A new version of the APL+WebServices (version 1.0.2140.34581) has been posted that take care of this issues.

Thank you for pointing them out.

Will this be included in the Desktop v1.5 beta also?

Next question - if I add a custom header for Server:, will it over write the default which points is: APL2000 Web Services/1.0

And about the Content-Type: of image/jpg, if is image/jpeg, the picture can be viewed in the browser instead of opening an external application. WebServices is not allowing the viewing of JPG files I think because the type is not image/jpeg.

These changes will be available in the Desktop v1.5 beta.

The Content-Type was also changed from image/jpg to image/jpeg. The APL+WebServices allows you to overwrite the Content-Type in two ways:

Setting the content-type result option

Using the "Registered File Types" option of the web server. You can find this option under the "Documents" tab.

Right now, if you defined a custom header "SERVER", the AWS will send both the default SERVER (APL2000 Web Services/1.0) and your custom header.

OK - Custom headers are now showing. What happened??   I'm a bit confused by when changes to a WebServer are applied. Are they applied immediately, or do they require a restart? There is no indication that a restart is needed, but sometimes it appears a restart is required. However, I did not restart this time, and now the headers are present, just not right after I made the changes. No wait - only one of my custom headers are is showing. Something is not quite right. I have two defined in the AWS GUI, but only one shows in the header. Stop and Start the server, and now the second is showing. So it appears a restart is required. This may be documented and I have just missed it?
