Hello Tomcat-Users, I'm facing a strange issue when using HttpComponents with successive POST requests against a simple Tomcat 7 servlet (Form-based POST Authentication is enabled). After a sucessfull authentication, the client requests the same protected resource a few times in a row, but the second request always returns a "501 Method not implemented" status. All other requests succeed.
The following communication takes place: 1. Client requests a protected resource; Tomcat returns the login page (HTTP200) 2. Client provides the user credentials and calls the login resource; Tomcat returns a redirect (HTTP302) 3. Client sets the location from the redirect for the next request(identical to URI from #1) and requests it; Tomcat returns the page (HTTP200) 4. Client requests the same resource again; Tomcat returns a HTTP501 - Method not implemented 5. Client requests the same resource again; Tomcat returns the page (HTTP200) 6. Client requests the same resource again; Tomcat returns the page (HTTP200) 7. Client requests the same resource again; Tomcat returns the page (HTTP200) The access log message regarding the 501 says: '"testName=testValuePOST /test/secure/ HTTP/1.1" 501 1278', which may indicate that the entity data and the HTTP-method name somehow got mixed up!? Strangely the HTTP501 does not appear in case of a JSP for the requested resource, only if facing a form-based POST authentication Servlet in Tomcat 7. The servlet does only implement post and get(which calls the doPost) and returns just a string. The client code should be fine since I already posted this issue on the HTTPComponents mailing list and the data sent over the wire seems to be right. I'd like to attach the zipped webapp dir along with the simple client souce code, but along with the HTTPComponents libraries it's ~450KB and I don't know the attachment policy of this list. How can I provide further helpfull information? Thanks for helping in advance best regards Hans --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
