Hi Jean-Philippe,
I've just looked at the TunnelFilter code and couldn't see why it wouldn't
work. See this excerpt from the
org.restlet.engine.application.TunnelFilter#processQuery method:
if (resourceRef.hasQuery()) {
final Form query = resourceRef.getQueryAsForm(null);
// Tunnel the request method
final Method method = request.getMethod();
if (tunnelService.isMethodTunnel()) {
final String methodName =
query.getFirstValue(tunnelService.getMethodParameter());
Method tunnelledMethod = Method.valueOf(methodName);
// The OPTIONS method can be tunnelled via GET requests.
if (tunnelledMethod != null && (Method.POST.equals(method) ||
Method.OPTIONS.equals(tunnelledMethod))) {
request.setMethod(tunnelledMethod);
query.removeFirst(tunnelService.getMethodParameter());
queryModified = true;
}
}
If you are using Restlet 1.1, the package is "com.noelios.restlet.application"
instead.
So, I would suggest that you put a break point in this method and try to
understand when it is called and why it wouldn't work. Are you sure you never
change the method somewhere else?
Final suggestion: try to isolate the issue in a small reproducible sample code
and send it to us.
Best regards,
Jerome Louvel

Objet : Re: Overriding HTTP headers
So I removed the code that initialized a new instance of the TunnelService as
apparently it was enabled by default already. I have successfully tested the
request POST http://host/app/resource/15?method=UPDATE. However performing a
DELETE operation the same way results in a GET. The tomcat logs do not give any
stack traces or other output that would indicate something is wrong. I also
have logger messages set to display when the removeRepresentation method is
called but am seeing nothing in the logs. Lastly, I can confirm DELETE
http://host/app/resource/15 works using a restlet java client for testing.
This seems quite strange.

Hello,
This should really work... The tunnel service is enabled by default, so the
first line shouldn't even be necessary. What is displayed in the logs? If the
tunnel service works as expected, you should see DELETE as the invoked method.
Otherwise, I would suggest to send us a small reproducible sample or to debug
the TunnelFilter code if you are willing to dig into Restlet code :)

Objet : Re: Overriding HTTP headers
Ok. I've added the following to my Application's constructor.
getTunnelService().setEnabled(true);
But when I try and perform the following:
POST http://host/resource/1?method=DELETE
All it does is retrieve the resource.
Am I missing something?

Just scanning your mail diagonally I think you need to add the method
parameter to your query string (in combination with POST requests):
http://host/path?method=PUT
http://host/path?method=DELETE
(You should have the tunnel service enabled)
HTH,
