Troubleshooting
Problem
The client sends HTTP DELETE requests to a backend server vie ISAM WebSEAL. This HTTP DELETE requests contain a json body. When ISAM WebSEAL receives an HTTP DELETE with a body, it automatically refuses the request with a HTTP 400 BAD REQUEST response. The exact same HTTP DELETE request without a body is allowed through by ISAM WebSEAL.
Cause
By default WebSEAL will return a HTTP 400 Bad Requesr error if a DELETE request contains a body. The configuration option "http-delete-allow-body" provides an alternative to this default behavior.
If the option is enabled:
[content]
http-delete-allow-body = yes
WebSEAL will allow a body with the DELETE method. However, it will be ignored.
This option is not required and by default WebSEAL will continue to return a HTTP 400 Bad Error error.
Resolving The Problem
Modify the ISAM WebSEAL configuration and set:
[content]
http-delete-allow-body = yes
WebSEAL will allow a body with the DELETE method.
