Netlet - unable to connect to gateway
Issue with Netlet.
Trying to define the following rule so non-browser application can do
http requests over secure tunnel:
WebTest|null|false|30011|<host>|80
(where <host> is the relevant webserver)
Getting the following error:
Unable to connect to Gateway: default:443
Any assistance greatly appreciated.

It seems that this problem is stemming from the variable "WT.gateway"
(stored in the com.iplanet.portalserver.session.Session object) being set
to "default". This causes the applet parameters of the Netlet to be
incorrect. The "remoteHost_x" parameter is being taken literally and the
Netlet is trying to connect to default:443.
In my example, the applet tag looks as follows:
<html>
<head>
<HEAD><TITLE>Netlet</TITLE></HEAD>
<script language=javascript>
var needToSleep = true;
</script>
</head>
