Anyplace there is an 'x' it is for obfuscation.
These are trapped at the Private Sub _WebView_BeforeNavigate(sender As Object, e As BeforeNavigateEventArgs) Handles _WebView.BeforeNavigate

Starting URL
e.NewUrl =
https://cu.savaxxxx.xxx/xxxxxx?data=j-tU-VCCTuX8eRmwyRPtQ2qUF1c0L7aCU1SnnXGXfAo5jRrn-oOK8_KOj9-nufCw-4Yo6agfL6BM6TznPtfGLxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxW55IdCesAg_ZIKsKpOm7RUjJWOV_oPrRAHs4ITXF13buS8kCWOm-jIBrvNP-bN9HmJeXOlR3yjItgM&verify=idZKLDQQxxxxxH53mNCnwFZuYlNhTO3Etofo9UDuy8ay5wj8x1YE29CA

---

Which causes a redirect to
e.NewUrl =
http://cu.savaxxxx.xxx/ui/portal/75xxxxbcfa-cede-4xxx9-9exxxxxxxxe

---

Which then redirects to
e.NewUrl =
https://_/ui/portal/75xxxxbcfa-cede-4xxx9-9exxxxxxxxe

****************************************************************************
The underscore as part of the URL is the actual value and is not obfuscated.
What is strange, F12 and looking at the redirects on Firefox and Edge produce the same redirects. But when using Chrome, it actually uses the correct URL domain 'cu.savaxxxx.xxx' and not the '_'
I am currently 2023_1_77_0 in the field and just downloaded 2023_3_84_0. They both behaved the same.

Hi,

We have looked into the Url. The root of the issue is the incorrect redirect Url that your server generated for the following request:


Your server would redirect this Url to:



Obviously this is wrong. Because this redirect is generated by your server, the issue would have to be fixed on your server.

The reason why you do not see this problem in Chrome because Chrome automatically uses HTTPS for certain HTTP request. So when Chrome receives the following HTTP request:



It automatically replaces it with the HTTPS version:



This is the right Url thus it loads correctly. In another word, Chrome never attempted to load the HTTP version as told by your server thus never triggered the incorrect HTTP -> HTTPs redirection your server is attempting to perform.

The same automatic HTTP -> HTTPs replacement does not occur in other browsers, even EO.WebBrowser, so those browsers faithfully follow the incorrect redirection your server issued and end up not able to load the page.

Hope this helps. Please feel free to let us know if you still have any questions.

Thanks!

Hi,

You can modify the request Url in BeforeRequestLoad event.

Thanks!
