Hello everyone,

I am trying to include within a procedure a HTML Form that has an iframe element. The source of the iframe is a fex.

When I run the report, I receive the following message:
http status 404 - The request is not available.

The reason is that an "%22" is added infront of the URL once the procedure is executed. However, the URL works fine when the fex is executed in a browser. The report is without any problems available.

This is the code:

-HTMLFORM BEGIN
< !DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4 /strict.dtd">
...
...
...
...
<iframe src="http://127.0.0.1:8080/ibi_apps/run.bip?BIP_REQUEST_TYPE=BIP_RUN&BIP_folder=IBFS:/WFC/Repository/Test&BIP_item=gadget_sparkline_responsive_wf_graph.fex">
...
...
-HTMLFORM END


Once executed, the "src" code becomes:
/%22http://127.0.0.1:8080/ibi_apps/run.bip?BIP_REQUEST_TYPE=BIP_RUN&BIP_folder=IBFS:/WFC/Repository/Test&BIP_item=gadget_sparkline_responsive_wf_graph.fex


Has anybody had this issue before?

Thanks for your help!

Is it your localhost?
I would try it with source of 
  
"/ibi_apps/run.bip?BIP_REQUEST_TYPE=BIP_RUN&BIP_folder=IBFS:/WFC/Repository/Test&BIP_item=gadget_sparkline_responsive_wf_graph.fex"

and see if it helps!

%22 is a double quote (").

Looks like the src is sending the quotes as well.

Is the htmlform static or generated ?

@vaayu Unfortunately the issue still occurs...

@waz The HTML form is static and manually written by us.

You shouldn't need the https://127.0.0.1:8080 if the request is going to the same server the page was served from.

Not sure what else to suggest. Which browser, have you tried others ?

When you removed the quote, did the URL it is directing to change, or does it continue to have the "/%22" in front of it? Knowing what it is sending will help to figure out what is going wrong.

I'll be the first one to say i missplace quotes all the time when typing strings out. Is it possible you wrote it with the quote in the string by accident?

If you can use JavaScript you could try building the URL in a variable that way and then have the JS set the SRC of your URL. I'm fairly new to WF, and have only dealt with HTML/JS via the composer, but I know from previous experience leveraging JS can sometimes clear issues as such with HTML.

To set the source in JS you'd do the following (most likely in your page load function):
var myURL = "http://wheretogo.com";
document.getElementById("myFrame").src = myURL;

Your iFrame would look like this:
<iframe src="#" id="myFrame">

Again, not sure if you can use JS but it was just a thought I had when reading your post.
