Redirect from http to https breaks RESTful API: "Document is empty"

Description

We have found that the change to redirect http to https on our aleph2 server has affected the RESTful API running on port 1891.  We are getting errors such as: 

   error on line 1 at column 1: Document is empty 
  
what service runs on port 1891?  And how do we solve this problem? 
 

Resolution

jboss (Tomcat, in v22-up) runs on the 189n port. 

The $alephe_root/jboss_conf/main.properties was copied from the aleph1 server and had this line:

 xservice.server.name=aleph1.library.xxx.edu 

Changing it to 

 xservice.server.name=aleph2.library.xxx.edu 

and restarting the Web Services server (util w/3/7/9) and apache corrected the problem.
