Enabling the use of pronunciation files in an HTTPS environment

Ensure that Profiles users can save and play pronunciation files in an HTTPS environment by defining a rule in the IBM® HTTP server’s configuration file.

This task needs to be performed in an HTTPS environment only.

Profiles users can add a recording of how their name is pronounced to enhance their profile. To ensure that users can save a pronunciation file to their own profile and listen to the recordings of other users, you must define a rule in the IBM HTTP Server's configuration file to explicitly set the caching headers of pronunciation files.

  1. Define a rule in the IBM HTTP Server by completing the following steps:

  2. Using a text editor, open the IBM HTTP Server configuration file, httpd.conf file. The file is stored in the following directory by default:

    • Linux™: /opt/IBM/HTTPServer/conf
    • Microsoft™ Windows™: C:\IBM\HTTPServer\conf
    • Add the following block of code to the httpd.conf file:
    <LocationMatch /*/profiles/audio.do>
   Header set Pragma ""
   Header set Cache-Control "private, max-age=0, must-revalidate"
</LocationMatch>

  3. Save and close the configuration file.

  4. Restart the IBM HTTP Server.
