Sure, the first web browsers like NCSA Mosaic were already running on Unix some 15 years ago.

Also from Windows I need to give https://servername/myapp which definitley is not working. So I wanted to check in Unix to see if https://localhost/myapp will work on the server where application is deployed. This would help me to understand if this is a server problem or is it a network issue.
On the Solaris machine, try "telnet localhost 443" or better "telnet servername 443". If you got "Connection refused", the server might have some trouble.

Alternative commands that might help:
Code:
ifconfig -a
ping servername
netstat -an | grep 443

       Manager function on the CDE front panel Applications menu.

USAGE

       At  startup time, answerbook2_admin starts up the default web browser (for example, Mozilla) and displays the URL specified for administer-
       ing the local AnswerBook2 server (http://localhost:8888). If the user has set up administration access control, the web browser prompts for
       a valid administrator login and password for this document server before displaying the administration tool.

FILES
