appreciative.

I do not see to have a problem. I just pick a random HTTPS URL, https://www2.carolina.com, and PWB v2.09.2 seems to work as expected. What is the URL that you are having problem with?

It may also be if you are using one of the PWB filters and do not have the access message file specified. If you enable the filter and do not specify a message file, PWB will block the URL but not give a message.

If this does not help resolve the problem, please send a copy of your INI file to support@team2s.com.

By the way, team2s.com, is just a shorter address for teamsoftwaresolutions.com.

Scott,

We are not using any inifile filtering. What we are doing is publishing an application via Citrix, using a commandline to execute the pwb to access a particular site. This can be replicated by trying to execute the pwb from a command line {Start--Run}(e.g.), <path>pwb.exe "http://www.google.com". It doesn't work this way, but will work if you remove the http://. We experienced this after using the latest pwb.exe engine (2.0.9.2), but after replacing that version with 2.0.9.0, it worked just fine.

This problem was introduced when we switched to the new MS compiler which fixes the command line DDE processing. The DDE command File Open does not support "http://" in the command line. PWB version 2.09.3, currently available on our beta download page, corrects this problem.

PWB v2.09.3 is close to being released and is currently stable.
