  • 1.  How to build and post a form

    Posted Mar 05, 2019 05:32 PM

    Hello

     

    Can I have some guidance on how to build a form like the below and post it using route via https assertion?

     

    <form>
    <input name="name1 value="value1" />
    <input name="name2" value="value2" />
    </form>

     

     

    Thanks

    Hi Patrick,

     

    You can create a variable of type message with the HTTP form parameters like this:

     

     

    Then in the route assertion select this variable as the request source:

     

     

    Regards,

    Thanks Joe, works perfectly fine... Do have a residual issue though... one of the parameters is actually a base64 encoded saml response and for some reason seems like the route via https assertion is replacing all "+" in the bases64 string with space, causing decoding on the other side to fail. Any idea how to fix that?

    Hi Patrick,

     

    You should URL encode the SAML before posting it.

    Base64 uses some characters that can alter the meaning of the input
