Now that we made the move to universal with the sf a lot of new problems are introduced. Proxy, reverse proxy, firewall, request length, etc. They can all cause errors. Debugging these problems can take a long time since it’s not always clear where the problem lies.
My idea is to incorporate a button in the universal gui to test some frequently occurring and known issues.
It fires multiple small requests that handle 1 specific problem.
For example:
-send a request with a long segment url to test maxurlsegmenth length.
-send a request to test the use of backslashes against the rewrite URL.
-send a request to test the timeout length
-send a request to test the firewall settings for the licensing server
So basically this will act like validations, but for your web connection/network setup.

Alternatively: we could have Infrastructure Services document such a list of checks.
We’re not going to embed this in the Thinkwise Platform by default.
That’s a long term solution but I understand your reasoning. For a short term solution I will look into creating a powershell script for debugging purposes. Thank you for your feedback.
