It might be the side effect of redirecting.

Its a wild guess but if you are sending POST to http://localhost:8080 
<http://localhost:8080/fineract-provider>/fineract-provider 
<http://localhost:8080/fineract-provider>.. you will get an http 302 to 
redirect your request to https://localhost:8443 
<https://localhost:8443/fineract-provider>/fineract-provider 
<https://localhost:8443/fineract-provider> and it became GET for some reason...

Try to hit the https://localhost:8443 <https://localhost:8443/> directly.
