For a couple of weeks, a server in my customer's remote location were crashing intermittently. We couldn't find any specific reason, but we did fix it. How?

I'd like to summarize this incident, in order to give some tips and tricks for non-experienced domino administrators about what one can do in these situations...

I posted an entry on wednesday: "Need suggestion: Authenticate for HTTP from XPiNC?". It was about showing an HTTP resource inside an XPage on Notes Client with authentication.

Tim Tripcony, blogger at http://xmage.gbs.com commented about the issue. After his great contribution, I found a bug and a workaround.

I am digging into XPage secrets. There is an XPage containing an IFRAME targeting a restricted resource fro the web server. It may be a view/page/form from another database or file resource under domino\html folder. No problem viewing this page from browser because you authenticate into web server and can see the resource.

But what about Notes client? From XPiNC, IFrame element calls for a basic web page and of course, it needs authentication!

Another application area of this problem is with client-sided AJAX routines. When you are authenticated with an XPage on Notes Client, a client side HTTPRequest will not be authenticated for another resource on the same server.

Any suggestions?

UPDATE:

After Tim's suggestions, I have found a solution and implemented. I also found a bug and solved :)

"Web Service" is not a new feature for Lotus Domino. But as chatting with Lotus pro's around, I think more and more applications may be developed using web services...
