HTTP Request seems to always be GET

to Lucee

I'm building a new API server using Lucee, and I just noticed that all of my requests are coming in as GET.  I'm using Postman for testing, and when I do a POST the result via both CGI.request_method and getHttpRequestData().method are both displaying GET.

I'm running Apache2 on Ubuntu.

Anyone else run into this?

One cause that springs to mind that would produce this behaviour is some kind of redirect (rather than rewrite) rules going on. If there are URL redirects going on somewhere in the stack, the redirected URL will always be a GET. e.g. if you had a redirect rule in apache to change URLs not ending in a slash to ending in a slash, you'd get this:

POST /some/url -> Apache response: redirect to /some/url/
GET /some/url/ -> Lucee receives this when expecting POST

Check the network tab in your browser, you'll be able to see this behaviour if that is the case.

(I've not seen this behaviour in any other scenario personally).

That makes sense, and I am doing a redirect in apache pointing everything to index.cfm.

So should I be doing a rewrite?  Or is there a way to capture the original method?

You should almost certainly be doing a rewrite in this scenario, yes.

You will always lose form POST params with redirects :)
