SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR SUPPORTING UNAUTHENTICATED POST REQUESTS THROUGH A REVERSE PROXY ENABLED FOR AUTHENTICATION

Abstract:

Systems and methods for supporting unauthenticated POST requests include a device arranged intermediary to a client and a server which receives an unauthenticated HTTP POST request from the client for the server. The unauthenticated HTTP POST request may include a body. The device may generate one more data objects for the body of the unauthenticated HTTP POST request. The device may transmit a request to cause an authentication of a user to the client. The request may include the data object(s) to be stored on the client. The device may receive an HTTP GET request including the data object(s) from the client responsive to authenticating the user. The device may generate an authenticated HTTP POST request corresponding to the unauthenticated HTTP POST request using the one or more data objects included in the HTTP GET request. The device may transmit the authenticated HTTP POST request to the server.
