Hello,

 

 

If you issue a 302 redirect to the client, the client won't send an identical POST request to the new location. They will send a GET request without the POST data from the original request. So ideally, you'd want to just rewrite the URI and send the request to the web server. Unfortunately in 4.x, you cannot rewrite the URI--you can only issue a redirect.

 

 

If it's possible to update the application, I'd try that.
