[Solved] issue with multidrills and our new VPN

With our new high-security VPN f5, our multidrills no longer work.
Here's what WF puts into your report's htm:
<script language='javascript'> 
var ibiOptions = new Array("multidrill");
var focexurl = "/ibi_apps/WFServlet?IBIF_webapp=/ibi_apps&IBIC_server=EDASERVE&IBIWF_msgviewer=OFF&IBIAPP_app=appname&&IBIMR_drill=X,domain/domain.htm&";
var fochtmlurl = "/ibi_html";
var serverLanguage='en';
</script>

See how there is no full URL , only the relative?
If i try specifying in my fex
SET FOCEXURL='http:/servername.nyumc.orgRazzerortnumber'.... (etc various appends tried,), then what happens is:
<script language='javascript'> 
var ibiOptions = new Array("multidrill");
var focexurl = "http:/servername.nyumc.org:portnumber";
var fochtmlurl = "/ibi_html";
var serverLanguage='en';
</script>

and that's ALL. the whole thing gets replaced by the generic.
i need some way to just glue on the http://server bit to the front of the var focexurl that the Multi Drill creates.

Any brilliant ideas?

In the past I've done this by creating a HTMTABLE file instead of a HTML file, and then hardcoded the WF multi-drilldown JavaScript requirements - still works in v7.7.05:

-SET &ECHO=ALL;

TABLE FILE CAR
SUM 
SALES
BY COUNTRY 
BY MODEL

ON TABLE HOLD AS HOLD1 FORMAT HTMTABLE

ON TABLE SET PAGE NOLEAD

ON TABLE SET STYLESHEET *

TYPE=REPORT, GRID=OFF, FONT='VERDANA', SIZE=8, $

TYPE=DATA, COLUMN=COUNTRY,
DRILLMENUITEM='DRILLDOWN 1',
  FOCEXEC=app/fm_car1.fex (COUNTRY=COUNTRY), TARGET=win_car,
DRILLMENUITEM='DRILLDOWN 2',
  FOCEXEC=app/fm_car2.fex (COUNTRY=COUNTRY), TARGET=win_car,
$
ENDSTYLE
END
-RUN

-HTMLFORM BEGIN
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<script language='javascript'>
var ibiOptions = new Array("multidrill");
var focexurl = "http://dviappvmwebf10:8080/ibi_apps/WFServlet?IBIF_webapp=/ibi_apps|&|IBIC_server=EDASERVE|&|";
var fochtmlurl = "/ibi_html";
</script>

<script language='javascript' src='/ibi_html/javaassist/nls.js'></script>
<script language='javascript' src='/ibi_html/javaassist/ibi/html/js/ibigbl.js'></script>
<script language='javascript'>
ibigblloadCss(null);
</script>

</HEAD>
<!-- BEGIN -->
!IBI.FIL.HOLD1;
<!-- END --></HTML>
-HTMLFORM END
