Debugging method for "Force-https-links" & "X_SSL to decrypted" headers (HTTPS offloading)
With the End of Life of CHILI publisher (On Premise) this information is obsolete, and only kept as reference.
CHILI publisher now lives on as GraFx Publisher in the platform of CHILI GraFx
Â
The next steps explain how to check if the "Force-https-links" & "X_SSL to decrypted" headers are well defined from your CDN to the CHILI Server and reaching the CHILI Server.
Checking these headers is possible by enabling advanced logging on IIS and is the only way to be sure:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/iis/extensions/advanced-logging-module/advanced-logging-for-iis-custom-logging#server_logging
If "Advanced Logging" is not available, (which is an optional Microsoft component), you can download it here:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/iis/extensions/advanced-logging-module/advanced-logging-readme
 Follow the next steps to enable the logging
 1. Add logs fields similar to the following screen for X_SSL and Force-https-links.
2. Be sure they are visible in log selection, if not, edit and select them
3. Enable "Advanced logging" on the menu panel on right.
4. Make a request to the server.
5. Browse to the log directory (similar to C:\inetpub\logs\AdvancedLogs ) and open the latest file.
6. Analyse the log file:
The content of the log file should contain lines like the examples below.
The info that you should be looking for in the log files is highlighted in bold.Â
If you are seeing this information, the CDN is sending the headers correctly.
(The example contains a request for an editorURL (what you get returned for the webservice calls "DocumentGetEditorURL" or "DocumentGetHTMLEditorURL"), and is represented as #editorURL#)
