----------------------------------
Summary: Form fields overwrite headers in InMessage
Key: CAMEL-8625
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CAMEL-8625
Project: Camel
Issue Type: Bug
Components: camel-restlet
Affects Versions: 2.15.1, 2.14.2, 2.13.4
Environment: Linux
Reporter: Tomasz Ptak
DefaultRestletBinding adds values from submitted form as headers in the
inMessage of the exchange. As a result it is close to impossible to rely on any
of the values provided.
Suggested solution:
a) form values should be stored separately, or
b) populating headers from the form should fail if a header with this key
already exists
Solution a is a safer solution which will break compatibility with previous
versions of Apache Camel (it can also be spread over a number of releases,
first introducing new field for form values and logging a warning if form data
is being extracted, next making it configurable and disabled by default, then
removing this functionality).
Solution b is backwards compatible if this behaviour is not used as a feature
(if it is, it should not). That said someone could still use it to populate
RestletRequest-like headers in the Message.
I can provide a patch if any solution is accepted.
