1 TopicASM Blocking Image Uploads
Hello We have a Rest API using JSON which accepts an image as part of the payload. The image is Base64 Encoded and generally works well however we have had some instances where the Base64 encoding contains a string that the ASM believes is an attack and blocks the payload. I have on a couple of these disabled the signature on the specific JSON profile however I would prefer not to have to do this. I was thinking of asking our Developers to consider a change to the API to accept the image as a file upload rather than Base64 Encoding it into the JSON payload. We control both the Client and Server side of the connection so I do not have to wait for clients to make changes to the API. There is also a self diagnostic Rest Service that takes debug information in and this too also experiences blocks on occasions, again I was thinking this too should be a file upload rather than a post of JSON formatted (the JSON is not always very well formatted due to the data within). Has anyone got any other suggestions that would help resolve this in a more simplistic way. James612Views0likes1Comment
