Can you help us complete this list of URLs used by FME?

Some of our users work in environments with limited access to the internet and need to request access to specific URLs via a proxy . We are building a list of URLs used by FME and we are asking you for more input. Below are URLs we know FME may access in typical use. Are there other URLs you think we should add to the list? We will edit this list as answers come in.

Of course, there is a multitude of web services you can connect to with FME using Web Connections and the HttpCaller transformer, and we don't want to add them all here. We are looking for URLs used by FME Workbench, standard FME readers and writers, and FME transformers.

Please note: You can, of course, run FME without any internet access at all but you won't be able to use the FME Hub or access resources on the web.

This is a great idea and crowd sourcing the details jump-starts the documentation process. I can think of serveral of our customers who will be keen followers of this list for software packaging purposes:

There is one more for ArcGIS Online, which allows access to the basemaps through ArcGIS Server:

Hi guys,

Could someone please advise which port the background maps, or ArcGIS Online feature service lists (when using the AGOL feature layer reader) would come back to our proxy server/firewall on? I am being asked this when requesting to IT for the FME background URLs to be allowed through our firewall.

Thanks, Chris

Hi @danilo_fme,

 

The first one worked and the other two errored out:

  • server.arcgisonline.com:443 got no response from server
Reason:No response from server

 

 

WebMarshal Proxy was unable to reach the requested host.

 

 

Details: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host.

 

 

This can be caused by:

 

The web server may be down

 

The web server may be too busy

 

Problems with your network connection and/or transient conditions on the Internet

 

 

 

Error: Invalid URL

 

Code: 400

 

 


Hi @chrisw84

 

I think in order for work with proxies, I would highly recommend asking IT for a wildcard url exception list as follows

*.arcgisonline.com

www.arcgis.com

The reason the other URL is giving Invalid URL as you have to remove the port from the URL, in real the URL should be http://services.arcgisonline.com/arcgis/rest/services/

But again, passing it as wildcard would take care of that.
