ASM Unstructured Data in the POST section of the header

Hi Forum,

 

I am getting illegal parameter characters as I have unstructured data being posted to the server. The data is not JSON, XML or form, it is just plain text. For example I might see in the POST data section a URL of just some free text.

 

One example is I see illegal parameter character of "/" as I have for {domainname}/folder/folder but it is not structures, it is just a simple string

 

How can I access the value to disable meta characters so for example when a URL is posted I dont get illegal "/"

 

I tryed unnamed parameter, but it did not work

 

Any help would be great G

    Hi Graham, it is difficult to figure out what is going on without seeing the POST request itself - if you could post it here redacting any sensitive data it will make more sense - don't forget to include the headers!
