Hello, I have local web server publication on 80 port with redirection to https protocol for local and external clients. And TMG refuses to serve real "/wpad.dat" to clients — instead it serves blank html.
Now I created web publish rule with same Web Listener on 80 port on Internal network that redirects any request with path "/wpad.da*", but while this rule works for "/wpad.dad" and "/wpad.dat?" it doesn't work for "/wpad.dat"!Why?
I also created simply rule to block access to local "/wpad.dat" url, but it doesn't work either while web listener on next rule is active — TMG still returns blank html.
And when new rules are disabled request to published server for "/wpad.dat" on http protocol returns blank html while it should redirect to https and forward request to real server according to rule configuration. However, request on https is forwarded to published server.
My configuration requires local web server publication and distribution of wpad.dat file on 80 port, only workaround that i see is to make new server that will redirect requests to wpad.dat file to alternate url.
Thank you for advice on my problem.
