HTTP Post requests

Hi,
Can anybody tell if Apache 2.x allows HTTP POST requests by default?

I am using Apache and the Mod_JK plugin to forward requests to a configured
tomcat server. It fowards GETS requests okay but does forwrad the POST
requests.

I check the mod_jk logs and I can see it trying to forward the POST messages
header to tomcat, but not the message body.

any ideas welcomed.

RE: HTTP Post requests

Yes, mod_jk will also forward POST requests. You won't see the body on the =
mod_jk logs.

RE: HTTP Post requests

Thanks Jordiang.
That's very interesting.
I wonder why I won't see the body in the mod_jk logs?
Any ideas...

RE: HTTP Post requests

Because the purpose of the log is to have a nicely formatted file (timestam=
p, url, http method, etc).
The POST body could be anything. It may not even be text. Therefore the mod=
_jk is not going to log it.
(You may ask to the mod_jk developers if there is any option to actually lo=
g the POST body, but I doubt it)
