Proxy Endpoint HTTP allow method properties not working

[skammili]

I have following proxy endpoint properties set

<HTTPProxyConnection>

<BasePath>/v1/data</BasePath>

<Properties>

<Property name="allow.http.method.GET">true</Property>

<Property name="allow.http.method.POST">false</Property>

<Property name="allow.http.method.PUT">false</Property>

<Property name="allow.http.method.DELETE">false</Property>

<Property name="allow.http.method.HEAD">false</Property>

<Property name="allow.http.method.OPTIONS">false</Property>

<Property name="allow.http.method.TRACE">false</Property>

<Property name="allow.http.method.PATCH">false</Property>

</Properties>

<VirtualHost>default</VirtualHost>

</HTTPProxyConnection>

But no luck, its allowing all methods. I see in trace session that these properties are there, so it is deployed.

Thanks, Sanjay

I've not had the time to verify the behaviour of setting those properties, but there may be an alternative solution for what you're trying to achieve...

What about raising a fault based on the request method? You could do this as the first step.

<PreFlow name="PreFlow">
        <Request>
            <Step>
                <Condition>request.verb != "GET"</Condition>
                <Name>fault-method-not-allowed</Name>
            </Step>
	...

Where "method-not-allowed-fault" is a RaiseFault policy that could look like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<RaiseFault enabled="true" continueOnError="false" async="false" name="fault-method-not-allowed">
	<DisplayName>fault-method-not-allowed</DisplayName>
	<FaultResponse>
		<Set>
			<StatusCode>405</StatusCode>
			<Headers>
				<Header name="Allow">GET</Header>
			</Headers>
		</Set>
	</FaultResponse>    
	<IgnoreUnresolvedVariables>true</IgnoreUnresolvedVariables>
</RaiseFault>
