EndPointProxyServlet with POST method

[dhalupa]

Hi,
yesterday I was playing with an idea to embed Jibe based application within Share page and make it shown inside of site, just as document library application is shown.
After arming myself with basic Share and Surf overview using this excellent tutorial this turned out to be easier than expected. Besides some icons and css issues, jibe repository browser seem to be working nicely embedded into the site page. No cheat with iframe was used

However, I faced one issue.. I am not able to invoke web script through proxy using POST method. Looking at the firebug I can see that processing seems to be blocked for about 20sec and after that 302 is returned. Changing the method to GET makes the same request go smoothly.  

Did anybody else has face this issue with EndPointProxyServlet when using POST method?

Small part of log where relevant POST request is processed is shown bellow.

Kind regards,

Denis

I'm getting the same problem, and it appears to have something to do with the endpoint proxy servlet dropping the POST request body when forwarding the request… anyone else able to confirm this?

Have a look at this recently-closed issue: https://issues.alfresco.com/jira/browse/ETHREEOH-2183

Thanks,
