Andrew, I don't think we've evaluated this solution enough to determine whether it should be in CVS or not.
The solution in the patch exposes a different login endpoint for authentication, which I'm not convinced is the best solution. It appears there are three ways to handle this scenario: 1. Expose a different URL endpoint with a different flow for handling the POST scenario 2. Expose a request parameter such as returnMethod (defaults to GET) which would cause the web flow to choose either a normal redirect or a JavaScript POST. 3. Add post capabilities on the client applicaion side (either as part of the CAS client or inform people to handle it locally in their application) [there may be other scenarios, these are just the ones I thought of off the top of my head] Each scenario has its strengths and weaknesses. Until we've evaluated the best method for handling this I'd rather not commit anything into CVS at this point. Anything committed to CVS would need to be supported in the future, regardless of whether we found a better solution or not. -Scott Andrew Petro wrote: > Jeff, > > I appreciate your positive attitude, but I think it would be best if we got > this patch into CAS source control and kept it up to date and as > no-heroics-required as possible. > > In that vein, where would be appropriate for this to go into CVS, Scott? > Should CAS ship this example?
