Using Postman to test POST on a servlet - getting 403 error

I am trying to test my doPost method on my localhost.

I have removed POST method from the Apache Sling Referrer Filter.

I have checked that

check that the POST method is NOT in the filter methods of the CSRF filter config

http://localhost:4502/system/console/configMgr/com.adobe.granite.csrf.impl.CSRFFilter.

But my post request in Postman returns 403 -  Forbidden - Authentication Failed

I would appreciate it if anyone has had experience with testing doPost methods in a sling servlet from a rest client if they could assist.

 

regards

Hi

Please try this:-

1. http://localhost:4502/system/console/configMgr

2. Search for 'Apache Sling Referrer Filter'

3. Remove POST method from the filter. Then you can call your POST method anywhere.

4. Select “Allow Empty”

I hope this would help you.

    You're posting to the author instance so make sure you are supplying a valid username and password to generate an authorization header.  You can choose the authorization type of "Basic Auth" and once you supply the username/password, you can press "Update Request" to generate the header that's needed.

      See my Java Swing article that posts files to AEM nodes. You can try the same thing to test your servlet - see the syntax of the servlet:

      PS - this is my main way of uploading files (JAR, JS, etc) to AEM nodes.
