HTTP POST Redirect with installers

Hi,

 

I have an installer that does an HTTP POST to a url : http://example.jps

 

Now http://example.jps is redirected to http://www.newdomain.com/

 

When I do the http POST in the installer I get an empty file. I´m using F5 load balancer.

 

What settings should I set to make this work?

 

I´ve tried code 302 and 307. In the explorer, HTTP Post didn´t work till I change the code to 307, but the installer is still not working.

 

Thanx

    A 302 will cause the browser to convert the POST to a GET. A 307 should preserve the POST.

     

    Assuming you can POST directly to the redirected URL without a problem? Are there any path or query string parts of the URI that are needed that you are not preserving in the redirect?

    Yes, since we have 307, I can POST to the redirected URL.

     

    We are redirecting to http://www.newdomain.com/ , maybe we should redirect to http://www.newdomain.com/default , but the installers are not giving errors, only empty pages.

     

    I don´t know if I am missing some redirection setting.
