>>> Not sure how I can solve this IE issue via SA.....
I don't disagree.  I have now tried on a desktop with firefox and it operates 
as I would expect.  Unfortunately we can't really use Firefox - don't have it 
installed on my desktop ( most desktops here) 'cause our PACS needs IE and with 
FireFox installed IE can no longer run PACS - no doubt another IE quirk.

My first statement was:
>>> I don't think it is anything with SAWeb per se, because I can fire off a

>>> switch an item to and from maintenance - just about has to be some 'save me 
>>> from myself' feature of IE.

>>>So somehow IE is something weird in the caching
That probably explains why it would work when I used FQDN instead of hostname - 
just cached a different url.


Just some background as to what I was trying to accomplish.  This set of 
devices, and the template generated web page will be monitoring number of 
devices on a drug dispensing system. I wanted the functionality for the 
pharmacy to be able to set a device to maintenance if they were going to take 
it off line.  I had all the parts in place - it was a little clunky because it 
kicked open the SAWeb page rather than just do the action but at least they 
could have had ability to turn off and on as needed.

Can you think of any other way to skin that cat:  Allow users to control 
Active/Maintenance via the template.

Bottom line - I will live with it.  I appreciate you digging into the problem.

Thank you.

Subject: RE: [SA-list] SAWeb behavior

As you can see what is received (and send?) by Servers Alive is
00000179238.56903076[4340] saWeb : /saweb
-> no parameters at all

00000217301.86190796[4340] saWeb :
/saweb?uid=3018&active=false
00000218301.86218262[4340] saWeb : active=false (3018)

-> parameter is received and the change is done



I just did some testing on my system and I'm unable to reproduce the problem 
when using Firefox.  However when using IE I do get the issue.  Which is 
strange as in both cases the same "page" is generated, with the same links.
I tried it via a remote system (using IE) and when I look at a network trace, I 
can see that IE is NOT sending the correct URL.  The URL that IE "sends" to the 
SA system is just 
http://cp.mcafee.com/d/avndygAd3gQrhopsp76zBNNUTsSehKCed7b29IsztcsqenAPoV6WoUQsI9CNOdQNNEVu76RLDYuCT67N1jJoP9SVsSXmcOtKndEEWUwqenT-LOdTD3hOeuWZOWqtPhPOqqr8WZ-mKDp55mXzDaxVZicHs3jq9JwTvAm4TDNOb2pEVdTdw0UqHWj3adYFE0zq4EBgkoHl2AWM_EdCT4m4Pob6Azh0qmNwgbDOFcQKCy0o405Ywq827AZcOH4SCYrQwxbYKfI
 without any parameter.  So it's "normal" that SA isn't doing anything else 
then showing saWeb when receiving that URL.
It's seems to be some type of issue in IE.
(I tried it with both the "default" IE that is installed on Win2008R2 and on 
Win7).

What I can reproduce is that I connect to saWeb and change the status twice 
(from active to maintenance and from maintenance to active), and then it will 
always just call "saweb" without any parameters.  If I go into the Internet 
Options and clear the "Temporary Internet file and website files", and then try 
again (even without restarting IE) it works again for 2 calls.
So somehow IE is something weird in the caching.
Even when adding headers to say that the webbrowser should NOT cache the 
content, IE is doing it somehow.
Not sure how I can solve this IE issue via SA.....
