Description

When Domino renders Notes documents to the web, it produces by default a rich HTML output including Notes-specific constructs (action bars, framesets, JavaScript wrappers). With HTTPSimpleHTML=1, the HTTP task reduces the result to simpler, more semantic HTML – without many Notes add-ons. Helpful for search engine crawlers, accessibility tools, or caches that handle “classic” web structures better.

Example configuration

HTTPSimpleHTML=1

Notes & pitfalls

  • Classic Domino web applications that rely on Notes actions, action bars, or inline JavaScript may look different afterwards.
  • Before enabling, test against Verse/iNotes or critical web apps.
  • Takes effect after an HTTP restart (tell http restart).
  • Pairs well with HTTPProcessRedirects and matching Site / Internet Site profiles.
