Remote Content - what type of request

Squiz Matrix Support

I'm trying to get a Remote Content asset to display some content from a site within our own domain!
Nothing is displayed.

The page is configured OK (when I change to a different URL, content is displayed); I'm not using any start tags etc.



I need to check with our IT bods if there's any blocking going on.





What type of request is a Remote Content asset making?



thanks

The remote content asset will just be doing a normal HTTP request, although it does it from the server instead of your browser.

Hi Mark,



We have a similar situation.



When we try and use a remote content page to access a url hosted on the same box as matrix it fails because we have

squid configured (again on the same box) to listen on port 80 and apache on another port. The PHP library that makes

the request (http://pear.php.net/package/HTTP_Clien) resolves the domain to localhost (port 80) which fails.



Could be a similar situation to yours?
