Open URL in window from server side
Hi,
We have a requirement where we need to open a URL in a window to show an image but the challenge here is the system we are hitting with the URL expects the IP address from which the request is generated to be white listed. Right now when we use 'open URL in new window' it is treated a client side request and the client's IP is sent, which can not be white listed as there will be hundreds of clients.
We are open to download the image at server side and show it in the browser. But we need to hit the URL from server side. Has anyone done similar to this? Please share any thoughts you have.
Thanks,

Hello
So basically, you are trying to access a URL which has some security measures in place ( checking IP is whitelisted or not ) and you are looking for a way to break the security net to access the URL.
I guess the purpose of having this check is to enforce more security and it will be unethical to figure out a way to break it.
If this is a business need then the best approach would be to work with the team who owns the URL and request to allow the users from your end to access their URL.

Did you find a solution for this?
I am also trying to open a URL from server-side (e.g. activity in preprocessing of a case). But I didn't find a solution so far. As it is related to my post, linking it here: https://collaborate.pega.com/question/open-url-automatically-window-when-opening-assignment
