Error description
IBM WebSphere DataPower Appliance Firmware 3.8.0.3 When a GET request is converted to a POST and there is data to be posted to the backend, the POST request is made alright but the body (data) is missing. This behavior is seen when using an XML Firewall with a static backend. Steps to recreate 1. Create an XML Firewall with a static backend, add new Firewall Policy to the XML Firewall. 2. Add new rule to the Firewall Policy: * Rule Direction: Client to Server * Rules: + Match action with match-all rule(*). + Method Rewrite action with POST. + Transform action with following stylesheet: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:dp="http://www.datapower.com/extensions" xmlns:dpconfig="http://www.datapower.com/param/config" extension-element-prefixes="dp" exclude-result-prefixes="dp dpconfig"> <xsl:output method="xml" encoding="UTF-8" dp:escaping="minimum" /> <xsl:template match="/"> key1=<xsl:value-of select="'TEST_DATA'"/> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> 3.
