Proxy errors
If a bad request such as http://host1.domain.com/proxy/proxy.ashx?https://host2.domain.com/arcgis/tokens/&wab_dv=2.6 is returned while accessing services through the proxy, edit the deployed application's env.js file.

function appendDeployVersion(url){ // if(/^http(s)?:\/\//.test(url) || /^\/proxy\.js/.test(url) || /^\/\//.test(url)){ // return url; // } // if(url.indexOf('?') > -1){ // url = url + '&wab_dv=' + deployVersion; // }else{ // url = url + '?wab_dv=' + deployVersion; // } return url; }
