title: Weblogic 12.1.2. "https + t3" combination on a single managed server. Is it possible?
body: <p>WLS 12.1.2 is running under JDK 1.7_60 on Windows 7</p>
  
  <p>To meet the requirement "Switch to HTTPS, but leave t3" the following steps are performed in admin console for managed server (where the apps reside)</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Disable default listen port 7280 (http and t3) </li>
  <li>Enable default SSL listen port 7282 (https and t3s)  </li>
  <li>In order to enable t3, create a custom Channel<br>
  <ul>
  <li>Protocol: t3  </li>
  <li>Port: 7280  </li>
  <li>“HTTP Enabled for This Protocol“ flag is set to false</li>
  </ul></li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>After that, we have https and t3s on port 7282 and t3 only on port 7280.</p>
  
  <p>In this case, we have issues with deployment of applications.
  The deployer fails to start/stop the apps.
  The reason is the deployer still tries to send messages to managed server via http.
  I turned on the deployment debugging and see the following messages in admin server log.</p>
  
  <pre><code>…&lt;DeploymentServiceTransportHttp&gt; …&lt;HTTPMessageSender: IOException: java.io.EOFException: Response had end of stream after 0 bytes when making a DeploymentServiceMsg request to URL: http://localhost:7280/bea_wls_deployment_internal/DeploymentService&gt;
  
  
  … &lt;DeploymentServiceTransportHttp&gt; …&lt;sending message for id '-1' to 'my_srv' using URL 'http://localhost:7280' via http&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>If I disable the custom t3 Channel, everything is ok. The deployer sends messages to <a href="https://localhost:7282" rel="nofollow">https://localhost:7282</a>, as expected. But in this case, we have no t3 available.</p>
  
  <p>Any help is much appreciated.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
